moses on Natus Vincere potentially missing the Major: “I guess it’s time for some changes.”
Commentators Jason “moses” O’Toole on his podcast and Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill on the Talking Counter podcast discussed Natus Vincere’s possible absence from the upcoming Major and speculated about the team’s future.
On Natus Vincere’s possible absence from the Major
moses: If the team fails to qualify for a Major for the first time in its history, then it’s time for roster changes. I think that’s exactly what they need right now.
On the future of Natus Vincere
SPUNJ: Will we be talking about Natus Vincere in 6 or 12 months the same way we’re talking about FaZe Clan now?
moses: I hope not. I believe they’ll find a way to improve. Honestly, if the team has slipped to a lower level, that’s not so bad. The question is whether they’ll be able to climb back up from there. I don’t mind if their results get worse and they have to make roster changes. The main thing is that they’re able to do it.
At the moment, Natus Vincere remains the only team to have participated in all 24 Majors. During that time, the team has won two championships—at the PGL Major Stockholm 2021 and the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024. Meanwhile, former professional players Mikhail “Dosia” Stolyarov and Denis “seized” Kostin previously called for changes to NAVI’s roster following the team’s disappointing performance at the StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026.
