Tundra Esports

Natus Vincere (NaVi) take on Tundra Esports in what promises to be a clash between a legacy CIS powerhouse and a top-tier international squad. Tundra enter this matchup with momentum, having performed strongly against elite opposition. NaVi need to deliver crisp drafts and clean execution if they are to avoid being overrun. Team Profiles: Tundra Esports: • Among the global elite, with depth in drafts, strong teamfight coordination, and proven performance under pressure. • In recent matches, they beat NaVi in key series (e.g. The International 2025, 2-1) by adapting mid-series and controlling objectives. • Head-to-head advantage: in past 8 matches vs NaVi, Tundra have won ~6, with map score ~12-7 in their favor. Key Factors • Draft Priority & Flexibility: Picks that counter Tundra’s teamfight or enable early aggression will be crucial for NaVi. Tundra will aim for stable cores with good scaling and strong teamfight presence. • Early Game vs Snowball: Tundra tend to punish mistakes early; NaVi must avoid early deficits in tower control, vision, and gold. • Momentum & Adaption: Tundra’s past wins show they adapt well mid-series. If NaVi lose the first map, the odds tilt heavily toward Tundra. • Objective Control: Roshan, key towers, and map control will likely decide the third game if the match goes the distance. ⸻ Prediction: Given the head-to-head history, recent results, and Tundra’s strong form vs NaVi, Tundra Esports are the more reliable pick. Summary: Tundra enter this match as favorites: their superior adaptability, better recent record vs NaVi, and more reliable execution make them the safer bet. NaVi have shown flashes—wins when drafting well and entering games with strong early leads—but in this matchup, unless NaVi can force a chaotic game early (and win it), Tundra are likely to take the series.
