Esports analyst Duncan ‘Thorin’ Shields believes Natus Vincere should make a roster change despite their recent improved results. iM was identified as the primary candidate to be replaced due to insufficient shooting performance on the server.

“I truly believe they have turned things around. They are not quite at the level they were at in the first season yet, but they are close to it, at about 90 percent,” Thorin stated.

The analyst praised w0nderful for strong gameplay and noted that b1t has returned to his proper form, alongside stable in-game calling. Despite his critique, Thorin does not expect the organization to make any roster changes before the end of 2026.
