Vitality vs NAVI - StarLadder Budapest Major 2025 Stage 3

The French powerhouse holds a crushing five-match winning streak against NAVI. This creates both a tactical blueprint and psychological edge that's difficult to overcome in high-pressure tournament settings. Vitality knows exactly how to dismantle NAVI's setups, and that mental burden weighs heavy when the server loads.

NAVI's recent form shows worrying inconsistency with losses to paiN and FURIA in just the last day. While they've shown flashes on Mirage and Train, their 46% Nuke winrate presents a glaring vulnerability that Vitality can exploit. The odds at 1.38 reflect this reality. Vitality can force NAVI onto uncomfortable ground and ban out their comfort picks.

Vitality's 82% yearly winrate and top-3 world ranking provide the championship pedigree NAVI lacks at this level. Their 88% Dust2 dominance gives them a nuclear option in the veto. Even with a slight recent dip to 60% last month, Vitality's core remains battle-tested against elite opposition. NAVI's hot streak runs into a brick wall here.
