Korb3n assesses NAVI's chances of winning the Riyadh Masters 2025

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov said that although Natus Vincere is not among the clear favorites for the upcoming Riyadh Masters 2025 (Esports World Cup) Dota 2 tournament, it could still surprise fans with a decent result if the team avoids serious strategic mistakes.

The Team Spirit manager made this statement on Twitch.

"NAVI? Why not? NAVI is a dark horse. If they don't make any serious mistakes in macro, then of course they have a good chance. They have good players. Gotthejuice is in some kind of unreal prime. From what I see of how he plays in NAVI, this is his best stretch. They have strong players. Both Niku and Pma. They may not be so strong with the supports, but NAVI Junior is absolutely fine with the cores. So they can do it, they can. Or maybe not, they might fly away without a chance. They might come up with ideas, but the ideas might not work, and that's it.

Dmitry “Korb3n” Belov believes that Natus Vincere's core players are in very good shape, despite their not-so-strong supports. Although the Team Spirit manager rates NAVI's chances at the Riyadh Masters 2025 quite highly, he is still not sure that the team's strategies will work.

It is worth noting that since the start of the current season, NAVI Junior players have been given the status of Natus Vincere's main roster.

Earlier, Roman “RAMZES666” Kushnarev named the main favorites and underdogs of the Riyadh Masters 2025 tournament. The esports player believes that NAVI may also surprise fans with an unexpected result.
