NRG vs Natus Vincere head-to-head
Natus Vincere and NRG Esports have played each other give times since May 2017 and all confrontations have been won by Na'Vi.
Natus Vincere's Berlin Major so far
Na'Vi entered the Berlin Major at the New Legends stage and were one round away from elimination against Cr4zy. They had to play five games to qualify because of their early defeat against G2 and mousesports. They proceeded then to beat MIBR (2-0) and Cr4zy (2-1), eventually finishing seventh.
NRG Esports' Berlin Major so far
NRG Esports entered the Berlin Major at the New Challengers stage. Their early defeat against Dreameaters forced them into a four-game qualification. They won against TYLOO (16-7), Syman (16-4) and even got a clean win against another surprise of this tournament: AVANGAR. They finished fourth.
They showed a better display in the New Legends stage, finishing right below powerhouse ENCE with three victories against Renegades and two other powerhouses: Team Liquid and Astralis.
NRG vs Na'Vi predictions
NRG have been nothing short of heroic in this Berlin Major while Na'Vi have disappointed fans. This is a subjective approach to a match as each match has its own truth but dynamics are definitely in favor of NRG in this match-up.
Bookies are still hesitant to give them full credit and Na'vi's experience at such level could help them stem the enthusiastic NRG coming out this team at the moment. Game on!
