One of the most interesting moments was the incident with Turkish fans who tried to help their team but inadvertently facilitated NAVI's victory.
Positions were given out by fans
NAVI's coach, B1ad3 , explained the situation: during the match on the Ancient map, Turkish fans sitting just five meters away from Eternal Fire 's players started shouting in Turkish, giving away the positions of NAVI players. This information was confirmed by people who understand Turkish. Despite several warnings, the fans continued to do so.
Unsuccessful help from fans
One of the key moments was when NAVI player jL won an important 1v3 round. During MAJ3R ' s attempt to defuse the bomb, the Turkish fans started making noise again, which inadvertently helped NAVI win the round. B1ad3 , NAVI's head coach, jokingly thanked them by giving them thumbs up in appreciation for the “tip.”
NAVI won the final
Despite the fans' attempts to influence the game, NAVI emerged victorious with a score of 3:2 on maps, winning the ESL Pro League title. This final was not only a spectacle on the map, but also left a lot of discussion outside the game, as fan interference could become an important precedent for the future.
Community reaction
Fans and analysts immediately reacted to the incident on social media. Most of them noted the inadmissibility of such behavior on the part of the fans, while others joked about the situation, comparing it to memes.
