In a few minutes, one of the most interesting matches on the Counter-Strike 2 scene is expected to begin, where NAVI will face Mongolz in the quarterfinals of the prestigious IEM Cologne tournament.

The two teams have secured qualification among the best and today will play in front of thousands of spectators in one of the largest e-sports arenas.

For Kosovar fans, this challenge has one more reason to follow: Drin "makazze" Shaqiri, one of the game's most promising talents, will also be joining the server.

Makazze, just 18 years old, was promoted to NAVI's first team from the academy a few weeks ago, immediately securing a spot in one of the biggest Counter-Strike organizations, which is currently ranked as the ninth best team in the world.

IEM Cologne is his first major event at this level and a golden opportunity to showcase his talent in front of an international audience and industry analysts.
