\n <\/a>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n Prediction for Spirit vs DENDELE \u2014 BLAST Open Porto 2026 <\/a>\n <\/h3>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/article> <\/div>\n<\/div>\nHEAD-TO-HEAD \u2014 SMALL ADVANTAGE FOR NATUS VINCERE<\/strong><\/h2>\nNatus Vincere and M80 have played five maps in head-to-head meetings, and NAVI lead 3:2 in wins. At BLAST Open London 2025, M80 won Inferno 13:11 and Ancient 13:9, while Natus Vincere took Train 13:7. Later, at PGL Astana 2025, NAVI won Mirage 13:7 and Dust2 13:4.<\/p>\n
As a result, the history of the matchup does not look one-sided, although the last two maps went to Natus Vincere. M80 have already proven that they can find weak points in the European roster, but in the new series the difference in the teams\u2019 current status has become much larger.<\/p>\n
CURRENT FORM<\/strong><\/h2>\nNatus Vincere \u2014 unstable results, but a high team level
\nNatus Vincere have recently been alternating wins and losses. The team defeated The MongolZ 2:1 and also beat 3DMAX 13:9, but lost to Legacy 0:2, G2 1:2, and Falcons 1:2. The current stretch cannot be called stable, but NAVI continue to regularly play against opponents of the highest level.<\/p>\n
One of the key players remains b1t, who has a 1.15 rating over the last three months. He shows 0.74 kills per round, 76.9% KAST, and 80.0 ADR. Together with w0nderful, makazze, iM, and Aleksib, he gives Natus Vincere a strong enough foundation to control the series against M80.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260512_Luc-Bouchon_IEM-Atlanta_08717.jpg\")

\nM80 approach BLAST Open Porto after several unsuccessful matches. The team lost to Aurora 0:2 and Ninjas in Pyjamas 0:2, and also lost to G2 on Mirage 11:13. At the same time, before that the American roster defeated Voca, LAG, and WINNERS with a 2:0 score, so the team is still capable of confidently punishing lower-level opponents.<\/p>\n
The best listed individual numbers belong to Lake with a 1.16 rating. He records 0.73 kills per round, has 73.0% KAST, a 1.19 multi-kill rating, and 78.7 ADR. Together with Swisher, JBa, slaxz-, and s1n, he remains the main threat for NAVI, although M80\u2019s overall roster depth looks weaker.<\/p>\n
MAP POOL & VETO<\/strong><\/h2>\nStatistics over the last 3 months (Natus Vincere | M80):<\/p>\n
\n- Cache: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n
- Dust2: 33% | 25%<\/li>\n
- Mirage: 75% | 67%<\/li>\n
- Inferno: 60% | 50%<\/li>\n
- Nuke: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n
- Ancient: 50% | 57%<\/li>\n
- Anubis: \u2014 | \u2014<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Expected veto:<\/p>\n
\n- M80 will logically try to limit Mirage. Natus Vincere have a 75% win rate on this map across four matches, while the American roster shows 67% across six maps. Mirage looks like one of the most comfortable options for NAVI in the current pool.<\/li>\n
- Natus Vincere, in turn, may remove one of the maps where M80 can create the most problems. Ancient looks like one such option: the Americans have a 57% win rate across seven matches against NAVI\u2019s 50%, so the favorite does not necessarily need to leave this map available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Likely maps:<\/p>\n
\n- Mirage looks like the most obvious choice for Natus Vincere. The team has a 75% win rate here against M80\u2019s 67% and has already beaten the American roster on this map 13:7 in a head-to-head match.<\/li>\n
- Ancient or Inferno may become M80\u2019s answer. On Ancient, the Americans have a slight statistical advantage \u2014 57% against 50%, while on Inferno the gap also remains relatively small: 50% for M80 against 60% for NAVI.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
KEY DUELS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- b1t vs Lake \u2014 a matchup between the two most stable listed players on both teams, who can decide the outcome of key rifle rounds.<\/li>\n
- w0nderful vs slaxz- \u2014 an AWP duel for opening frags and control of long distances.<\/li>\n
- makazze vs Swisher \u2014 an aggressive rifle matchup that may affect space control and the tempo of attacks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
