Na'Vi completed an undefeated run through the Counter-Strike: Global Offensivegrand finals at ESL One New York Sunday night,Spideypool XXX Parody winning $125,000 and its first big tournament title since January. With this win under Na'Vi's belt, the team is looking like one of the top in the world.

SK Gaming is still widely regarded as the best team in the world after its dominating performance at the last two Majors followed by an impressive showing at ELeague before losing their spot due to changing franchises. Na'Vi dominated SK 16-6.
Na'Vi kept it together
Virtus.pro has recently come back in full form, winning both ELeague and DreamHack Bucharest in recent months and reinvigorating their reputation for excellent LAN performances. Na'Vi beat them 16-9 in group play and beat them again in the finals in a pressure-filled overtime match on Mirage.
Na'Vi has garnered a reputation of getting down on themselves and each other when they start to lose rounds, often unable to pull out a finals victory at big tournaments like the Columbus Major and DreamHack Masters Mälmo.
Na'Vi kept it together, not faltering when a game wasn't going their way and keeping their momentum going through some impressive round streaks.
S1mple and Guardian were on fire the entire weekend of ESL One, making clutch plays and staying smart and cool under pressure. S1mple had what was possibly the greatest play of the tournament, tossing his AWP over the wall going into bombsite B to distract Team Liquid's Nitr0 and shoot him down for a clutch win.
Flamie, Seized and Edward all contributed to every map, although they weren't quite as consistent as the other two.
As this current Na'Vi roster continues to practice and play together at big events, they'll keep growing and getting better together -- just a few months with a new player isn't the most stable way to go into a tournament, especially considering Virtus.pro have all been playing together for years.
The fact that Na'Vi made it to the finals was surprising to Guardian, he told Mashableafter the team's semifinals win over Team Liquid.
"We've had some tough times online," he said, referring to recent losses in ESL Pro League and StarSeries. "I'm quite happy but at the same time surprised that we are doing so good, and of course we have enough confidence to play the final."
The final started out with Na'Vi losing the first map 16-3, but they came back and took the next two maps in close victories.
Guardian said the team is focusing less on themselves as individuals and more on working as a team to win games.
After the win at ESL One, Na'Vi may not be the number one team on most people's lists, but they are at least in the top five alongside SK Gaming, Virtus.pro, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Cloud9.
