NAVI and Vitality, two of the best CS2 teams in the world, will go head-to-head in Match of LeGGends: Double Down this Saturday, Oct. 5. The showmatch is organized by international betting brand GG.BET, which sponsors both teams.

This showmatch will see NAVI and Vitality clash in a classic five-versus-five MR12 match on Tuscan, before moving on to a random map in Arms Race—where it's every player for himself, trying to achieve kills with multiple weapons before finishing the game with a knife kill. After the Arms Race action, the teams will play on a random Hostage map, where the T-side has to stop CTs from rescuing hostages.

Both NAVI and Vitality are having a good year in CS2 esports. The former won the PGL Copenhagen Major in March, the EWC in July, and ESL Pro League Season 20 in September. Vitality, on the other hand, won IEM Cologne in August over NAVI.

Last year's Match of LeGGends between NAVI and Vitality racked up over 1 million views, according to GG.BET. To celebrate the Match of LeGGends: Double Down, GG.BET is offering a freebet worth up to $100 with promocode NAVITALITY, and an exclusive sportsbook.
