Illidan strongly criticized the preparation quality of the current Natus Vincere lineup

Ilya "Illidan" Pivtsev considers the current NaVi lineup to be very weak and advises against betting on them.

Such opinions were shared by the Team Spirit esports organization's streamer during his personal Twitch broadcast.

"I watched them play today. This is not a strong team. Not even close. Their team fights are completely random. They have no understanding of when they need to jump in together. Natus Vincere, for me, is a team you shouldn't bet on. Against them – please, but not on them at all."

Natus Vincere dropped to the lower bracket of the DreamLeague Season 22 qualification after losing to Team Spirit and subsequently lost their spot to the Klim Sani4 lineup. In the Eastern Europe qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2024, Natus Vincere faced the same opponents but couldn't recover.

Recall that earlier, Azure Ray fell to the lower bracket of the Chinese qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2024 after losing to the region's underdogs.
