Udknud: “Natus Vincere risks missing the Major if they lose to MOUZ.”
Analyst Jesper “Udknud” Larsen analyzed Natus Vincere’s current position in the VRS rankings on his personal X page and reflected on the team’s chances of missing the PGL Singapore Major 2026.
Natus Vincere risks missing the Major if they lose to MOUZ. A loss would drop the team to around 25th place in the world rankings by October 5, and for the first time in a long while, they would not receive invites to Tier 1 tournaments. They will need to secure at least two wins each at ESL Pro League Season 24 and PGL Masters Bucharest 2026 to return to the Major invitation zone.
It’s crucial for NAVI to beat MOUZ to avoid pressure in upcoming tournaments.
Earlier, Natus Vincere lost to Aurora Gaming at StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026 with a 0-2 map score (8-13 on Nuke and 7-13 on Mirage). Today, the team will face MOUZ in a do-or-die match to stay in the tournament.
