Natus Vincere vs G2 Esports Tips – G2 Esports Are Expected to Shine in LEC Summer
G2 Esports are set to face Natus Vincere on August 10 in the third week of the LEC 2026 Summer split. While G2 are the clear favorites as defending champions and the league's top team, they've shown unconvincing moments during the regular season. Natus Vincere, meanwhile, look like a mid-table team with issues in closing games, making an upset win unlikely. Given G2's historical head-to-head advantage and overall form, the recommendation is to back G2 for the win.

G2 are firm favourites to win on Monday, as the league’s strongest team and defending LEC champions. They have, however, not looked as dominant as many would expect of G2 so far this split, even showing some cracks against weaker opponents.
This comes as no surprise, as G2 tend to play slower during the regular season, but the real question is whether Natus Vincere have the tools to punish G2 for it.
- Natus Vincere have a tough task ahead

Natus Vincere Have More to Prove
Natus Vincere started the summer split with a 2-1 record, having beaten Shifters and SK Gaming, but lost to Karmine Corp in their first match of LEC Summer on August 1.
So far, NaVi have lost to one of the league’s top teams and handled two of the weakest. While this is a rather small sample size of games, it suggests that NaVi will again be a mid-table squad that will beat lower-tier teams but never catch up to the elite.
It is, however, worth noting that Natus Vincere showed some fight against Karmine Corp and arguably should’ve picked up at least one map. On both, however, they produced a major throw, proving they still have issues with closing out games.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 9 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 2-1 (W) |
| August 3 | LEC 2026 Summer | Shifters | 2-0 (W) |
| August 1 | LEC 2026 Summer | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
| May 30 | LEC 2026 Spring | Karmine Corp | 1-3 (L) |
| May 16 | EWC 2026 EMEA Qualifier | Movistar KOI | 0-2 (L) |

G2 Esports Are In Good Form
G2 Esports are 3-1 ahead of their clash with Natus Vincere. They ended Week1 with wins against Movistar KOI and Team Vitality and one loss against Karmine Corp.
In the second week of play, G2 Esports added a 2-0 sweep of SK Gaming, which was expected. So far, G2 have not shown anything out of the ordinary and have performed as well as expected.
They have had some iffy moments, but that has become the norm for G2 during the regular season, when they seem like they’re not operating at 100%. Whether that’s a reason enough to doubt G2 and their chances to handle NaVi, however, is up for debate.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 2 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 2-0 (W) |
| July 26 | LEC 2026 Summer | Karmine Corp | 1-2 (L) |
| July 25 | LEC 2026 Summer | Team Vitality | 2-0 (W) |
| July 24 | LEC 2026 Summer | Movistar KOI | 2-1 (W) |
| July 16 | EWC 2026 | Dplus KIA | 0-2 (L) |
G2 Esports Squad & Team News
G2 Esports haven’t made any roster changes.

- Rudy "SkewMond" Semaan – jungle
- Rasmus "Caps" Winther – mid lane
- Steven "Hans Sama" Liv – ADC
- Labros "Labrov" Papoutsaki – support
Verdict
G2 Esports are rarely to be trusted as favourites, especially during the regular season. They’ve even had some close calls against SK; granted, even with that in mind, G2 are hard to question for this match.
That is mainly because Natus Vincere have yet to show anything memorable and appear more like a mid-table team rather than a serious threat for LEC’s top dogs.
Natus Vincere will want to prey on G2’s mistakes to cause an upset on Monday, but given NaVi’s terrible closing rate, that scenario is unlikely.
