Natus Vincere vs G2 Prediction 14 June 2025
🔊 A clash between two giants who have lost their way. The winner advances to the Legends Stage, while the loser heads to the 2-2 bracket. NAVI versus G2-a matchup that, just a year ago, was synonymous with semifinals and titanic battles. Today, it's a story of survival, self-discovery, and a quest to prove that their time hasn't passed. It's hard to imagine a more dramatic matchup at this stage. Both teams have reached the 2-1 status through different paths, but they share one thing in common-instability. NAVI still don't seem like a team that knows what they're playing for, while G2, after losing m0NESY and facing more roster changes on the horizon, are playing under the banner of a 'last dance.' Yet, the potential of the players on both sides is immense, and a BO3 format is perfect to determine who truly deserves to advance to the legends.
Head-to-Head
The last time these iterations of NAVI and G2 clashed was in April 2025 at the ESL Pro League Season 21, where NAVI came out on top with a 2-0 victory. However, back then, G2 still had m0NESY on their roster. Now, with the weakened squad following the sniper replacement, huNter-'s team must give their all to put up a fight.
H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Natus Vincere Team Overview
For NAVI, this tournament is a tightrope walk. Their victory over Nemiga (13:7) was businesslike, but the match against 3DMAX nearly ended in disaster. Against Spirit, they had a chance, but the "Dragons" swept NAVI 2-0, exposing issues within the team’s structure and atmosphere. W0nderful is clearly out of form: missing crucial shots, making unstable moves, and lacking confidence. jL and b1t show flashes of brilliance, but not at their previous levels. Aleksib is trying to implement a pragmatic CS, but the team often falters in retakes, loses entry duels, and struggles to keep up with opponents. The key advantage for NAVI remains their strong players and ability to exploit opponents' weaknesses with strategic ideas. In short BO1 formats, this has saved them before, but now they need genuine momentum and confidence. This could be the match where NAVI either pull together and play as a cohesive unit or falter again and display lackluster CS.

G2 Team Overview
In short: for the current G2 lineup, this stage feels like the final act, and it's unlikely they'll advance to the Legends. With m0NESY's departure and the recent signing of SunPayus and coach SAW post-major, the team is playing with an understanding that a major rebuild is on the horizon. Hades steps in as a temporary sniper, while huNter- and HeavyGod rely on their experience to keep things going, though struggles in their play are evident. Despite this, G2 remain dangerous: malbsMd steps up in crucial moments, and their playstyle is simple, precise, yet effective. If they find their rhythm, they can only be stopped through strict discipline and counter-initiatives. Whether they can outplay Na'Vi with better map win rates or face a downfall will be revealed at the end of the series.

Editors' Prediction
Both teams are treading on thin ice. For G2, it's the end of an era and the dawn of a new chapter on the horizon. NAVI, on the other hand, are facing potential roster changes post-tournament, leaving questions about who will stay and who will go. In terms of discipline and map pool, NAVI seem stronger. They've been together for a while and don't face the same communication issues as G2. However, a BO3 allows for map trades and a full test of game depth. Both teams boast strong picks: NAVI will likely aim to keep Mirage, while G2 might prefer Ancient or Dust2. With equal preparation, the mental aspect and individual performances will be decisive here. Our main prediction is a victory for NaVi. Alternatively, we suggest: total maps over 2.5.
