Aleksib revealed that Natus Vincere requires a higher volume of official matches to maintain their competitive tempo. The squad enjoyed a strong start following their recent bootcamp, but their confident pace gradually faded over time.

“As a team, we just strive to play more official matches. We had a great start after the bootcamp, but over time this confident pace began to fade, so now we feel the need to play more and more often,” Aleksib said.

The team captain believes that participating in more tournaments and building confidence will directly improve their overall playstyle and preparation. Natus Vincere will look to regain that momentum at ESL Pro League Season 24.

ESL Pro League Season 24 is scheduled to run from October 3 to October 11, 2026, in Katowice, Poland. The tournament features a massive $1,000,000 prize pool.
