Natus Vincere Dota 2 support Tamir "daze" Tokpanov summarized the team's performance in an interview during PGL Wallachia Season 9. According to him, the roster resolved the key issues of the previous season and regained confidence in their play.
According to daze, the loss to LGD Gaming in the upper bracket did not break the team, but instead gave them more confidence before playing in the lower bracket. The player specifically highlighted coach Cy-'s contribution to the victory over Xtreme Gaming, as his solid draft preparation allowed the squad to comfortably execute their own strategies. Specifically, XG's highly confident 16th-pick Phantom Lancer did not work out — the expected lane pressure from the Dazzle and PL combo was neutralized thanks to high-quality laning and Niku's solo kill on Xm in the mid lane.
Reflecting on the results, daze noted that after a disappointing past season where NAVI missed The International and the Esports World Cup, the squad drew conclusions, fixed most of their mistakes, and felt confident in their gameplay.
Ultimately, after dropping to the lower bracket, "Born to Win" made a full run through it without losing a single series and reached the PGL Wallachia Season 9 grand final, where they fell to Team Yandex with a score of 0:3.
