NAVI vs Gentle Mates Odds and Predictions – May 16th

Great chance to hit the ground running

Fuck man no Toronto for us what an abysmal performance by me individually. Sorry to the fans and sorry to my daughter and girl who won’t be watching me live just yet 🥹

This split we had plenty of growth and I’m proud of the boys. We will become a much more solid team split 2.

NAVI is currently experiencing a surge in performance and is favored to win this match. Their overall win percentage is 53%, though it has dipped to 45% in recent weeks. In their latest matches, they faced defeats against strong teams such as Team Liquid and Team Heretics, but also achieved victories against Karmine Corp and Team Vitality. Their performance in the VCT 2025 EMEA Stage 1, where they placed in the middle of the standings, suggests that they are improving and beginning to find their rhythm.

In terms of head-to-head matchups, NAVI has a 2-1 win against Gentle Mates, marking their only encounter so far and giving NAVI a perfect win rate. While historical data is limited, it is evident that NAVI (odds to win 1.58) has maintained a more consistent roster and organizational stability. Ultimately we expect to see a closer series than anticipated, however the Ukrainian organization is the favorite amongst the community.

Gentle Mates have encountered a difficult phase, as their recent performance indicates a struggle for consistent success. Their overall win rate is 53%, but it has dropped to 29% in the latest matches, resulting in a four match losing streak. The past month has been particularly challenging, with no wins to show. Their latest games include losses to equally inconsistent squads in KOI and BBL Esports, making Gentle Mates the worst of the bunch. Their journey in the VCT 2025 EMEA Stage 1 ended with a finish in 11-12th place, highlighting the need for improvement as they gear up for this crucial qualifier.

Given their historical and current performances, analysts are inclined to predict a swift 0-2 outcome against them. However, the French organization (odds to win 2.20) has managed to secure at least one map in most best of three series, leading us to anticipate a final score of 1-2 in the upcoming match.

The Esports World Cup EMEA Qualifier is one of the few non Riot hosted tournaments of the year, which gives struggling squads a chance to perform well. Ultimately NAVI and Gentle Mates will not win VCT events any time soon, meaning this is their only shot to bring a prize pool home.
