Natus Vincere vs FURIA Esports Predictions

FURIA Esports have been in rough form for a while now. Besides their miracle run to the semifinals of IEM Cologne 2024, the Brazilians have been unsatisfactory with their performances and have shown little to no progress. That is especially noticeable at the highest level of play.
Natus Vincere failed to deliver at the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, which they exited in ninth-11th place, but looked much better at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025. While they still have a lot to prove, NaVi are a couple of tiers above FURIA, and that should shown on Saturday.
- Natus VIncere look to build on the momentum
- FURIA Esports are extremely shaky
- NaVi should dominate
Head to Head
Natus Vincere and FURIA Esports have yet to meet this season.
Natus Vincere Form
Natus Vincere had a rough run at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, with a disappointing ninth-11th place finish. However, despite failing to defend their Major title, NaVi found more momentum at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025, where they made the semifinals, only to lose to the eventual champions, Team Spirit in a closely-contested game.
Natus Vincere are not at 100% yet, but this is a team you never want to underestimate. They showed just how good they can be in 2024, and once NaVi find more traction, we can start talking about their potential run to the IEM Katowice 2025 trophy.
Natus Vincere Squad & Team News
No changes for Natus Vincere.
- Valerij "b1t" Vakhovsjky
- Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen
- Justinas "jL" Lekavičius
- Mihai "iM" Ivan
- Ihor "w0nderful" Zhdanov
FURIA Esports Form
FURIA Esports are 3-1 since the start of the year, which looks much better than it really is. Despite going 1-1, they were not convincing at BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier, with a close victory against Nemiga Gaming (2-1) and a 1-2 loss against BetBoom Team.
Even in the play-in stage of Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2024, FURIA did not leave a good impression. They had an easy start against Imperial Female (2-0) and barely made it past Wildcard (2-1) in the decider match.
Both games were too close for comfort, and seeing FURIA struggle against lower-rated teams does not inspire much confidence that they'll do any better against a squad like Natus Vincere.
FURIA Esports Squad & Team News
FURIA Esports have not made any new roster changes.
- Yuri "yuurih" Boian
- Kaike "KSCERATO" Cerato
- Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo
- Marcelo "chelo" Cespedes
- Felipe "skullz" Medeiros
Verdict
FURIA Esports have been one of the most underwhelming top-tier teams in the scene, so much so that they hardly deserve that tag. Since the turn of the year, and even in late 2024, they have looked toothless when faced with any semi-decent squad and very shaky even in games where the Brazilians faced a lower-rated team.
Natus Vincere are not quite at 100% yet, but even in their current state, they should run over FURIA without issues.
