Natus Vincere's form

Overall this year, Natus Vincere has seen a slight downturn in the quality of their play. Since the beginning of the current season, Born to Win have taken 3-4th places at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023, ESL Pro League Season 17 and Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023. In Katowice the team earned $80,000. At the Paris Major s1mple and the team qualified thanks to their victory at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A. At BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 NAVI did not show much success, finishing in 9th-11th place and earning $20,000. At BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023, the Ukrainian team finished in 4th-6th place in the standings and received $17,500 in prize money and a trip to BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023.

Before the tournament in Saudi Arabia, NAVI played at IEM Cologne 2023. NAVI's debut at the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023 was not the most successful. The team got into Group B, where they first played against MOUZ. Defeat on two maps sent s1mple and his teammates to the bottom of the grid. On their way to the final of the net the team defeated such teams as OG and FaZe Clan with the score 2:1 (Anubis - 16-13, Inferno - 11-16, Ancient - 16-10) and 2:0 (Mirage - 16-9, Overpass - 19-17), respectively. However, the Ukrainian team failed to qualify for the play-offs. Natus Vincere Ledge defeated Astralis 1:2 in the final of the lower grid and left the tournament. The 7th-8th place at IEM Cologne 2023 provided NAVI with $24,000 in prize money.

Natus Vincere made it to Gamers8 2023 thanks to a direct invitation from the tournament organisers, ESL and Saudi Esports Federation. As a result of the draw, the first opponent of Born to Win was FURIA Esports. Showing not the most confident game, the Ukrainian club defeated the Brazilians with the score 2:1 (Nuke - 11-16, Mirage - 16-13, Ancient - 16-4).

Statistics of Natus Vincere's recent results:

• A 2-1 victory over FURIA Esports
• Defeat by Astralis with the score 1:2
• Victory over FaZe Clan with the score 2:0
• 2:1 win over OG
• 0:2 defeat to MOUZ

Team Vitality uniform

Team Vitality had a far from perfect start to the season. The European squad started this year with a 1-3 place finish at BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2023, followed by 5th-8th place finishes at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023 and ESL Pro League Season 17. But then ZywOo and his teammates were able to pick up their form and win the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2023 and BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, earning a combined $600,000 in prize money at those two events. In BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023, Team Vitality finished in second place at the tournament and won $85,000. BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023 finished in 4th-6th place for Vitality, which earned them $17,500 in prize money and a slot in BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023.

Prior to the trip to Riyadh, Team Vitality travelled to the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023. Team Vitality made it directly into the group stage, bypassing the Play-In stage matches. The draw placed the European team in Group B. In the top set, the team easily defeated such opponents as OG and MOUZ with a score of 2:0 and made it to the final winner's bracket, guaranteeing themselves a place in the play-offs. ZywOo and his Ledge team defeated G2 Esports in a full bo3 series to advance to the quarter-finals of the play-offs. There the European team outplayed Cloud9 2-0 (Mirage - 16-11, Inferno - 19-17) and advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament. ENCE gave a worthy rebuff to Vitality, and for the European club this match became the last one. The defeat with the score 1:2 ensured Team Vitality 3-4th place and $80,000 prize money.

The organisers of the Gamers8 2023 tournament invited Team Vitality to participate in the $1,000,000 competition. The draw determined the first opponent for ZywOo and the Brazilian team from MIBR. The Brazilian team could not oppose the European club. A 2-0 victory (Anubis - 16-7, Inferno - 16-8) took Team Vitality to the semi-finals of the championship.

Statistics of Team Vitality's recent results:

• A 2-0 win over MIBR
• Defeat by ENCE with the score 1:2
• 2:0 win over Cloud9
• 1:2 defeat by G2 Esports
• 2:0 win over MOUZ
