After the lost match with Liquid sniper Natus Vincere Igor w0nderful Zhdanov promptly wrote in social networks that he was just absent on the third map of the series. There is some truth in this, as the score on the decisive Inferno was very tight (11:13). Igor himself finished this map with the lowest K/D on the team, which hints at the importance of every duel he lost, which could have led to overtime or even a series win.

Blaming the entire team for any particular shortcoming is very difficult, as Natus Vincere even allowed themselves one defeat card during the encounter. The losing streaks can easily be put down to another well-prepared peak Liquid and several decisive duels on Inferno, which the Ukrainian sniper lost to the opponents. It is unlikely that this defeat will seriously affect the morale of the European team, which right now realises that the series with BIG should be an easy walk to the final of the group at the second attempt.

The second defeat of BIG was also a sudden defeat to themselves. At the end of the match, you could see that the players of the German team themselves did not fully believe that such a top team had given them a series that would have resulted in their departure from the tournament. All these theses should be summarised: the victory over Virtus.pro is mostly the merit of the Russians themselves, rather than the Germans.

But BIG still doesn't have enough resources to defeat the more stable Natus Vincere. Sports anger, which is full of the Born to win and specifically w0nderful after the defeat from Liquid, even more plays into the hands of the European team. It is unlikely that the Germans will be able to prepare for Natus Vincere in 24 hours in such a way that the upcoming series will be somehow different from the starting match of Group D, which ended in defeat.

We won't expect any surprises from this match, considering that neither team showed any surprises during the group stage. From the series we can expect a repeat of the opening game, which ended with the defeat of BIG on two maps. The only thing the German team's players can excel in is individual duels against Natus Vincere's most statistically unstable players.
