kassad commented on the decline of the Natus Vincere CS2 roster this season
Analyst Alexander “kassad” Trifunović criticized Natus Vincere’s decision to skip BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 on his personal X page and highlighted the reasons behind the team’s slump.
NAVI has developed a habit of starting seasons slowly.
Whoever made the decision to skip BLAST Bounty Summer 2026 and start training later bears direct responsibility for at least part of the team’s current slump and poor results.
Of course, the players, who have been performing at a mediocre level, are also to blame.
Natus Vincere lost to MOUZ 1–2 in the first round of the lower bracket at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026. The team was eliminated from the tournament in 7th–8th place, earning $10,000 in prize money. Currently, the “Born to Win” squad is ranked 16th in the VRS world rankings.
