Natus Vincere vs PCIFIC Esports Betting Predictions
Natus Vincere and PCIFIC Esports will face off on Thursday, July 30, in the third week of VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 EMEA Stage 2, in what is expected to be a one-sided affair in favour of NaVi.
This is a clash between two struggling teams, with a combined record of 1-6. Natus Vincere have gone 1-3 in this stage, while PCIFIC Esports have yet to taste victory.
Both teams have had their moments over the first two weeks, but neither have shown anything exciting, making it very hard to pick out a winner. Natus Vincere have a higher ceiling and should be able to handle the business, but the situation they’re in and their form are far from perfect.
- PCIFIC chase first win of the split
- Natus Vincere have nothing more to gain
- A scrappy game is not unlikely

Natus Vincere Are Struggling
Natus Vincere have been struggling this stage, going 1-3 over the first two weeks of play. They started VCT EMEA Stage 2 strong, with a 2-0 sweep of FUT Esports, but NaVi have since looked much worse, dropping games against Team Vitality, Gentle Mates, and BBL Esports.
Over that stretch, Natus Vincere have picked up maps against Vitality and BBL Esports, which is slightly inspiring. However, with a 1-3 record, Natus Vincere have nowhere to progress, as they’re locked in to finish Group Alpha in the bottom two.
This creates an interesting situation where Natus Vincere could take this match as preparation for the Play-In stage and play their weaker maps, giving PCIFIC Esports a much better chance to walk away with something.

| July 26 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | BBL Esports | 1-2 (L) |
| July 23 | VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 | Gentle Mates | 0-2 (L) |

PCIFIC Esports Look Shaky
PCIFIC Esports are in the conversation of the worst team in VCT EMEA, and their 0-3 run so far does not help their cause. So far this stage, PCIFIC have lost against Gentle Mates, FUT Esports, and Team Vitality; however, on a more positive note, they’ve picked up a map against FUTR and Gentle Mates.
The match against Vitality was not as competitive, ending in 6-13 on Haven and 7-13 on Sunset. However, PCIFIC came close to beating FUT Esports, and they looked solid on Split against Gentle Mates.
It is hard to find many positives about PCIFIC Esports. They might be the worst team in the league, but still have some fight in them.

Verdict
Natus Vincere should win this match, as they are a stronger team. But form-wise, NaVi are in the exact same spot as PCIFIC Esports, having failed to show anything memorable.
With a 1-3 record, NaVi also have nothing to gain by winning this match, so the motivation to perform is questionable. Whether that’s a good enough reason to fade Natus Vincere is up for debate, but it is also fair to say that Natus Vincere are a hard sell with what they’ve shown.
