Recent form

Team Heretics: L L L W L - 1 win from their last 5 matches.

Heretics arrive with a 3-7 game record in the LEC Spring Split so far - one of the worst records in the league. Their mid-split substitution bringing in Way to replace Stend has not yet stabilised their system. Tracyn, Sheo, Serin, Ice, and Way enter Week 3 needing a response after consecutive series losses have pushed them toward the bottom of the standings.

Natus Vincere: W W L W W - 4 wins from their last 5 matches.

NaVi arrive with a 75% win rate in 2026 - the strongest win rate of either team in this matchup. Maynter, Rhilech, Poby, SamD, and Parus enter Week 3 with momentum from their strong opening weeks. Rhilech's MVP performance in Week 1 established him as one of the most impactful junglers in the LEC Spring Split. NaVi's aggressive playstyle fuelled by Poby's mid-lane control gives them structural advantages across all phases of the game.

Head-to-head

NaVi lead Heretics 2-0 in 2026 meetings. The comprehensive head-to-head record gives NaVi both the psychological edge and the data advantage entering this Bo3 series.

AI prediction

EsportScanner free AI esports predictions give NaVi a 64% win probability. The projection is based on their 2-0 head-to-head lead, 75% 2026 win rate, and Heretics' 3-7 game record in the Spring Split. Heretics' mid-split support substitution is the variable the AI identifies as most capable of introducing unexpected tactical variance in the series.

What to watch

Poby vs Serin - the mid lane battle - NaVi's Poby has been their most consistent performer across the opening weeks - his control-oriented mid lane style creating the map pressure that Rhilech converts into early objective advantages. Heretics' system revolves around Serin, their most experienced individual. Whichever mid laner establishes the first lane priority advantage in Game 1 will determine which team controls the macro tempo of the entire Bo3.

Heretics' roster stability after the mid-split change - Heretics' substitution of Way for Stend mid-split creates genuine tactical uncertainty. New support and mid lane combinations require time to develop communication patterns and in-game reads. Whether Way has integrated into Heretics' system well enough to provide competitive bot lane synergy against NaVi's established unit is the individual question that determines if this series is competitive or one-sided.
