The big question going into Katowice was whether NaVi's roster changes after the s1mple era had actually worked or whether they were still running on institutional reputation. The answer from the tournament is clearly yes, the rebuild worked. The new lineup plays a more structured and less individually dependent style than the s1mple-era teams did, and in a CS2 meta where utility coordination matters more than individual peak fraggers, that approach is specifically advantaged. Their upper bracket run was clinical. The final was convincing. If I had to pick one roster to win the Major this year based on Katowice form, it would be NaVi.

JDG's draft diversity is real. They're the first LPL team in years where I genuinely don't know which champions their mid-laner will pick in a must-win game.
