Team Vitality Are Looking Solid
Team Vitality entered PGL Masters Bucharest with a big question mark above their heads, as they are without their in-game leader, apEX. While a major handicap, Team Vitality haven’t been playing poorly and have managed a solid 2-1 record so far.
The Bees kicked off the tournament with a 2-0 sweep of 9z Team, to which they added another convincing 2-0 victory against The MongolZ. They, however, could not make it past the surging FUT Esports, who bested Vitality 2-1 on Monday, with 9-13 on Mirage, 13-9 on Dust II, and 13-10 on Anubis.
Losing to FUT does not look great, and is far below the expectations for a core which has won the last two big events. However, Vitality have looked solid in the first two matches of the tournament, and should be viewed as serious candidates to reach the playoffs and make a deep run.

Natus Vincere Are Ramping Up
Natus Vincere have been largely underwhelming this season, struggling to leave a lasting mark in any big event. This put them in an unenviable position: they needed a deep run in Romania to have a chance to qualify for the PGL Singapore Major.
The urgency inspired better showings, as NaVi have managed a 2-1 record three rounds deep. They bested G2 Esports (2-0) in the first round of play, and delivered against FURIA, securing another 2-0 victory.
Their run, however, came to a stop on Monday, when Natus Vincere had to admit defeat to BetBoom Team with 10-13 on Dust II and 9-13 on Nuke. It wasn't the most inspiring performance, but BB Team have been in excellent form, so Natus Vincere deserve some slack.

Verdict
Team Vitality have beaten Natus Vincere four times before this year, so they will be expected to do it again. However, Vitality are now without their in-game leader, and Natus Vincere have been showing better form.
NaVi still have a lot to prove before I’ll believe they can consistently challenge tier-1 teams. But given their recent improvement, it is not crazy to think that they can force a closer game, especially if they get to play on Anubis or Nuke, where they hold a higher win rate.
