Karmine Corp and Natus Vincere will play in the fifth round of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023 regular season: EMEA League. To put it bluntly, the French-Belgian squad can only expect to struggle for the ram, as there is virtually no game here.
For their part, Born to Win seem to be keeping afloat, but the test of strength is yet to come. However, Karmine Corp have been giving their opponents chances in their own right, such as with their latest squad woes.
Therefore, here I would lean on a resounding victory for the Natus Vincere team, which, all other things being equal, seems to be two heads stronger than the opponent. Well ScreaM and company should be wished good luck as the season is almost lost.
Karmine Corp form
The 147th ranked team in Europe failed at VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they beat FunPlus Phoenix with a lopsided victory, and then skipped the LOUD.
Furthermore, the Belgian-French side continued to fall even further in the Long Conger VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League with only a victory over BBL Esports.
And then Karmine Corp ran into squad problems, which automatically jeopardize the team's prospects for the rest of the season.
Recent results for Karmine Corp:
- A 0-2 loss to LOUD.
- A 2-0 win over BBL Esports.
- A 0-2 loss to Team Heretics.
- 0-2 defeat for Team Liquid.
- 0-2 defeat for Team Vitality.
Best Karmine Corp:
- Lotus - 100% wins.
- Pearl - 50% wins.
- Icebox - 50% wins.
It is worth noting that the French-Belgian team usually gives up maps Fracture.
Form Natus Vincere
The third team of the European ranking managed to be in the semi-finals of the recent VCT 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where they crushed Fnatic without a chance.
Moreover, the team was unsuccessful in the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, already in the first round of the Ledge and KOI.
However, Natus Vincere began to find their game, picking up three wins in a row. In general, the team is clearly aiming for the play-offs, and it is unlikely that Karmine Corp can do anything to stop it.
The latest results from Natus Vincere:
- A 0-3 loss to Fnatic.
- A 0-2 loss to KOI.
- A 2-1 win over Giants Gaming.
- Beat BBL Esports 2-0.
- Defeated Team Heretics 2-1.
Best Natus Vincere scores:
- Pearl - 100% wins.
- Split - 100% wins.

- Fracture - 80% wins.
In turn, Born to Win is not shown on the Haven map.

Forecast of the match Karmine Corp - Natus Vincere
It is known that the assistant coach will play for Karmine Corp. Yes, and against Natus Vincere it's hard to come up with anything. Understandably, Born to Win rarely presses with confidence, but the Belgian-French squad rarely put up a fight for anyone at the moment. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Natus Vincere's 2-0 win.
