StarLadder Berlin Major: victory over MIBR
Natus Vincere advances to the team pool with 2-2 statistics!
In the fourth round of StarLadder Berlin Major 
NAVI.GG.BET will meet with team 
MIBR. The match will start at 12:00 CEST and will be played in the best of 3 format.
This time, the rival ofNatus Vincere will be the team that began its journey from the "New Legends" stage. However, the circumstances are such that two months before the major,coldzera left MIBR, leaving no chance for the team to find a replacement.Subsequently, in this championship, the Brazilian team is forced to play with a coach.
Despite the stalemate, in the first round, MIBR beat 
NiP andat the very least kept their place in the “New Challengers” stage for the next Major tournament. Unfortunately, the next two games were extremely unsuccessful for the FalleN's team: a defeat against 
G2 (4: 16 - Inferno) and 
ENCE (8: 16 - Inferno).The last time NAVI and MIBRplayed against each other was at the BLAST Pro Series Miami, and back then the victory went to our five with a score of 16: 8 (Nuke). We hope that Natus Vincere players will bewell prepared for the match and beat MIBR! #NAVINATION

Mirage - Natus Vincere [16:11] MIBR
The starting period of the Mirage map was after NAVI: the guys won the pistol round, force buy and eco.The buy round, in turn, went to the Brazilian team. However, the terrorists gave away two points in response, which provided NAVI with a good lead 5:1.
Despite a favorable start, the Brazilians winning one round was enough to leave the counter-terrorists without money. After one eco round, the Born to Win used their tactical pause. After that,the MIBR players carried out an attack on B plant, which our guys were not quite ready for - another round went to the terrorists side, and the remaining defense players went to the save their weapons.
The decision to save the rifles fully paid off, since NAVI not only avoided the eco, but managed to make a buy round and seize the initiative in the match. The end of the first half of the meetingwas better for the MIBR five, which resulted in a loss with a more acceptable score (6 : 9).
The second pistol round went to the NAVI, the Brazilians answered by winning force buy.Fortunately, our guys paid them back and closed the force buy in their favor. It was not possible to consolidate the success of the previous round: the guys could not handle the weak purchase of the opponent. Subsequently,MIBR reduced the difference in the score to one point - 10: 11.
After stabilizing the economic situation, NAVI earned two points in a row and took control of the match. The last opportunity for the Brazilians to get caught up in the first map was the twenty-fifth round, otherwise, the Born to Win would have five match points and leave the defending players without money. As a result,MIBR failed to meet the challenge and lost on Mirage (11 : 16).

Natus VincereInferno — Natus Vincere [16:4] MIBR
The Inferno began with another round exchange: NAVI were stronger in the pistol round, and MIBR players weremore successful in partial buy round. However, our team managed to complete the third round in their favor. This development of events allowed the Born to Win to take the lead (4: 1).
When the score was 6: 1 in favor of NAVI, the Brazilian five took a timeout. After a short talk, MIBR switched to a game with two AWPs - this decision provided them with a second point. Then there was a round exchange between the teams, which led to the reset of the counter-terrorist economy. The opponent never managed to get a lot of points in defense, and they lost the first half on Inferno with a score of 4 : 11.
In order to increase the chances of a comeback for the side of the attack, MIBR was better off winning either a pistol round or force buy.The Brazilians couldn't handle any of these tasks. Thus, they did not earn a single point in the attack. The final result is the victory for NAVI with a score of 16 : 4.
