How did Na’Vi win the event?
Natus Vincere started out the event in the Semi-Finals of the bracket, where they faced off FaZe Clan. The result of the match ended with a 2-1 scoreline favoring Na’Vi, and they advanced through the final where they would meet Mousesports for an intense best of 5 series.
The series between these two teams was very close, however after 4 maps played Na’Vi clutched up the final match to win the series 3-2 and grab 1st place at the Gamers Without Borders charity event.
On the whole, the event was a really good incentive to aid charities around the world with esports. We hope that more events like this happen so that esports has a part in helping the world as well.
