Natus Vincere has won ESL One New York 2016 after defeating Virtus.pro in the Grand Final 2-1.

VP dominated Map 1 on Cobblestone, going 13-2 in the first half, setting the stage for a quick second half that ended 16-3. Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski secured an impressive 4.0 KDR at the first half, while none of Na`Vi's players could get a KDR higher than 0.83.

Map 2, Train, saw Na`Vi take an early lead in a great 12-3 terrorist round before the half. While VP improved slightly in the second half, all Na`Vi had to do was win four rounds to take the map 16-8 and force one final map to decide it all.

While the first two maps featured one team taking the lead early, Map 3 on Mirage was bitterly fought. The first half ended 8-7 in favor of VP, but Na`Vi tied the map after winning the pistol round immediately afterwards. Both teams traded rounds throughout the second half, and Na`Vi nearly sealed their victory in the final round with a 1v3 from Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev, but VP were able to defend and force overtime.

VP capitalized on overtime with a quick 2-1 lead as CT, but could not follow through when they switched, with Na`Vi winning the final three rounds to win the map and the tournament 19-17.

This is the first LAN that Na`Vi has won with their newest member Oleksandr "s1mple" Kostyliev, who turned 19 the same day, and their first LAN win since winning Counter Pit League Season 2 in March.
