Natus Vincere have won DreamHack Open Winter 2017 after defeating mousesports 2-0 in the grand final.

The Ukrainian team came out of the gate looking scary, winning six rounds right off the bat following a series of successful A execution that mousesports simply could do nothing against. Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk took matters into his own hands and earned the first round for his team, but Na`Vi hit back immediately, leaving their opponents' economy in shambles.

mousesports still could not get a breather; every time that they scraped a round, they were countered right away, which prevented them from gaining any ground. As the half came to an end, Tomáš "⁠oskar⁠" Šťastný's men knew they had a mountain to climb to turn the deficit around, with his team trailing by seven rounds.

Natus Vincere further added to their lead by winning the pistol round with a flawless A retake. mousesports desperately tried to find a way back into the game, but Na`Vi kept their defence very tight and eventually closed out the map with three AWP kills from Egor "⁠flamie⁠" Vasilyev on the B site.

The early stages of Inferno were played at a frantic pace, with teams taking turns to win rounds. Eventually, a 1v3 clutch from STYKO put an end to Na`Vi's resistance and sparked a fantastic run that only ended when mousesports had a 9-3 lead.

Natus Vincere brought the Terrorists' streak to an end after finding two incendiary frags early on, with Aleksandr "⁠s1mple⁠" Kostyliev and flamie stepping up with AWPs in the final two rounds to help bring the deficit to 9-6.

After the teams switched sides, the landscape of the game changed dramatically as Na`Vi won the first six rounds of the half to secure a comfortable lead and a decent bank to work with. Robin "⁠ropz⁠" Kool single-handedly rescued his team with a quad-kill inside A, but the Ukrainians rallied back immediately and lost just one more round before sealing a convincing victory.
