After 10 days of battle, Snow Sweet Snow 2 has come to a close, with the winning team HAVU running away with the $44,000 champions prize, with an undefeated run.

Over 7 matches, HAVU dropped 4 maps, although won 14 to now have a win streak of 15, and a win rate of 95% over the year so far. During this tournament they toppled, in order from start to finish, MIBR (2-0), Endpoint (2-1), SAW (2-1), Anonymo (2-0), Sprout (2-1), Winstrike (2-1) and finally AGO (2-0) in the finals.

The performance of HAVU throughout the entire run of Snow Sweet Snow 2 has been through the roof, and a great example of the strength of a team when everyone comes together for the one goal. This is no doubt helped by HAVU taking players from a single country, so communication is as silky smooth as can be with as little language barriers as possible. Players Aerial & xseveN, both from ENCE before HAVU, came together to deliver heavy blow after heavy blow throughout the tournament. xseveN did so good they came out as the top player of the entire tournament.

In the final match against later runners-up AGO, HAVU took them on across Nuke & Mirage.

Thanks to the adept hammering skills of Aerial, time after time devastating AGO early on in rounds, HAVU went 10-5 at the team crossover point. However, a different set of guns didn't stop Aerial from continuing his one-man army attacks, allowing HAVU to have Nuke in an outwardly simple 16-8. Now onto Mirage, where AGO managed to get 6 rounds before the team switch, with HAVU still able to dominate even on AGO's choice of map. When all was said and done, AGO couldn't stitch rounds together, falling 16-11 to HAVU in the final.

The tournament saw surprising exits throughout, with recent Intel Extreme Masters: Katowice winners Gambit getting taken down by Copenhagen Flames in a 2-1 fight to and managing only an 8th position. Also of note is one of the higher ranked teams in the entire tournament, Movistar Riders were quickly shut out into the 16th to 18th range, coming across AGO, TeamOne & Anonymo in devastating 2-0 losses for the Riders, winning only one match, against 100PG in their entire Snow Sweet Snow campaign.
