GG.BET stages CS2 showmatch between NAVI and FC Dynamo Kyiv

GG.BET brings back its Match of LeGGends series with a new cross-disciplinary twist, pitting Ukrainian esports powerhouse Natus Vincere (NAVI) and football giants FC Dynamo Kyiv in an exhibition Counter-Strike 2 match.

The showmatch will take place on Sept. 23 at 10am CT / 6pm CEST. It will feature professional footballers taking on NAVI CS2 stars in front of a global online audience, blending traditional sports with esports action.

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.

GG.BET, which recently became Dynamo Kyiv’s first title sponsor, aims to underline the universal appeal of skill, competition, and entertainment across both physical sports and esports arenas.

With this initiative, GG.BET is continuing to push hybrid sports entertainment, offering fans of both clubs fresh ways to connect with their idols while drawing wider audiences to esports and traditional sports alike.

GG.BET is an international betting brand specializing in both sports and esports wagering, with a strong focus on popular competitive titles such as CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and VALORANT.
