Going in to the last major online tournament before the LAN finals of SLTV IX commence in Kiev this Thursday, Na'Vi clobbered their opponents in Cloud 9 with a 3-1 score after several displays of power from the Ukranian powerhouse. One of which included a massive comeback in the initial game of the series, where they were down by a total of 9 kills in the early game but managed to claw their way back into the game and eventually win it.
The community funded event paid out a total of $124,000, of which a total of $60,000 was paid out to the winners, a hefty sum that will more than likely act as a motivator for the upcoming LAN in Kiev.
