Natus Vincere defeated Karmine Corp in their final match at VCT 2026: EMEA Stage 1. The series ended 2–0 (13:9 on Lotus and 13:9 on Breeze).
During the group stage, Natus Vincere secured only two wins in five matches, which prevented them from qualifying for the playoffs. NAVI defeated Team Heretics and KC, but lost to FUT Esports, Team Liquid, and Gentle Mates.
It is worth noting that Natus Vincere played the entire tournament with a substitute. ExiT faced visa issues, so he was initially replaced by Kolosha and later by ComeBack.
As a reminder, FUT finished last at BLAST Rivals S1.
