Natus Vincere Are Holding On
Natus Vincere are 3-4 ahead of their clash with Fnatic, having dropped two of their last three games.
Last week, they had to admit defeat to Movistar KOI (0-2), and then bounced back with a 2-0 sweep of Team Heretics. However, their momentum didn’t last long, as Natus Vincere lost to Team Vitality on Friday, 1-2.
NaVi have been somewhat mediocre this season. They belong in the “mid-tier” bracket of teams: a squad that can handle bottom-tier teams, yet lacks that little something to deal with LEC’s elite. Even Vitality proved too much to handle, granted the Bees have been ramping up of late.
There’s nothing special about Natus Vincere. They’re good, but not great.

Fnatic Are Ramping Up
Fnatic are the most unpredictable and volatile team of LEC Summer. They kicked off the spring with three defeats against Movistar KOI, Team Heretics, and Karmine Corp. But when all seemed lost, Fnatic found a new gear.
Last week, Fnatic crushed SK Gaming and G2 Esports, and to that, they’ve added a 2-0 sweep of Shifters on Saturday. Admittedly, two of the three wins came against weaker teams, but it is hard to look past Fnatic’s dominant performance against G2.
Whether it was a fluke is up for debate. But one thing is for certain – Fnatic have shown they have a high ceiling and that, on a good day, they can beat anyone.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 22 | LEC 2026 Summer | Shifters | 2-0 (W) |
| August 16 | LEC 2026 Summer | G2 Esports | 2-0 (W) |
| August 15 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 2-0 (W) |
| August 9 | LEC 2026 Summer | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
| August 7 | LEC 2026 Summer | Team Heretics | 1-2 (L) |

Verdict
Natus Vincere and Fnatic can be viewed as mid-table teams, but that depends on how much weight we can put on Fnatic’s more recent showings.
Despite the slow and uninspiring start to the split, Fnatic ramped up of late, and not only handled SK Gaming and Shifters, but also G2 Esports.
If Fnatic can crush G2, they should be more than capable of beating most LEC teams. And even though there’s always danger that Fnatic will turn back into a pumpkin on Monday, their ceiling alone is a good enough reason to take their side.
