Team Falcons eliminate Natus Vincere 2–0 at Esports World Cup 2025 (BO3)

Team Falcons from MENA eliminated Eastern Europe’s Natus Vincere with a clean 2–0 sweep in the second round of the lower bracket at the Esports World Cup 2025.

Game one was all Falcons from start to finish. Malr1ne dominated midlane and racked up kill after kill with aggressive rotations, while ATF ran over the offlane with brutal tempo. NaVi tried to hold high ground, but the damage was done—Falcons took map one 26–8 in 39 minutes.

In game two, things didn’t get any better for the Ukrainian squad. Skiter had all the space he needed to scale, and Cr1t- was everywhere on the map, securing vision and punishing overextensions. Despite some early fight attempts from NaVi, they were constantly on the back foot. Falcons wrapped it up 35–9 in just over 35 minutes to close out the series.

With this victory, Team Falcons move on to the quarterfinals, where they will face Western Europe’s Team Liquid on Thursday, July 17 at 3:30 PM. Falcons look sharp heading into the playoffs, while NaVi’s EWC run comes to an end after back-to-back losses in the elimination phase.

Esports World Cup 2025 is taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, bringing together elite teams from around the globe for a multi-million dollar prize pool. With international prestige and qualification to The International 2025 on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher for every squad in attendance.
