Head to Head
Virtus.pro and Natus Vincere last met in June, when NaVi won.
- Natus Vincere 2-0 Virtus.pro – June 15, 2024
Virtus.pro Form
Virtus.pro started their Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024 campaign with a 10-13 loss against The MongolZ, but they've found more traction in the lower bracket.
Despite the rough start to the tournament, Virtus.pro won their next three series against 9z Team (2-1), Astralis (2-0), and The MongolZ (2-0) to book the final Group B ticket for the playoffs.
With those wins, VP are 6-4 from their last ten series, which is not terrible; however, they've not beaten a single top-rated Counter-Strike esports team over that stretch, so it is fair to question how they will do against NaVi.
Virtus.pro Squad & Team News
No changes for Virtus.pro.

- Evgeniy "FL1T" Lebedev
- Petr "fame" Bolyshev

Natus Vincere Form
Natus Vincere looked excellent across the first two rounds of the IEM Rio 2024 group stage, with commanding victories against Imperial Esports and Team Liquid. However, despite their explosive start, NaVi slipped against FURIA Esports in Group A upper bracket final.
The series ended with FURIA picking up both maps, Nuke (13-10) and Mirage (13-4), proving to the world that they can play at the top level, but more importantly, that NaVi can bleed.
How much that performance means in the greater picture is up to debate, but it is worth noting that all but one of NaVi players ended the series with a below 1.00 performance rating.
Natus Vincere Squad & Team News
Natus Vincere have not announced any roster changes.
- Valerij "b1t" Vakhovsjkyj
- Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen
- Justinas "jL" Lekavičius
- Mihai "iM" Ivan
- Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov
Verdict
Natus Vincere slipped in their previous outing, yet despite the abysmal display, they are expected to do well against Virtus.pro. That makes sense, as VP have not beaten any great teams of late, yet they are in great form and definitely have enough talent to do some damage.
If we see Inferno played, VP should be in a good spot to take a map, but they are also efficient on Mirage and Aubis, so they should have a few opportunities to make a map off the limping NaVi.
