Natus Vincere will be the first number one in the BLAST groups in the HLTV rankings. After two years, The organization regained its position when s1mple played for the Born to Win. B1ad3 proved that he can play without stars and be successful with any line-up. But how long will Natus Vincere's dominance on the world stage last?

At the Esports World Cup 2024, AleksiB's team took first place, eliminating FaZe, MOUZ, and G2 Esports. In Riyadh, b1t won the MVP award, with Valeri performing stellar. But the essence of Natus Vincere hasn't changed - the team is driven by collective effort, with great individual play as a bonus. The coach admits that the team performs better after extended boot camps, and that it's harder to perform over the distance of tournaments. BLAST Premier: Fall Groups 2024 follows immediately after Esports World Cup 2024, so B1ad3's pool of ideas will have shrunk a little, making it easier for their opponents to prepare for Natus Vincere.

In any case, Born to Win will be the favorites in this match. The history of games with BIG shows that the Germans caused Natus Vincere many problems but failed to win. Groups' BLAST - an excellent opportunity to practice against the most vigorous opponents ahead of the IEM Cologne 2024, and NaVi will want to spend more time in practice matches rather than playing official matches and not having time to prepare the developments.

Currently, the German team has made a temporary return to the tier-1 level, a significant development for the team. Participating in the BLAST groups allows them to occasionally appear in big matches and earn HLTV points. It's worth noting that the Germans have a strong track record in the groups, often performing well.

BIG was one step away from reaching the BLAST Season Finals in the last three such tournaments. Last time, in January, tabseN and company reached the desiderider, where they lost the coveted place to Astralis. At that tournament, BIG defeated the star-studded line-up of Cloud9 and Heroic, and Virtus.pro prevented the Germans from topping the group. Six months have passed since then, and the balance of power in CS2 has changed, as has the composition of the German organization. Now tabseN's teammates are syrsoN, JDC, Krimbo, and rigoN. This BIG line-up looks much more experienced and exciting in terms of positions. SyrsoN was one of the best snipers during the coronavirus era and is in the top 20 of 2020, JDC has put up some very impressive stats since joining BIG, rigoN has played in the majors many times and Krimbo is considered the best young German player right now. The team is led by tabseN - the captain is a good shot and keeps the team disciplined.
The last time the team had a chance was at IEM Dallas 2024, where they came close to making the playoffs. There was hope that BIG had rebuilt and found the perfect roster to return to a full-fledged tier-1 level, but in the following tournaments, the organization fell in battles against teams from the second thirty of the HLTV. They may try to win some series here but do not expect BIG to win Group D.

Natus Vincere is the favorite, but BIG will chew up rounds even in death agony. In Copenhagen, the format will be BO3, and the Germans can even get a map.
