In the interview, Polish legend Viktor TaZ Wojtas spoke about the current form of Natus Vincere.
The Pole was asked about the NAVI form:
For me, NAVI is still a dangerous team. They can still win majors. They have s1mple, electronic, b1t, and Perfecto - they won the Intel Grand Slam!
Now I don't understand who does Boombl4's job in NAVI. If electroNic does it, it's not very good for the team. I mean team understanding in the game. What are the responsibilities of npl? For me, the question is whether b1t will be able to break down again. Will s1mple be able to show his best CS? I don't worry about electroNic and Perfecto as I do about s1mple and b1t. This cannot be said about npl. He is in a challenging situation.
We remind you that the last two championships in which “born to be winners” took part were: IEM Rio 2023 and BLAST.tv Major Paris: European RMR A 2023.
Let's look at statistics. Let's start with the most recent championship, namely IEM Rio 2023. NAVI took 3-4th place in the championship and lost to Heroic in the semi-finals.
After all the matches, only the sniper of the team Oleksandr s1mple Kostyliev, who took 3rd place with a rating of 6.8, entered the top 10 best players purely by rating.
Next, the 15th line of the rating was occupied by Denys electroNic Sharypov with a rating of 6.3.
But, if we look at the overall score of only NAVI’s players, we can observe the following situation:
It should be noted that this tournament did not go well for Valery b1t Vakhovsky. He finished with a rating of 5.5, which is not typical for Valery.
After all, even in the last 15 matches, his average rating was: 6.3!
BLAST.tv Major Paris: European RMR A 2023
This was the RMR Championship for slots on the last CS:GO Major! Navi beat all their rivals, took first place, and secured their way to the BLAST.tv Major Paris in the status of legends!
Andrey npl Kuharsky, the team's newbie, had a blast at this championship! His rating was 6.8, and he was among the top 10 players in the tournament with electroNic!
At this tournament, all NAVI players showed a stable and good game, and if you take the dry statistics, you can't fault anyone. Moreover, the team didn’t lose a single map because the team played only four matches!
For example, in the statistics of matches with Heroic for 2023, NAVI won in 50% of cases.
But against the G2 team, Natus Vincere lost all their meetings in 2023.
But the first meeting against Vitality can happen in 2023. For 2022, the teams met only ten times, of which NAVI won 8.
The next tournament for NAVI will be BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where the team will start its performance on May 13, while the opponent is not yet known.
BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 takes place from May 8 to May 21. The prize pool of the tournament is $1,250,000!
