Oakland is apparently a second home for Ninjas in Pyjamas as they defended their championship from IEM Season XI Oakland after defeating FaZe Clan at the Season XII Oakland Grand Finals.

Though the Grand Finals ended up being one of the most exciting series of the year, with a full best-of-five set, tons of highlights and a major upset, the tournament as a whole was worth watching.

Notable individual performances include Marcelo "coldzera" David's +60 KD differential and Kenny "kennyS" Schrub's 0.50 AWP kills per round, which equates to an AWP kill every other round. However, our player highlight for the event goes to Fredrik "REZ" Sterner.

He pulled off one of the eight Aces across the event, had the third highest KD difference at +49, and the fifth highest damage per round at 88.8 across the event. But what his numbers don't show are some of the nutty plays he pulled off throughout the event.
