The best player of the match was Drin "makazze" Shaqiri, for whom this is a debut Major. He not only performed well in the playoff stage but completely dismantled FURIA Esports , recording 50 kills with 43 deaths and averaging 93 ADR across three maps. It is worth noting that every NAVI player finished the match with a positive K/D, except for Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen.
The situation for FURIA Esports was completely different — not a single player managed to end the series with a positive K/D, and the main star of the roster, Danil "molodoy" Golubenko, delivered the weakest performance on his team.
FURIA Esports exited StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 on December 12 in 5th–8th place, taking home $45,000 in prize money from the total prize pool, while NAVI will face FaZe on December 13 for a spot in the grand final.
