In the final of the group A losers' grid, we will meet two teams from the CIS - Natus Vincere and Team Spirit. The teams won and lost once in the championship. And now the teams will have to determine in a face-to-face meeting who will represent the region at the upcoming IEM Global Challenge 2020.
Natus Vincere uniform
Born to Win slightly moved up in the world rankings, settling on the fourth line. The start has been made for IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, which means that NAVI will have to pass the final exam in the group stage.
At the start of the tournament, the team beat the Danes from MAD Lions (2: 1) with some problems. However, in the second meeting of the championship, Natus Vincere was beyond the power of Complexity, which showed tenacity and was able to win with a score of 2: 1.
And now "Born to Win" will have to face Spirit - a team that has already surprised by not being relegated early.
Natus Vincere card pool:
- Train - 73% wins.
- Mirage - 62% wins.
- Dust 2 - 58% wins.
- Nuke - 56% wins.
At the same time, NAVI, however, as usual, does not play on Vertigo.
Team Spirit uniform
"Dragons" hold the bar, occupying the 18th line in the world ranking. And the latest results of the team only confirm the high class of Spirit at the highest level. After the third place at IEM New York 2020 CIS, the team went to conquer the closed qualifier for IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, where they managed to beat FATE (2: 0), North (2: 0) and Sprout (2: 1).
However, the “dragons” did not have a good start at the championship, as the team from the CIS quite expectedly lost to the best team on the planet - Vitality (0: 2). But we should pay tribute to Spirit, who managed to beat OG (2: 0) in the elimination match and compete for a place in the sun.
Best Team Spirit cards:
- Train - 80% wins.
- Overpass - 78% wins.
- Dust 2 - 71% wins.
- Mirage - 70% wins.
And if you look at the team's cards, I would like to wish NAVI good luck in the upcoming game. At the same time, “dragons”, like their rival, do not play on Vertigo.
Personal meetings statistics
The last game was marked by a sensation, because it did not take place. At the IEM New York 2020 CIS, the teams were supposed to play for 3rd place, but the match never took place, and NAVI was awarded a forfeit defeat. However, we can remember the game of the WePlay! Clutch Island, where Natus Vincere closed Spirit with a score of 2: 0.
Forecast for the match Natus Vincere - Spirit
A very difficult game for two teams. NAVI is approaching the game in the favorite rank, while Spirit performed impressively with OG. Still, it seems to me that Born to Win should continue. And in this game I propose to bet on the victory of the Natus Vincere team with the odds of 1.63.
