On July 5, the second day of the third week of the VCT EMEA 2024 Stage 2 tournament took place. The team Natus Vincere suffered a defeat against KOI with a score of 0-2, extending their losing streak to five matches, starting from Stage 1. Moreover, in Stage 2, they have not won a single map in four matches.

After the match, team captain and IGL ANGE1 shared his feelings:

KOI 0-2, making it 0-4 this split, 0-8 maps. Honestly, I have no words. After our second loss to Heretics in the playoffs (Stage 1), it feels like something broke within the team. I want you to know that most of us would prefer to be benched if given the option. I'm not sure if we still have a chance to make it to the playoffs. I'm very sorry.

Despite NAVI inability to qualify for Masters Shanghai, they showed a strong performance in Stage 1, securing four victories with one loss. However, following the dismissal of head coach Erik and the promotion of LATEKS from assistant coach, the team has failed to win a single map in their last five matches.

Coach LATEKS also expressed his disappointment:

I have no words. I haven't tweeted in a long time because I didn't know what to say, and I still don't. There are no excuses, and I'm very sorry. We need to improve, and I need to improve myself.

 

The situation in the EMEA league is extremely tense. NAVI have a high chance of reaching the playoffs if they secure a victory in their last match against Gentle Mates. Can they pull themselves together at the last moment?
