NAVI Junior's recent struggles with map control, particularly on Mirage, could be their Achilles' heel against XI Esport, who have shown a strong affinity for exploiting weakness in opponent's map pools.

NAVI Junior has been floundering lately with a mixed bag of results, posting a 40% winrate in their last 10 matches. Key player s1mple's form has dipped, particularly in clutch situations, leading to critical round losses. Meanwhile, XI Esport has been on a hot streak, with a 70% winrate in their recent games, showcasing a much more cohesive team performance and reliable fragging from their star player, who has a knack for entry fragging and disrupting enemy setups.

In terms of drafting, NAVI Junior often gravitate towards a standard meta approach, but their lack of flexibility on certain maps, especially the aforementioned Mirage, could be exploited. XI Esport, however, has a diverse hero pool with a penchant for aggressive plays and unconventional strategies, potentially catching NAVI off-guard. Their effective use of utility and map control gives them a distinct tactical edge, which NAVI has yet to effectively counter in previous matchups.
