The match between Natus Vincere and Imperial Fe as part of BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier will be a historic moment in the world of esports. This is only the second time that a women's team will compete against a men's team in this format. The game will be held in BO3 format, and it will be a decisive confrontation for the next stage of the tournament. The loser leaves the competition.

Current Team Form

NAVI

The NAVI team has been showing unstable form lately. After a confident victory at the Intel Extreme Masters Rio 2024, where they defeated MOUZ with a score of 3:1, the team's results have been on the decline. At the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, NAVI showed a controversial game, dropping out at the 9-11th place stage. They lost to Heroic and Spirit, although they managed to defeat GL and Liquid.

The team is one of the few that did not replace a single player, and the basic structure of the roster remained unchanged. NAVI's strength is their strategic approach and the individual skills of their key players.

Imperial Fe

The Imperial Fe women's team is the undisputed leader in the women's esports scene. They have won several prestigious women's tournaments, including ESL Impact League Season 6 and Fragster Female Summer Vibes 2024. In these tournaments, Imperial Fe demonstrated a consistent performance.

However, the team's experience against male teams is minimal. Their last serious defeat against FURIA Fe in the final of Rainhas do Clutch FERJEE 2024 may indicate some difficulties with adapting to the high level of resistance.

Team Map Pool

NAVI: The team looks strongest on Anubis (75%), Dust II (79%), and Ancient (72%) maps. Their weaknesses is Inferno (50%), where they usually lose to their opponents.

Imperial Fe: The team's main strengths are Inferno (89%) and Mirage(90%), but they do not play Anubis and Vertigo, which significantly limits their options in BO3 series.

Expected Muppets: Mirage, Ancient and Nuke.

Match Prediction

Given the current form of the teams, NAVI's experience and deep mapped roster make them clear favorites in this matchup. Imperial Fe is unlikely to put up much of a fight, given the difference in level and their lack of experience playing against male teams.

The likely result is 2-0 in favor of NAVI, where they will be able to dominate their favorite maps. Imperial Fe's only chance is to surprise their opponent, but they will have to show a perfect game to do so.

A match between a men's and a women's team is a rare event in esports, which generates additional interest. In this context, NAVI has every chance to write another victory in their history.
