ESL One Los Angeles 2020: defeat vs Ninjas in Pyjamas
The match starts at 17:00 CEST
Natus Vincere's next opponent at the ESL One Los Angeles 2020 tournament will be 
Ninjas in Pyjamas. The match will be held in the best of 3 format.
At the start of the championship, the Ninjas has undergone several changes: 
MiLAN has replaced 
Universe, and instead of 
Lelis, they are temporarily playing with a well-known player to the fans of Natus Vincere — 
Blizzy.
Ninjas in Pyjamas successfully started the tournament by defeating 
Alliance but then lost to Team Secret and Chicken Fighters. However, the team is showing a good game, so we can expect that they will not stay on the last row of the tournament standings.
The fight will not be the easiest one for NAVI, but we believe that Born To Win will prepare well and show a great game! #navination

The teams were playing very carefully at the starting stage of the game. Both teams made very few kills and chose to put more time into farm. As a result, by 20 minutes the difference between the teams was minimal.
By 36 minutes, after several successful skirmishes, Natus Vincere players had a solid advantage of 10k gold. Also Born to Win brought down two sides and felt quite comfortable.
The meeting came to an end on 41 minutes after another successful fight. 1 : 0 — NAVI is ahead!

Very active game played by both teams in the early stages of the match: in 20 minutes there were 22 kills, which did not allow any of the teams to get a significant advantage.
Gradually, the enemy began to take control of the map: the heroes of Ninjas in Pyjamas were too strong and the Born to Win lacked damage. Therefore, Medusa chose to get a Divine Rapier. At the same time, enemy Templar Assassin bought also a Divine Rapier.
Both teams then started playing very carefully and tried not to fight each other. In one of the moments, our team managed to kill Templar Assassin and thus got two Divine Rapiers. The opponent bought it again, so Born to Win could not take advantage of the temporary advantage.
At 75 minutes, Medusa got three Divine Rapiers after killing Templar Assassin. However, the opponent immediately redeemed and the game went back to the same course.
The map ended on 94 minutes after the opponent teleported to the NAVI base and quickly destroyed the Ancient of our team. 1 : 1 — a decisive game ahead.

The opponent was very aggressive in the first 15 minutes of the match, thanks to which they gained the advantage of 3k gold. Ninjas in Pyjamas made a lot of kills and pushed the lanes: on 18 minutes the Ninjas even made the first attempt to enter the high round.
By 31 minutes, Natus Vincere lost one side of barracks on the mid lane. The difference in total value between the teams by this point increased to 15k gold.
The game ended after the brawl, during which our guys could not counter the NiP. Immediately after the lost battle, NAVI players acknowledged their defeat — 1 : 2.
