NAVI Win Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 Mid-Season Finals After Downing TLC

NAVI were crowned champions of the Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 Mid-Season Finals in Los Angeles, beating Team Liquid Citadel 4-2 in a best-of-seven grand final to claim the event's $160,000 top prize.

The EMEA top seed cruised through the upper bracket, dispatching 100 Thieves and Virtus.pro before topping TLC 3-1 to reach the grand final. TLC fought back through the lower bracket with a win over RAD before running into NAVI again, but NAVI closed out the decider 4-2 to seal the title.

The Mid-Season Finals brought together the top 10 teams from the Americas, EMEA, Pacific and China regions following each region's Ignite 2026 Stage 1 series, with Liquid Citadel, Swamp Gaming and 100 Thieves representing the Americas and Gen.G and REJECT flying the flag for the Pacific.

The $500,000 total prize pool was shared across all 10 competing teams, with even the lowest-placed side walking away with $20,000, ahead of the season's next major LAN event, the Grand Finals, later this year.

NAVI's dominant run through the Mid-Season Finals bracket should firm up their position at the top of Playdash's Marvel Rivals Ignite outright market as the season heads toward its year-end climax.
