Recent form

Natus Vincere

NaVi advanced directly to the Semifinals through the group stage upper bracket - sweeping Aurora 2-0 in the Upper Bracket Final with makazze posting a 1.42 rating. They are on a 7-match winning streak entering this Semifinal.

Their 3-month individual ratings - makazze 1.18, b1t 1.09, iM 1.06, w0nderful 1.04, Aleksib 0.88 - reflect a team where 4 of 5 players rate above parity over a sustained competitive period. Their group stage run without dropping to the lower bracket at any point makes them the most structurally complete team in the BLAST Open Rotterdam playoff bracket.

PARIVISION

PARIVISION qualified for the Semifinals by defeating Falcons 2-0 in the Quarterfinals - BELCHONOKK posting a 1.44 rating and 42 kills across both maps. Their 3-month individual ratings - zweih 1.09, Jame 1.07, xiELO 1.00, BELCHONOKK 0.99, nota 0.98 - reflect a team with strong collective balance but no single player rating above 1.10 over the sustained 3-month period.

PARIVISION are listed at approximately 1.95 odds - reflecting their underdog status entering this Semifinal against a NaVi side ranked #5 in the world.

Head-to-head

NaVi lead PARIVISION 3-0 in their last 3 meetings across 2025 and 2026. Their most recent CS2 encounter was January 31, 2026 - NaVi won 2-1 at IEM Kraków 2026. Before that, NaVi won 1-0 at StarLadder Budapest Major on December 4, 2025.

The 3-0 recent record gives NaVi a significant psychological advantage entering this Semifinal. PARIVISION took a map off NaVi during their close 2-1 series at Kraków - demonstrating they can compete at the individual map level against this NaVi lineup. A series win is a different ask.

Key players

iM and makazze - NaVi's carry core

iM's 3-month rating of 1.06 and makazze's 1.18 give NaVi the strongest 2-player individual combination at the top of either lineup in this match. makazze's 1.42 rating in the Aurora Upper Bracket Final was the highest individual performance of the group stage - his peak output in elimination matches makes him the most dangerous player entering the Semifinal bracket.

b1t at 1.09 over 3 months provides the third layer - giving NaVi a collective individual depth that PARIVISION's balanced but lower-ceiling lineup cannot match across the critical rounds that decide maps.

BELCHONOKK and Jame - PARIVISION's winning formula

BELCHONOKK's 1.44 rating against Falcons was the standout individual performance of the Quarterfinal round. His ability to deliver elite output in close maps - winning the individual rounds that decide series - is PARIVISION's primary route to a map win against NaVi.

Jame's 1v2 clutch on Mirage against Falcons reflected his tactical impact beyond his individual rating. As IGL, his read of NaVi's tactical patterns across a full Bo3 series will be as important as BELCHONOKK's individual output in determining whether PARIVISION can take at least one map.

AI prediction

EsportScanner AI gives NaVi a 69% win probability. The projection is based on their 3-0 recent head-to-head record over PARIVISION, 7-match winning streak, 4-player individual rating advantage over PARIVISION's 3-month baseline, and their group stage run without dropping to the lower bracket.

PARIVISION's BELCHONOKK at 0.99 over 3 months - against his 1.44 Quarterfinal peak - and their map-level competitiveness at IEM Kraków are the variables the AI identifies as capable of making this series closer than the probability suggests.

What to watch

BELCHONOKK's peak vs his 3-month baseline

BELCHONOKK's 3-month rating of 0.99 and his 1.44 Quarterfinal rating represent the widest individual performance gap of any player entering the Semifinals. In his best form - as demonstrated against Falcons - he is the most dangerous individual in this match. In his average form - reflected by his 3-month baseline - he is the least impactful player in either starting lineup.

Which version of BELCHONOKK shows up on Map 1 will set the pace for the entire series.

Can PARIVISION take a map off NaVi?

PARIVISION took a map off NaVi at IEM Kraków in January 2026 - the only team to do so in their last 3 meetings. In a Bo3 Semifinal where one map win gives PARIVISION the series lead and completely changes the psychological dynamic, their ability to replicate that Kraków map performance is the single most important tactical question of this match.

If PARIVISION take Map 1, this Semifinal becomes genuinely open regardless of NaVi's 7-match winning streak.
