In the organization’s first professional VALORANT match, Natus Vincere handed a stunning upset to last stage’s EMEA Challengers Finals winner Team Liquid to open the Stage Three Challengers Playoffs today. Na’Vi signed the No Pressure roster from the CIS region after the players qualified for Playoffs back in July and now put themselves in a promising position to reach Masters Three Berlin.
Liquid looked poised to spoil the debut early by jumping out to a massive lead on Na’Vi’s map pick of Icebox. Na’Vi were only able to successfully plant the spike less than a handful of times in their opening attack side while soulcas and ScreaM led a dominating defensive half for Liquid. But Na’Vi answered back with an even more devastating defensive showing. Of the seven spike plants that Liquid achieved in the second half, Na’Vi successfully defused all of them and only surrendered one attacking round to Liquid. After trailing 9-3 at halftime, Na’Vi fought back to reclaim their map pick 13-10.
