Natus Vincere earned 85 VRS points for their victory over G2 Esports at ESL Pro League Season 24

Yesterday, Natus Vincere defeated G2 Esports in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 24 and returned to the invite zone for the PGL Singapore Major 2026.

The team earned 85 points and jumped 13 spots in the global VRS rankings. This sharp rise for the “Born to Win” team is due to a feature of Valve’s ranking system—a portion of the points depends on the team’s last 10 wins, with the weight of each win decreasing over time. Yesterday, Natus Vincere replaced the result of their match against Passion UA at IEM Atlanta 2026, which had only counted for 22% of their total. If the team continues to win in its upcoming matches, it will once again earn VRS points in the “LAN wins” category and secure its spot in the upcoming Major.

Today, analyst Finn “Mischief” Farrer updated his forecast for the European teams’ race to qualify for the PGL Singapore Major 2026—thanks to their victory over G2 Esports and their rivals’ results, Natus Vincere’s chances of receiving an invite have risen from 51.5% to 67.2%.
