Natus Vincere got off to a great start at MLG Columbus and moved to the Upper Bracket final of Group D after beating Cloud9 16-9 on de_train. The map began with Cloud9 getting off to a flying start, taking a 6-0 lead on the CT side and putting Na`Vi in danger of getting blown out. The CIS team looked completely helpless during the opening stages and their players were not even hitting their shots, so it was with little surprise that they called a tactical pause to adjust their attack. Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács and Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev took matters into their own hands and rescued a round that appeared to be lost to give Na`Vi some much-needed breathing room. That round turned out to be the wake-up call that Na`Vi needed as they won seven of the following eight rounds to take an 8-7 half-time lead, with Cloud9 looking like a far cry from the side that had started the game so well.
The second half started with Na`Vi winning the pistol round and the following anti-ecos to enlarge their lead to 11-7. After buying up, Cloud9 were able to pick up a round, following key kills from Jake "Stewie2K" Yip and Ryan "freakazoid" Abadir, but Na`Vi rallied back right after and reset the economy of the North Americans. The end of the game came quickly from then on: with a crushing economic control, Na`Vi did not let Cloud9 build on the few round wins they had, and they would take a string of rounds to close out the game 16-9.
