Both teams are a bit of an enigma, as they’ve both had a rough schedule, both losing to LEC’s elite teams and looking better against other squads.
The eye test, however, shows why NaVi are expected to win, as they’ve looked more stable and polished than Team Heretics, who are still stumbling around, trying to figure out how they want to play.
Heretics might be stronger than what they’ve shown so far. But they have to produce something in the arena before anyone can trust them.
- Team Heretics are somewhat unproven
- Natus Vincere are playing decently well
- NaVi should be favoured

Natus Vincere Are Holding On
Natus Vincere enter the fourth week of LEC 2026 Summer with a 2-2 record, which is not a bad spot to be in. They’ve lost to Karmine Corp and G2 Esports so far, but handled SK Gaming (2-1) and Shifters.
Natus Vincere have essentially lost against two of the league’s strongest teams and bested two of LEC’s weakest squads. With that set of results, it is hard to make any conclusions on where NaVi stand. However, the eye test proves that they’re a competitive mid-table team.
With no roster changes, Natus Vincere have also kept some continuity, which is always a plus.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 10 | LEC 2026 Summer | G2 Esports | 0-2 (L) |
| August 8 | LEC 2026 Summer | SK Gaming | 2-1 (W) |
| August 3 | LEC 2026 Summer | Shifters | 2-0 (W) |

Team Heretics Are Figuring Themselves Out
Team Heretics are 1-3 this split, which is not very inspiring. They have, so far, lost against Team Vitality (0-2), Karmine Corp (0-2), and G2 Esports (0-2), but they defeated Fnatic last week, 2-1.
The match against Fnatic was a bit of a back-and-forth. Even though Fnatic were in a commanding position on the third map, Team Heretics outmanoeuvred them in the mid-late game, took advantage of one mistake and closed it out.
In the following match, Team Heretics lost to G2 Esports, and as expected, lost.
Team Heretics are hard to rank. They’re 1-3, but the three defeats came against very strong teams, so even though they looked bad, Heretics deserve some slack as they had a tough schedule.
As it appears, Heretics are still figuring themselves out. They have potential to be decent, but are not quite there yet.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 9 | LEC 2026 Summer | G2 Esports | 0-2 (L) |
| August 7 | LEC 2026 Summer | Fnatic | 2-1 (W) |
| August 3 | LEC 2026 Summer | Karmine Corp | 0-2 (L) |
| July 31 | LEC 2026 Summer | Team Vitality | 0-2 (L) |
| May 3 | LEC 2026 Spring | Shifters | 0-2 (L) |
Team Heretics Squad & Team News
No roster changes for Team Heretics.

- Han "Way" Gil – support
Verdict
This is a match between two mid-table teams – depending on where you would rank Team Heretics. But it is fair to say that NaVi are in a better spot, as they’ve looked more composed and stable than Heretics, who are not quite there yet.
Qualitatively, Natus Vincere are slightly ahead of Heretics, and they’ve shown better performances. Two solid reasons to take their side in this contest.
