Command Analysis
Natus Vincere
UkraineNatus Vincere are looking very strong at this championship so far. The team is unbeaten and has won two matches in a row with a score of 2:0. First, the yellow-blacks were able to deal with paiN Gaming, and then proved their superiority over Astralis.
In none of the cases did the "born to win" experience any problems and gave up very few rounds to their opponents. So far, NAVI look like the main contenders for victory, but it is worth considering that they played against opponents below their level.

Based on this, we suggest betting on the handicap.
