Falcons vs Natus Vincere prediction — ESL Pro League Season 24

Key factors

• Falcons won 2–1: Inferno 13–6, Anubis 15–19, Mirage 13–8.
• Falcons won NAVI's Inferno pick and recovered from an overtime loss on its own Anubis pick to win the decider.

Notes

Falcons (56%) was correct. The exact match page dates this fixture October 6, 2026, while HLTV's results listing groups its completed result under October 7, 2026; the match identity and final score are confirmed. One series does not establish a repeated adaptation trend.

Momentum

Falcons beat TYLOO and Aurora before losing 1–2 to Vitality; NAVI beat G2 and 9z around its own 1–2 Vitality loss.

LAN form

Falcons' stronger recent baseline, star production and Dust2–Inferno possibilities provide an edge, although NAVI has veto routes that narrow it.

Psychology

The winner advances to the playoffs. NAVI's two event wins temper any assumption that its earlier LAN struggles will recur.

Key risks

• NAVI's current-event wins over G2 and 9z are a substantive counterweight to Falcons' baseline edge.
• Falcons lost their latest series after winning its first map; a NAVI-favorable veto could overturn this modest pick.
