NAVI CS2 and FC Dynamo Kyiv star in GG.BET’s Match of the LeGGends
The competition will kick off with Dynamo Kyiv’s athletes facing NAVI’s professional players in a warm-up classic CS2 map. That will be followed by an Arms Race format, where every participant plays solo to determine the rosters for the final game.
The climax will see mixed squads, called DYNAVI and NAVIDY, combining footballers and pro gamers, with even teammates forced to battle against each other.
A line-up of well-known hosts and commentators will lead the broadcast, including. Vitalii “v1lat” Volochai alongside analyst Mykhailo “Olsior” Zvieriev, Dynamo goalkeeper Denys Boyko, and “Lions on a Jeep” presenters Mykola Zyrianov and Valentyn Mikhiienko. Casting duties will be handled by Fedor “KvaN” Zakharov and Filip “thetremba” Tremba.
This crossover follows previous Match of LeGGends editions that paired NAVI with top esports teams such as Team Vitality.
