Match Prediction: NaVi - EXTREMUM | Dota 2
The International 10: Eastern Europe QualifierNaVi and EXTREMUM will play in the first round of the upper bracket of the closed qualifiers at The International. Finally, we will see an updated lineup of those born to win in action.
On the eve of the closed qualifiers, and even at WePlay AniMajor, there was a lot of talk about the yellow-blacks. Some players noted that the updated roster of Natus Vincere has every chance of a direct passage to The International.
Such words and guesses do not come out of nowhere. From the words, again, players and community representatives, we know that NaVi practice a lot and prepare for the qualifiers.
It will be all the more interesting to watch them in the opening match. The opponent, frankly, is not the strongest, but you can't call him frankly weak either.
We are trying to predict the outcome of the match and name the winner of the match.
NaVi form
Since we devoted almost the entire preface to NaVi, I think it would be right to start a global analysis with them. Whatever one may say, but this is one of the main contenders for victory in these qualifiers.
However, before their start, the only thing we can rely on when parsing the form is the past results. And they are so-so.
NaVi Latest Results
- Defeat AS Monaco Gambit 2-0
- Lose to VP 0-2
- Winstrike 2-0
- Lost to Unique with a score of 1-2
- Lose at PuckChamp 1-2
At the end of the season, NaVi fell apart, to put it mildly. In principle, we saw the consequences in the form of two new players.
EXTREMUM form
If they talked about NaVi during WePlay AniMajor 2021 and recalled at least indirectly, then in the case of EXTREMUM we really have practically nothing to cling to. You can only remember the performance during the past seasons.
And they were so-so: in the first season they somehow got hold of the 5th place, but in the second season they lost all 7 meetings without ideology. The results are about the same.
EXTREMUM last matches results
- Defeat AZm 1-0
- Defeat from ViKin.gg with a score of 2-1
- Win over X3 1-0
- Lost at ViKin.gg with a score of 0-1
- Lost to the Hellbear Smashers 0-2
The performance in the second season turned out to be very revealing. As for me, after the closed qualifiers for The International, this roster will cease to exist.
Personal meeting history
NaVi and EXTREMUM managed to play several official matches with each other. Born to Win won 2 of them and 1 fight ended in a 1-1 draw.
The outcome of the fight
Considering the latest performance of EXTREMUM, I do not believe that this team is capable of showing anything in the closed qualifiers. NaVi are obliged to replay them and do it with great confidence.
Result: NaVi wins 2-0.
NAVI and EXTREMUM will play each other in the upper bracket of The International 10 CIS qualifiers. Natus Vincere in their current roster did not play official matches, while Extremum, with the arrival of Blizzy, played several tournaments.
EXTREMUM finished 8th in the first division of last season, 5th-8th in the open qualifier for ESL One Summer 2021 and 7th-8th in the Pinnacle Cup 2021.
Play for NAVI: V-Tune, No[O] ne, RAMZES666, RodjER, SoNNeikO

Match prediction: NAVI vs EXTREMUM in the CIS qualifiers for The International 10
On paper, NAVI are the main contenders to win these qualifiers, they changed the roster, No[O] ne and SoNNeikO joined them, and ALWAYSWANNAFLY and Iceberg left the team. According to my feelings, NAVI will go quite far, but they will definitely have problems at this tournament. There is information that Natus Vincere do not train with CIS teams, but focus on practice with Europeans.
Whether EXTREMUM wins, I can't believe it at all, whether they can squeeze one card - yes, quite. Well, I don’t know, if you are not confident in beating Extremum, then what are the general chances of getting to The International 10.
Bookmakers give odds 1.2 for NAVI, 4.38 for EXTREMUM. Purely due to the names, such quotes and they are quite objective. I would like to blindly believe in 2: 0, the coefficient for this is 1.745.
