Na`Vi Wins WePlay Season 2 over Alliance 3-2
Na`Vi just won the WePlay Season 2 Grand Finals, going 3-2 against their biggest rivals, Alliance. Na`Vi and Alliance have been tearing up the Dota 2 scene since TI3, both making it to the finals of multiple events where they got their TI3 rematch. This time Na`Vi came out on top, showing that they are currently adapting well to the new patch. With this win Na`Vi are taking home the grand prize of $13,000, while Alliance will take home $6000.
Alliance had a bit of a struggle in the group stages, where they barely made it through. Although they ended up sweeping through the playoffs with a 2-1 victory over TL, and even defeating Na`Vi in the Winner's final. Na`Vi were the opposite, not dropping any games in the group stage, and they were almost dropped out of the playoffs after their loss to Alliance. The finals ended up being as close as you could get, which is something we have come to expect from a finals between these two EU powerhouses. The games where almost fully dependent on the drafting stage, and whoever got their signature heroes seemed to do better. In the end Na`Vi won 3-2.
Congratulations again to Natus Vincere on their well deserved win.

I'm so happy Na`Vi won. These Alliance vs Na`Vi rematches are great.

I don't get this creepy Dota2 format for double elimination. Alliance went 4-3 against Na'Vi and yet are second.

Alliance keeps cutting it short at Grand Finals this season.
DK vs Alliance is gonna get less exciting. If Alliance wins, it's "lol DK disband, Mushi go back to SEA". If DK wins, it's Alliance just being a 2nd placer team.

Really back and forth, I just wish some of the games were closer. Kind of funny that clockwork was on the winning team every game. I really liked the hero diversity

not much of a winner's advantage
btw why was the loser's finals a BO5, while the winner's finals a BO3?

Na'Vi played quite solid for the most part. Alliance played quite shaky.
Not the best final, but it was allright.

fuck Alliance second again  I really dislike s4 on DK, I think his impact on the game was minimal ... and also Alliance had to give Timbersaw to Bulldog and we all saw what happened 
gg better team won I guess

Blarg, avoiding spoilers so I can watch the VODs, and bam there it is on the left
Edit: That said, which of the games were worth watching?
|
2 and 5 were the most even ones.
|
YES! The games were thrilling to say the least.

The final game especially, although you obviously know who won that game. Otherwise, perhaps game 1.

Kongliance?
that was bad, I'll show myself out

Is it normal to post the result of the match as the title of the thread? I imagine a decent amount of people will watch the games later and might not want them spoiled...
