After losing to Gambit Esports 31-28 in a overtime best-of-one on Inferno, Na’Vi defeated Heroic 2-1 in the group decider match to gain their ticket to the playoff stage of DreamHack’s final event of the year.

Na’Vi crushed Mousesports on map one Cobblestone 16-4, as Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev led the way with a 26-9 kill-death ratio. To close out the tournament, Na’Vi newcomer Denis “electronic” Sharipov and Egor “flamie” Vasilyev carried their own weight and attained 28 and 27 kills respectively in the team’s 16-11 win on Inferno.
