Analyst James Banks believes that Natus Vincere can utilize their substantial earnings from the Esports World Cup to fund crucial cs2 roster changes. The organization secured an estimated two to three million in prize money across their disciplines during the event.

“They did so well at EWC as an organization. I think they got like three million in the end, maybe it was two, but they did very well considering. That’s a good amount of money for the organization to put some more stock into the CS, because buyouts right now in CS are ridiculous,” James Banks said.

Player buyouts in the current professional scene require massive financial backing for any successful rebuild. This situation mirrors Natus Vincere and their struggles following the Shanghai Major in 2024 before their eventual recovery.

The team currently sits 11th in the VRS rankings, with the qualification window for the Singapore Major closing in November. Banks pointed out that B1ad3 and b1t remain the primary pull factors capable of attracting elite talent to the roster.
