Natus Vincere

Despite skepticism, Natus Vincere won the CS2 major title, but their results subsequently declined. At the ESL Pro League Season 19 and Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024 tournaments, the team only managed to come in 9th-12th, reinforcing the idea that they were in a bit of a crisis. Before the summer break, the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024 ended with NaVi losing to Team Spirit. Many doubted that captain Aleksib would be able to get the team back on top. However, the Finnish leader showed he could bring the team back with a win at the Riyadh tournament, which boosted the team.

As the seasons changed from summer to autumn, NaVi started to show they were the team to beat on the world stage. They won the Esports World Cup 2024 and ESL Pro League Season 20 and came second at Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2024 and BLAST Premier. Fall Final 2024. These achievements have made them the top-ranked team in the world, and it's hard to imagine what could stop them other than possible player fatigue, which they've discussed themselves. Although NaVi were tipped as favorites for BLAST Premier: World Final 2024, they were knocked out in the first round after losing to Astralis on the opening day and then being beaten by FaZe.

Fnatic

Fnatic is gearing up for their first appearance at a major after some lineup changes. Tim 'nawwk' Eunasson is stepping in for Aurélien 'afro' Drapier. Fnatic will be the 34th-ranked team at the RMR tournament in Shanghai, but they've got a good chance of success despite a tricky start with a new player. They haven't had much luck in their recent online matches, losing 0-2 against Into the Breach, Nemiga Gaming, The Mongolz and Metizport. This has given them a bit of a boost to improve their performance at the upcoming event.

The current roster includes seasoned pro KRIMZ, as well as bodyy, matys, blameF, and recently joined nawwk and keit. They'll all be looking to prove they can compete at this level and do better than they have done so far to qualify for the year's main tournament.
