NaVi uniforms
We open the NaVi vs M80 match with an analysis of Natus Vincere's form. In this match NaVi play the first number with odds to win around 1.3.
NaVi took BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A without any problems and qualified for the Major in Paris. Before the only Major of the season, Natus Vincere took the top 4 at the IEM Masters Rio 2023.
The Paris tournament turned out to be a failure for NaVi. Top-11 is hardly a decent result for a team of Natus Vincere's status.
- NaVi roster: w0nderful, b1t, Aleksib, jL, iM.
Before the Long Conner IEM Cologne NaVi made a global Reshuffle, translating the roster into English. In addition to electroNic, Perfecto and npl who left, jL with Apeks, iM with GamerLegion and Aleksib, who previously played for Ninjas in Pyjamas, joined the team.
With the new lineup, NaVi made their debut at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2023. "Born to Win" managed to earn a place in the autumn finals by finishing in the top 4-6.
At IEM Cologne 2023 Natus Vincere played two matches. First, they lost to MOUZ with a score of 0-2, and then defeated OG in Bo3. At the end of the top championship NaVi reached the top 8, which can be called a good result for the then renewed roster.
Then there were a number of appearances at major events with very good results. NaVi entered the top 8 at Gamers8 and took the top 2 at ESL Pro Legue Season 18.
The key tournament of the season for "yellow-black" can be called IEM Sydney 2023. There NaVi for the first time in a long time played without their main headliner S1mple, whose place was temporarily taken by coach B1ad3. Andrew tried, but NaVi could not jump above the top-12.
After S1mple left the active roster, NaVi started the game with w0nderful. He made his debut for the Yellow-Blacks at BLAST Premier: World Final 2023. Natus Vincere played him very well, reaching the top 4. In the match for the Grand Final Ledgeili future champions of the tournament and the best team in the world Vitality.
The year 2024 started with high notes - they became the best at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024: European Qualifier A. However, further on, the performance slipped a bit and NaVi took the top-12 at ESL Pro League Season 19 and IEM Dallas 2024, as well as the top-2 at BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024.
Esports World Cup 2024 NaVi Long Competed with a solid 2-0 win over FURIA. Entering the play-offs, "born to win" fell to FaZe Clan in the first round. NaVi were again stronger than FaZe, but this time they won with the score 2-0. Then there was a rather difficult match against MOUZ, where NaVi lost on the first map with the score 1-13, but then they got together and made it to the grand final. In the final match they played against G2 Esports, where they won 2-1, thus winning their second prestigious tournament of the year.
At the BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 NaVi Long Competed with a confident victory over BIG. But against Liquid "born to win" did not fare well, losing in a dramatic situation without defuse kits on the 3rd map. In the re-match with BIG they were stronger again, confidently shutting down the German club with a score of 2-0. However, they failed to move further into the top 6 at BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024.
At the ESL Pro League Season 20 NAVI became the winners of Group A, passing Lynn Vision, NiP and Eternal Fire without any problems. NaVi started the ESL Pro League Season 20 playoffs with a victory over their principal rival - Team Spirit - and a confident 2-0 win. Next, they defeated G2 Esports (2-1) and defeated Eternal Fire in the EPL S20 final with a score of 3-2.
At IEM Rio 2024 NaVi qualified from Group A in second place, Ledgeiv Furia. In the play-offs, they beat Vp (2-0) and Heroic (2-1) in turn. And in the grand finals NaVi defeated MOUZ (3-1), thus becoming the champion of a major tournament for the 4th time in a season.
However, NaVi did not manage to be the best everywhere and everywhere. For example, at BLAST Premier: World Final 2024, where "Born to Win" failed to qualify for the play-offs.
At PW Shanghai Major 2024: European RMR A, NaVi won two matches, beating Fnatic and Sinners, but then lost to MOUZ in the match to qualify for the Major. However, they managed to reach the Elimination Stage at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 at the second attempt, beating sAw 2-0.
Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024: Elimination Stage Natus Vincere Long They started with a victory over Liquid, and then lost to MIBR and Spirit. They knocked GamerLegion out of the tournament, but fell short against Heroic, leaving the World Championship one step away from the play-offs.
BLAST Bounty Season 1 Long They started off with a win over Imperial Female and then defeated Astralis. In play-offs they played against paiN and it was a very difficult match for the Ukrainian team, but still they won. And then - Spirit, losing 1-2 and TOP-4 in the end.
NaVi got to IEM Katowice 2025 by direct invitation, they started the group stage with a confident victory over FURIA with the score 2-0. Then a key 2-1 win over Spirit and an easy win against MongolZ in the match for seeding in the play-offs. However, after getting straight into the second round of play-offs, NaVi failed to cope with their eternal rival Spirit and ended up in the top 4.
At ESL Pro League Season 21 NaVi Long Sogpeg started with an unexpected defeat by sAw, but then, albeit with difficulty, managed to take the series against TYLOO and paiN. In the play-offs match they beat G2, and they beat them 2-0. But at the actual Long Segment play-offs - a 0-2 loss to MongolZ and a final top-8 finish.

Finding themselves in the last chance net, they outplayed FlyQuest in a very tough match. In the match for the play-offs they lost to Liquid.
NaVi Mappool
The best NaVi map for 3 months is Inferno. The team played there 5 times with a win rate of 60 per cent.
On Mirage and Anubis NaVi has 50% wins. On Ancient and Nuke the team played 4 matches each, on the others - 2.
Vertigo is not playing.
M80 uniforms
We continue the analysis of the match M80 - NaVi with the analysis of M80 form. Here the Brazilian club will have to play as an outsider with odds to win around 4.
M80 can hardly be called a top club or a close competitor for teams of G2 level and others. However, they play on the international stage with unenviable regularity, which is to be wished for other TIR-2 teams, but not only.
One of the most "successful" seasons was the 2024 season. They opened it with a performance at the Intel Extreme Masters 2024. We played, tried - top 20.
Next was ESL Pro League Season 19, where M80 again did not surprise us. At ESL Pro League Season 19 they took TOP-20.
- The composition of M80: Swisher, reck, slaxz-, s1n, Lake.
Then there was IEM Dallas 2024, again S-Tier tournament, where M80 took TOP-16. Later visited Esports World Cup 2024, where they lost in the first round to MongolZ, finishing in the top 13.
In the season 2025 they again "marked" at the Tier-S tournament, where they again played at their level. That is, they took TOP-18.
BLAST Open Lisbon 2025 Long Started with a match against MongolZ, where, contrary to expectations, they fought back and took the card. Having found themselves in the bottom net they knocked FURIA out of the tournament, but in the next round they lost to G2 Esports with the score 0-2. At the end of BLAST Open Lisbon 2025, M80 were ranked in the top 12.
M80 Mappool
M80's best map is Ancient. There M80 has 7 wins in 9 matches. However, Mirage can also be called a signature choice: it was played 13 times and won 10 of them.
Things are not bad on Anubis, where M80 has 8 wins and 4 losses.
The worst results are on Vertigo. There M80 have statistics 2-4.
History of head-to-head meetings between NaVi and M80
Previously, the teams have not played each other in official matches.
Predicted result of M80 - NaVi at PGL Astana 2025
Recently NaVi are not happy. Not even so: NaVi have not been happy since the 2025 season and even in a match against an opponent of M80's level they will have difficulties. However, I still believe in the victory of "born to win".
Bottom line: NaVi win.
