Natus Vincere vs Fnatic Predictions


Natus Vincere and Fnatic are set to clash on Wednesday, February 4, in the mid bracket quarterfinals of VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) 2026 EMEA Kickoff.

This is expected to be an entertaining game as two known teams face off for a spot in the semifinals. However, while NaVi have found success in VCT EMEA before, the new-look roster isn't performing as well, and their recent loss to Gentle Mates has raised many concerns.

Fnatic are not at 100% yet, but they have shown signs of improvement in their last two outings. That should inspire confidence that the Black & Orange will deliver and live up to the expectations set on them.

  • Fnatic are looking better with each passing game
  • Natus Vincere are fresh off a bad loss against Gentle Mates
  • Fnatic are rightly viewed as favorites

Natus Vincere Need to Find Stability


Natus Vincere started their VCT 2026 EMEA Kickoff campaign with a 2-0 sweep of Karmine Corp, to which they added a promising 2-1 victory against Team Heretics in the upper bracket quarterfinals.

Despite the strong start, NaVi slipped against Gentle Mates in the semifinals, losing the series with 7-13 on Abyss and 9-13 on Bind.

It was a tough loss and a rough game for Filu, who ended the series with a 0.34 performance rating. That includes 0.25 on Abyss. His teammates did not do much better, namely Ruxic with 0.78 and SociablEE with 0.81, with the two struggling on Abyss with 0.57 and 0.51.

For Natus Vincere to find success, they'll need to get more out of their players, who have proven to be very inconsistent. 

Natus Vincere Squad & Team News


Natus Vincere have not made any new changes to thier roster.

  • Andrei "Shao" Kiprskii
  • Emirhan "hiro" Kat
  • Uğur "Ruxic" Güç
  • Dawid "Filu" Czarnecki
  • Volkan "sociablEE" Yönal

Fnatic Are Warming Up


Fnatic lost their opening match of VCT EMEA Kickoff against BBL Esports in a crushing 0-2 sweep.

Despite the slow start, Fnatic bounced back by beating BBL Esports (2-1) and Team Liquid, who the Black & Orange humiliated with 13-5 on Corrode and 13-9 on Split.

Despite the slow start, Fnatic have looked progressively better, and they recently played an excellent game against Team Liquid.

The main question here is how much better Fnatic can get. While there is no telling how high they will fly, Fnatic have a very stacked roster with a high ceiling, which is hard to underestimate.

No changes for Fnatic.

  • Kajetan "kaajak" Haremski

Verdict

Fnatic enter Wednesday's match as favourites, which is not surprising. While this is a clash between two teams that look strong on paper, Natus Vincere have looked rougher in their recent outings.

Moreover, Fnatic entered the split as one of the top teams, and despite their slow start, Fnatic have shown improvement in their last two outings, suggesting they're finding their stride.

Natus Vincere seem like they could challenge Fnatic, but not in their current form.
