Natus Vincere vs Xtreme Gaming Prediction: NaVi Will Fight the Favorite

Prediction for the Clavision: Snow Ruyi match, which will take place on August 1st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the teams' conditions! Several betting options are available.

Natus Vincere

Natus Vincere was riding high with their performance in China during the first two days of the group stage. Fans were eagerly anticipating their squad's potential victory in Group A, where they faced off against formidable opponents like Team Spirit, LGD Gaming, and Virtus.pro. The last two teams, NaVi, were simply outplayed. They had a thrilling match with the reigning TI champions, but unfortunately fell short. However, the yellow-blacks' performance was far from a disappointment. Yet, on the final day of the group stage, they suffered an unexpected defeat at the hands of Team Zero. 

It's not often we see NaVi at major tournaments because the team struggles to win Eastern European qualification battles. The only event the Ukrainian team took part in this season was DreamLeague Season 23, but the only international event didn't get much recognition.

The Chinese tournament is a nice change of pace for the organization, whose Dota squad hasn't had much success on the international stage for many years. They didn't do so well in the Elite League, but they got an invitation to China. Not everyone was able to make it. The team will play with a new offlaner, who was taken from the roster of their youth team and is already showing an excellent level of play.

Xtreme Gaming

Ame and Co. are currently navigating some tough challenges at their home tournament. Yes, the Extremes defeated their fellow Chinese teams G2.iG and Azure Ray, but they also faced a setback against Nigma Galaxy, who played with replacements. It's important to note that all the games were played on three maps, which underscores the difficulty the Chinese team is facing in securing confident and swift victories. This narrative of struggle and resilience is sure to resonate with the audience.

Xtreme Gaming is a team that's brimming with potential in the current season, but the Riyadh Masters didn't quite unfold as the Chinese team had hoped. The team is renowned for their aggressive playstyle and the standout individual performances of their roster members. The team's midfield player, Xm, is a pivotal figure. His ability to control the line and apply pressure on the opposition is truly impressive. Similarly, their Carry player Ame is celebrated for his knack for farming and making crucial plays in the game. 

After winning Games of the Future 2024 (1st place), DreamLeague Season 22 (3rd place), and Elite League (1st place), Ame and Co. were feeling pretty relaxed. Unfortunately, the Chinese squad didn't do so well at ESL One Birmingham 2024, but at PGL Wallachia, we saw the Chinese squad back to their best. They lost to Team Spirit in the final, but this was the most colorful match of the season and another top-3 finish for Xtreme Gaming.

Expert Betting Tips

Bookmakers think the Chinese team is the one to beat, but NaVi has already shown it can pull off an upset at this tournament. It's definitely one to watch.
