Natus Vincere vs North

Battle of the Tier 1 titans. The map played - TRAIN!

Na'Vi ranked #10 from Ukraine clashes against North ranked #13 from Denmark in the ESL Pro League Season 7 Europe. 18 teams are fighting for a prize pool that will be announced soon.

Na'Vi (Natus Vincere) is 5th in the group with four matches played, three wins and one lost game.

North is 13th on the ladder with zero games played.

-------Since North hasn't played any games in the league, it is hard to predict the score here, their ambitions regarding this league and the playstyle. On the other hand, Na'Vi have won against FaZe, and that's why they can enter this match more relaxed than North.

Na'Vi has won 12 out of last 20 games. They have a win ratio of 60% and an average opponent rank of #42,5.

North has won eight out of last 20 games. They have a win ratio of 40% and average opponent rank of #67,55.

-------Na'Vi has a better score in the previous 20 games, but since this is a Bo1 match, anything can happen.

-------TIP: Kjaerbye replaced k0nfig just ~10 days ago, so the North squad has a fresh player.

The map these two teams are playing is TRAIN, a terrible map for the Terrorist side, so the team who manages 6+ rounds on T side will be in good position.

Na'Vi stats on Train are 89/3/52 with 61,8% win rate.

North stats on Train are amazingly low with 7/0/7 and 50% win rate.

Na'Vi stats for last three Train maps played: They lost the game against Gambit 14-16, and against FaZe 4-16 but they won against Space Soldiers 16-8.

North stats for last three Train maps played: They lost against Heroic 11-16 and AGO 14-16 and again lost versus Heroic 14-16.

Pistol performance goes to North with a slight advantage of 51,4% against Na'Vi who has 51,0%.

My bet here is that Na'Vi can take the win. They have better stats on this map, and they played insanely good against FaZe. As i was looking at some heat maps and most frags from North players, i saw that k0nfig was their best player on this map, now they traded him, so that is one more reason why i think Na'Vi can claim this map in their favor.
