Standings
Natus Vincere had a very strong showing throughout the whole tournament. But how exactly did they do it?
Teams were split into 3 groups, A,B and C. Na’Vi were slotted in group C so they had to wait for the 2nd day to showcase what they’ve got planned for the European Finals. They started out their 1st round on Miramar with a 16th position and 3 kills. Then came round 2, where they were completely unstoppable, grabbing a 1st place and taking down 10 enemies on Miramar as well. Then on round 3 they struggled to close out the match, placing 3rd with only 4 kills on Sanhok.
After their break, day 2 continued with round 4 on Erangel, were Na’Vi completely stomped on everyone except Northern Lights Team, placing 2nd and getting 4 eliminations. They then ended the day with a 10th placement and only 3 kills on round 5, and an 8th position with 6 kills on the 6th and final round of the day. By this time, they had a total score of 52 points, currently placing them at 8th overall and Team Liquid sitting at 1st Place. This however was not Na’Vi’s final result as since they were on group C, they still had 1 more day left to play out, and there’s a lot that can happen in 6 rounds of PUBG.
Day 3, the Final day of the PGS European Finals.
On Day 3 it was time for groups B and C to play and show off what they’ve got to try and get a spot at PGS Berlin. Natus Vincere had a very good start to the first round, getting a chicken dinner with 17 eliminations on Miramar. An outstanding scoreline, especially in terms of kills. With this 1st match, Natus Vincere had the highest kill record for the whole tournament, and it was a sign that they had a lot more to offer in the coming matches. They had an unlucky start to round 2, placing 9th with only 4 kills, but then compensated for the loss with another chicken dinner to their name, with 11 kills on Sanhok. By now, they had already gathered the exact amount of points they had finished with on the first day, which was 52. This meant that they had already placed 6 or above to qualify for PGS Berlin. After the break, they continued day 3 with round 4, where they placed 10th with 3 kills on Erangel.
Even though Na’Vi were sure that they qualified, they still gave it their all, to try and get the highest possible points and top the leaderboard with an insane scoreline. On round 5 they were unstoppable with 9 kills, but unfortunately lost the final fight vs Northern Lights Team, placing themselves 2nd and gathering an additional 15 points. On round 6, the final round of the final day, they had a rough start on Erangel, where they placed 8th but had an impressive 7 kills which gave them another 8 points to finish it off.
Natus Vincere had an outstanding overall performance from start to finish. They have shown that they have used their precious practice time to the fullest and that they’re ready for what awaits them at the PUBG Global Series in Berlin. There are still 16 spots open, as the Americas, Japanese, Korean and Chinese qualifiers still have to be played out. Below are the dates for the rest of the qualifiers.
