Meanwhile, NaVi will start their playoff campaign in the lower bracket after placing fifth in the regular season with the same 5-4 record, though with a marginally worse map difference.
Despite technically placing lower in the regular season, NaVi should feel confident about their chances of beating GIANTX on Friday, having done so three times before this season, most recently at the end of August.
GIANTX are not pushovers, but they have some flaws, namely in the early game, which NaVi can take advantage of once again.

Natus Vincere Are Consistent
Natus Vincere finished LEC Summer regular season in fifth place, with a 5-4 record.
They concluded the regular season with a 3-3 run, having lost to G2 Esports, Movistar KOI, and Team Vitality, while beating Team Heretics, Fnatic, and GIANTX, the latter in the final week of play. Results like that indicate that NaVi are your proper gatekeeper team, who will handle anyone but the league’s top dogs.
While Natus Vincere’s results haven’t been excellent, they have been a steady and consistent team.

GIANTX Have Weaknesses
GIANTX ended the regular season in fourth place, with a 5-4 record, which was enough to secure a direct bye into the upper bracket of the playoffs. There, GIANTX suffered a 1-3 loss against Karmine Corp, which was expected.
Much like Natus Vincere, GIANTX have been a mid-table team this split, having done well against weaker opponents, but struggled against the top squads. They have, however, been more volatile, having picked up some big scalps, namely against G2 Esports and Movistar KOI, but also produced some iffy games, with defeats to SK Gaming and a narrow 2-1 victory against Shifters.
Despite proving that they can punch up, GIANTX have been anything but consistent, and they continue to display a worrying trend of poor performances in the early game.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 5 | LEC 2026 Summer | Karmine Corp | 1-3 (L) |
| August 30 | LEC 2026 Summer | Fnatic | 2-1 (W) |

Verdict
Results-wise, Natus Vincere and GIANTX have produced the same. Both ended the regular season with a 5-4 record, and they were very close in map difference.
However, Natus Vincere have been more stable and consistent than GIANTX and won the head-to-head just two weeks ago. GIANTX can punch up, but they can have their moments where they collapse.
Qualitatively, I would rank NaVi slightly higher. And considering they’ve been more reliable and consistent, they come off as an easy pick for this contest.
