Korb3n on NAVI at Riyadh Masters 2025: "They can go far or get eliminated"

Team Spirit manager Dmitry Korb3n Belov shared his opinion on Natus Vincere’s form ahead of Riyadh Masters 2025, calling the Ukrainian team potentially dangerous but unstable.

According to him, NAVI’s roster features strong individual players, especially in the core roles, but much will depend on how the team performs in the macro game:

NAVI is a dark horse. If they don’t make serious mistakes in macro, they have chances to succeed. The players are strong - one of the cores is currently in the best form I’ve ever seen. Niku and pma perform steadily. There might be some questions about the supports. But if their ideas don’t work out, they can just get eliminated without a chance. Everything will be decided quickly here.

Recall that the main Natus Vincere roster was disbanded on June 1, so at Riyadh Masters 2025 the organization will compete with an updated lineup built on NAVI Junior, who has already successfully qualified for Riyadh Masters 2025 and The International 2025.

Riyadh Masters 2025 will take place from 08.07.2025 to 19.07.2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Sixteen teams will compete for a prize pool of $3,000,000.
