  Fnatic, anxiously watched by their manager and Counter-Strike legend Patrik 'cArn' Sättermon, would best Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) in the SteelSeries Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Championship at DreamHack Winter. Fnatic would take home $100,000, their portion of the $250,000 prize pool, in the biggest Counter-Strike tournament of all time.

  ARE YOU ENTERTAINED?

  Fnatic would win two to one. Their win on Dust, the first map, would shake up the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive social media world as the comeback Fnatic made was truly the stuff of legends. NiP would then go on to take a fairly convincing, by the book, win on Inferno. On Train, a map that is usually regarded as NiP's best map, the exact opposite would happen. A surgical and methodical Fnatic would go on to win the series and the event.

Over 100,000 people tuned in to watch the finals on Twitch.tv and there were reports over 150,000 watching in GOTV. The event was truly historic for Counter-Strike not only for its prize pool, but for the number of fans that tuned in.
