How the bookies view it: NAVI favorite
Most bookmakers consider NAVI the favorite in the match against Passion UA at PGL Wallachia Season 6: Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier. The team has made significant progress this season and recently performed successfully in the qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 27 and BLAST Slam IV.
Passion UA form
Let's begin our Dota 2 betting prediction with an analysis of Passion UA form. The Ukrainian team started performing at the professional level in 2024. That season, Passion UA participated in numerous qualifiers and Tier-3 tournaments.
Passion UA roster: Crystallize, Moonlight, BBODDY, QBFY, kreker
Passion UA first made a name for themselves at PGL Wallachia Season 2: Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier. The team managed to claim victories over several strong opponents, including Natus Vincere, and finished 2nd in the qualifiers.
Passion UA also competed at European Pro League Season 19 and finished 3rd. Even though there were no world-class teams at that event, they still gained valuable experience.
After that came a mediocre performance at CCT Series 3 — 5th-6th place — and a bunch of qualifiers, which unfortunately were unsuccessful.
Passion UA returned to Tier-3 tournaments, making it into the top-2 at CCT Series 5, European Pro League Season 21, and top-3 at European Pro League Season 22.
In the 2025 season, the team took part in even more qualifiers and Tier-3 tournaments.
Among Passion UA’s achievements this season are 1st place at UPEA National League 2025, 2nd place at CCT Season 2 Series 3, and 3rd place at CCT Series 6, European Pro League Season 29.
The performance at PGL Wallachia Season 6: Eastern Europe Closed Qualifier is a good chance for Passion UA to earn a slot at a Tier-1 tournament, but for that, they need to defeat strong opponents.

NAVI form
Let's continue our Dota 2 betting tips with an analysis of NAVI form. Almost every gamer has heard of this legendary esports organization. NAVI is one of the pioneers of competitive gaming, especially in Dota 2, and they were also the winners of the first-ever The International.
NAVI roster: gotthejuice, Niku, pma, Zayac, Riddys
It’s worth noting that NAVI recently made changes to their roster. Several players from NAVI Junior, who have shown better performances this season, will be promoted to the main lineup. However, not all of the new players will be participating at PGL Wallachia Season 5.
In 2023, although Natus Vincere remained a well-known name, they did not compete at the highest level. They began the season by playing in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I and Tour 2, finishing in 8th and 7th place respectively. After that, they played in several Tier-2 and Tier-3 events, with a notable highlight being their victory in DPC EEU 2023 Tour 3: Division II.
They failed to qualify for The International 2023, finishing 3rd in the regional qualifiers, and continued to participate in lower-tier tournaments.
The 2024 season was slightly better for the team. NAVI started the year by playing through a series of qualifiers and managed to secure a spot at DreamLeague Season 23. However, their performance at the event was disappointing — they only managed to defeat Azure Ray and finished in 11th-12th place.
NAVI started showing improvement at Clavision: Snow Ruyi, where they finished 4th. After that tournament, the team once again took part in regional qualifiers and qualified for PGL Wallachia Season 2, which turned out to be their peak performance in 2024. At that event, NAVI finished the group stage with a 3-1 record and advanced to the playoffs. In the lower bracket, they defeated Infinity 2-1 and Nouns Esports 2-0, ultimately securing 4th place at the tournament.
In 2025, Natus Vincere again played a bunch of qualifiers, but not very successfully. On the Tier-1 stage, they played only at PGL Wallachia Season 3 where they took 9-11th place, and on the Tier-3 stage, they won at CCT Series 8.
However, NAVI Junior played an incredible game this year. They took 1st and 2nd place at CCT Series 6 and CCT Series 7, took 7-8th place at PGL Wallachia Season 4, and most importantly managed to qualify for the Esports World Cup and The international 2025, so now NAVI Junior will become the main squad and replace the current Natus Vincere squad.
At the Esports World Cup 2025, NAVI performed at the expected level. In the group stage, the team managed to secure 2nd place in their group, but in the Elimination Stage they lost to Team Falcons and dropped out of the tournament, finishing 9th-12th.
At the biggest Dota 2 tournament of the year, The International 2025, NAVI disappointed their fans. The team managed to secure only one victory, against HEROIC 2-0, while the rest of the matches, although played decently, ended in losses, leaving them in 14th-15th place.
A new stage for NAVI began in the autumn season: the team changed their coach and successfully performed at DreamLeague Season 27: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and RES Unchained: BLAST Slam IV Europe Closed Qualifier, winning and earning slots at the main tournaments.
