In the aftermath of fnatic's controversial boost on de_overpass in the Dreamhack Winter 2014 quarterfinals, LDLC player Nathan "NBK" Schmitt announced on Twitter that Dreamhack admins had ruled that fnatic's boost was illegal, and that the match would be restarted at the beginning of the second half of the match, 12-3. However Schmitt also stated that fnatic had filed their own complaint, and that the verdict was not final. The incertaintiy of the ruling was also confirmed on the official Dreamhack Twitter.
Admins decision : 12-3 restart. @FNATIC are filling a complain against us now. So the final decision isn't final. Good night. Rip CS:GO.

Schmitt also mentioned that while Team LDLC players were forced to leave the event when it closed, some fnatic players were allowed to stay to speak to the Dreamhack officials in private. He also clarified that the illegality of fnatic's boost during the match stemmed not from the fact that it was pixel boosting, but that it created invisible textures, which is against the rules of the tournament.
Btw we got kicked out of the event 2 hours and a half ago, while @FNATIC could stay and talk with the admins. 10/10

As of November 28th, it is still unknown what the final outcome of the conflict will be.
*UPDATE* Dreamhack officials announce decision to restart the match is now final.
Final decision. LDLC vs Fnatic last map Overpass will be replayed due to texture transparency and immortal bug used by both teams.
