Natus Vincere have joined the race for the $1 million Intel Grand Slam (IGS) Season 3 prize after beating G2 to the IEM Katowice title.

The CIS team became the sixth different champion in as many IGS-eligible events this season, joining Liquid, Evil Geniuses, fnatic, Astralis and mousesports in the race for the $1 million prize.

Na`Vi are the first winners of a Masters Championship level competition, a higher tier of tournaments introduced by ESL for Season 3 after Liquid's incredible feat of winning Season 2 inside just 63 days. A team can win the Grand Slam with just four titles inside a span of ten events provided that one of them came from a Masters Championship (for 2020, this tier also includes the ESL One Rio Major and ESL One Cologne). Otherwise, they will need to win six tournaments out of ten to complete the Grand Slam.

Na`Vi won the first Masters Championship event

This means that Na`Vi could scoop the $1 million cheque as early as June, at DreamHack Masters Jönköping, if they carry this sort of form into the next three eligible tournaments, starting with the ESL Pro League Season 11 Finals, next month.

But with the Rio Major also being a Masters Championship event, any of the other five teams who have picked up IGS titles this season could walk away with the $1 million prize in Jönköping if they go on a dominant streak.
