Natus Vincere and Team Liquid will meet in the seventh round of the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League. Arguably, Born to Win has already guaranteed play-offs, while the Liquid have yet to prove themselves against the odds.
However, it is important to note that in terms of play, Natus Vincere look much clearer and more stable, and the team was able to recover from their defeat at the hands of KOI.
Team Liquid, on the other hand, only recently woke up, missing out on a lot of points. But it's unlikely that the team can guarantee 100% success in a game like this. Therefore, here I would lean on Team Natus Vincere to win.
Natus Vincere's form
The second team of the European ranking had a very unsuccessful start to the group stage of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League, as they were already defeated by KOI in the first round.
However, Natus Vincere quickly made amends and got back on the winning track to break into a clean second place in the standings.
In the last round, the Born to Win also managed to get a good victory over Team Vitality, taking advantage of their opponent's mistakes.
The latest results from Natus Vincere:
- A 2-1 victory over Giants Gaming.
- Victory over BBL Esports 2-0.
- Beat Team Heretics 2-1.
- Beat Karmine Corp 2-0.
- Defeated Team Vitality 2-0.
Best Natus Vincere scores:
- Pearl - 100% wins.
- Split - 100% wins.
- Ascent - 86% wins.
- Fracture - 83% wins.
It is worth remembering that Born to Win is not shown on the Haven map.
Team Liquid form
The fourth team in the European ranking had a terrible game at the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo where they lost to Team Secret straight from Long Soppeg.
And at the Long Song of the regular season VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League the Liquid have renewed their troubles, which resulted in two defeats.
On the other hand, Team Liquid are still afloat and claim a place in the play-offs, as they managed to snatch four wins. For now, however, it is very difficult to talk about the team in terms of favourites.
Team Liquid's latest results:
- A 2-1 win over FUT Esports.
- A 2-0 win over Karmine Corp.
- A 0-2 loss to Fnatic.
- Beat Team Heretics 2-0.
- Defeated Giants Gaming 2-1.
Team Liquid's best record:
- Split - 100% wins.
- Ascent - 67% wins.
- Icebox - 75% wins.
- Fracture - 67% wins.
In turn, Team Liquid does not appear on the Pearl map yet.

Forecast for the match Natus Vincere - Team Liquid
It seems to me that Team Liquid has a lack of variety, and on the diatribe the team has a hard time finding their game. In turn, Born to Win demonstrate a cool and measured play. It is clear that you certainly can't compare the guys with Fnatic, but against the "Liquid" team, they seem to be the clear favorite. So in this case I would recommend to bet on Natus Vincere to win.
