Team Falcons vs Natus Vincere Prediction 20 March 2026
🔊 The main highlight of the game day. Falcons confidently dealt with NRG, but it's not all perfect - they're playing with a substitute. Due to visa issues, kyousuke is missing the tournament, and NucleonZ steps in. In their first match, he looked quite solid and didn't falter, which is already a good sign for the Falcons.
NaVi, on the other hand, didn't start as convincingly as the score might suggest. Yes, they closed out B8, but the series was tense - they pushed their map pick Ancient to overtime and couldn't close it out, having to settle it on the decider. This once again highlighted the team's main issue - inconsistency.
Head-to-Head
This season, the teams haven't crossed paths, but previously the Falcons have had the upper hand over the "born to win" squad. Overall, in recent encounters, the Falcons have emerged victorious more often, giving them a slight psychological edge.

Natus Vincere Team Overview
NaVi remain a team with a high ceiling, but their execution can be quite erratic. Yes, they've just secured a trophy, yet their gameplay issues persist. The series against B8 highlighted this-despite facing a less consistent opponent, the team made numerous mistakes and lost control at various points in the map. This becomes particularly evident when someone struggles with their shooting.
Nevertheless, NaVi's experience and preparation allow them to pull through tough series. They adapt well during matches and can turn the tide, even if the start isn't in their favor.
