Natus Vincere Team Overview
The "Born to Win" squad are struggling to maintain consistent form this season. Their shooting has dipped, jL's individual play has been lackluster, w0nderful is making unwarranted errors, and even Valera b1t can no longer boast stability. It's hard to pinpoint their current form; in their match against MIBR, B1ad3's team couldn't handle the opponent's map pick, and the game dragged into a decider, where NaVi eventually triumphed. Mirage remains a strong map for them, but they face minor challenges on other maps, particularly with their defensive play.
