Today, the Natus Vincere squad begins its journey in the LEC 2026 Summer split — the final tournament of the League of Legends EMEA Championship season, held in Berlin. The team's main objective is to secure one of the three available slots for the ultimate world championship, Worlds 2026.
The first opponent for the "Born to Win" will be the French organization Karmine Corp. The Best of 3 match is scheduled to start at 20:15 EEST. Unlike NAVI, for whom this is their debut game of the tournament, their rival has already played three matches and currently tops the standings with three victories.
Special attention from Ukrainian fans is drawn to the NAVI roster, as the team's lineup features the Ukrainian player Maynter.
The opponents know each other well: it was exactly against Karmine Corp that NAVI played their previous official match during the Spring Split playoffs, where they suffered a 1:3 defeat.
The regular season will run until August 30, with 10 teams competing in a Single Round-Robin format using Fearless Draft. The top 6 teams will advance to the playoff stage, which will ultimately determine who secures the tickets to Worlds 2026.
