G2 vs Natus Vincere prediction — ESL Pro League Season 24

Key factors

• Natus Vincere beat G2 2–0.
• G2 lost Natus Vincere's Cache pick 7–13 and its own Inferno pick 4–13.

Notes

The pre-match analysis recognized that the veto could remove a G2 comfort route, but the resulting series path was worse than the pick allowed for: G2 could not convert even its own pick. One match does not yet establish a repeated weakness.

Momentum

G2 beat Natus Vincere in their recent meeting and subsequently beat FURIA, but lost the FISSURE final to Legacy. Natus Vincere's latest listed BO3s include losses to MOUZ and Aurora.

LAN form

G2's recent results and current-lineup Mirage and Inferno record offer a narrow edge, not a decisive series advantage.

Psychology

Swiss opener; prior series results inform form, not an assumed psychological advantage.

Key risks

• Natus Vincere can challenge on Ancient, while the unconfirmed veto could remove a G2 comfort route.
• G2's 0–3 final loss to Legacy limits confidence.
