IEM Chicago 2018: the first fight
The first round of Group B at IEM Chicago will see NAVI.GG.BET –
eUnited duel. The match will begin on November 6 at 21:30 CET and will be held in the best of 1 format.
eUnited made it to IEM Chicago through closed qualifiers in the North American region, beating
Cloud9 in the grand final (3:2). In addition,
eUnited plays in two big leagues - the ESL Pro League and ECS. However, the affairs of the American team are not the best: on the ECS, the guys are one step away from relegation (8th place - 18 points), and in the ESL Pro League they take the 7th line after 20 matches with 26 points.
Up to this point, NAVI, and
eUnited have not met. As for a possible map in the upcoming fight, our squad might ban Cache and Overpass, and the rivals are likely to cross out Dust2, Nuke, and Mirage. Thus,
Natus Vincere will have a choice between Inferno or Train. We believe that
NAVI will start the tournament with a victory and will pass to the semifinal of the Group B upper bracket! #NAVINATION
