FURIA Esports enter the upcoming BO3 fixture as underdogs, priced at 4.20 with Stake, whereas Natus Vincere are 1.22 favourites. This price difference should not surprise anyone, but at 4.20, FURIA might be a bit underrated.

  • FURIA Esports have beaten MOUZ and FaZe Clan
  • Natus Vincere are one of the tournament favourites
  • FURIA (#14) worse ranked than Natus Vincere (#1)

Head to Head


Natus Vincere and FURIA Esports last met during the Esports World Cup 2024 in July, when NaVi won.

  • Natus Vincere 2-0 FURIA Esports – July 17, 2024

FURIA Esports Form


FURIA Esports enter this match in excellent form. The Brazilian Counter-Strike team have already exceeded expectations in their home event by beating FaZe Clan and MOUZ, which is a very good sign of how far they can go.

While beating NaVi is a much tougher ask, FURIA have been posting solid results of late. That is especially thanks to Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato, who has been playing incredibly well and is the current fourth-highest-rated player of the tournament.

There are still some areas where FURIA lack, however, as they have a positive win rate on just three maps in the rotation, including Dust II, Inferno, and Nuke (all +60%). On the other hand, NaVi boast a positive win rate on all maps but Inferno, where they are 36%.

FURIA Esports Squad & Team News


FURIA Esports have not made any roster changes.

  • Felipe "skullz" Medeiros

Natus Vincere Form


Natus Vincere are the current no.1 Counter-Strike team in the world, and one of the main candidates to win IEM Rio 2024. They've been producing solid results over the last month and haven't had many issues reaching the upper-bracket finals of Group A.

NaVi made easy work of Imperial Esports (13-2) in the first round and then edged past the surging Team Liquid (2-1) on Monday when they got smoked on Inferno with 4-13.

Even though NaVi are in great form, it is clear that Inferno is a big weakness and a map FURIA Esports could look to exploit, especially knowing that NaVi will likely want to ban Vertigo – a map they have not played once over the last three months.

No changes for Natus Vincere.

  • Justinas "jL" Lekavičius

  • Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov

Verdict

This is Natus VIncere's game to lose, but we have seen enough from FURIA Esports to say that they can show some resistance.

Especially if the series will be played on Inferno, FURIA should be in a great spot to take at least one map. From there, it will mostly come down to Natus Vincere, and whether they slip and while this is unlikely, FURIA Esports should be good for at least one map.
