On November 20th, the Oracle Arena, its attendees and everyone who tuned in online saw the conclusion of Intel Extreme Masters Oakland. Four CS:GO remained in the running for the coveted trophy: Astralis, SK Gaming, FaZe Clan and Ninjas in Pyjamas. We saw some thrilling matchups and fantastic plays making IEM Oakland an event to remember. There could only be one winner, however, and it was the magicians of Ninjas in Pyjamas who bested their opponents.
