It was a tremendous day for Natus Vincere's CS:GO team, as they won the ESL Pro League Season 14 and the Intel Grand Slam.
Natus Vincere had to face a powerful Team Vitality in the tournament's final series, which had lately regained its best form. Both teams won their map picks, ending in a best-of-five thriller on Mirage, which Natus Vincere eventually won with a 16-14 score. Overall, Navi had a fantastic competition, winning Group C and routing ENCE and Heroic en route to the Grand Final.
CONGRATULATIONS TO @natusvincere!
