Natus Vincere and Team Liquid: Who will win the Group A tie in the VCT Stage 1 EMEA Challengers?
Natus Vincere had a great start in the VCT Stage 1 EMEA Challengers with a comprehensive win against LDN UTD. Meanwhile, Team Liquid has already tasted its first defeat against Gambit Esports in the first week.
Predictions
Judging by its past performances and experience, Team Liquid is way ahead of its CIS opposition. The European side has been one of the best teams in Europe in 2021. Though it had a poor start in 2022, Team Liquid has the potential to turn the table any day.
With the brothers' duo of Adil "ScreaM" and Nabil "Nivera" in the team, the European side is ready to change its bad patch tonight.
However, NAVI has impressed everyone with its performances in recent times. With players like Yaroslav "Jady" and Kirill "Cloud" on the team, NAVI can shut down any opposition in the EMEA Challengers.
Head-to-head
NAVI and Team Liquid have faced each other once in the past and NAVI got the better of its European opposition at the time.
Recent Results
NAVI has won all of itd last five games in all competitions whereas Team Liquid has won just thrice.
