Virtus.pro vs Natus Vincere Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the International 2023 match which will take place on August 24. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Virtus.pro is seen as the main favorite for these qualifications. The Bears have one of the most disappointing seasons in the organization's history. The team finished the three regional DPC leagues in fourth place, one step away from the majors, got to the Riyadh Masters 2023 for their previous merits, and did not bring any dividends to the current roster. And in general, VP has no victories this year, even at online tournaments, which is not very pleasing.

Virtus.pro started the qualification data with a confident victory over Matreshka (2:0), where both maps were completed in less than 30 minutes. With Natus Vincere's historically successful games, Yellow-Black has not defeated the Bears since 2020, which is a great indicator.

Natus Vincere has even worse results. Twice, NaVi players dropped to the second division, but the first time, they saved themselves by buying a slot; the second time, they failed to do so. The legendary team spent the summer tour in the second division and won it, but not the victories dreamed of by the organization's bosses and its million audience.

Few believed in Natus Vincere players before the start of this qualification, but their performance against Nemiga Gaming (2:0) impressed everyone. The match against VP will answer the main question: Is this a one-off success for NaVi, or can the team qualify for TI12?

The match with the unreal Virtus.pro vs Natus Vincere is the centerpiece of this qualification and probably the first battle of the two future finalists who will play for the only slot at TI12.
