Kinda akward if you think about 1 year ago, when they went in a slump, and like a pheonix they came back crawling and getting better and better until the Grand finals. What do you think guys, is this better or worse? considering how Na'Vi plays and how the other teams think of them. + Show Spoiler + Im not trying to get any flames or any sort, im an LGD fan, but I'd like to have an actual conversation with normal people about this, if its better to get there as the best, or getting it Day by Day. | ||

What I think is interesting though is that Naga is making a return with basically no changes to her. It may as a walking "I have only 1 good skill" hero like tree, but she is returning. I imagine people grinning with evil glee in their eyes whenever naga ult is used to single out a BKB user. I actually think that a lot of the staples of last year make a return. Antimage carry, duo lane + jungle, dark seer and enigma picks, strong mid lane matchups like qop vs puck, batskater vs TA etc. Na'Vi are in danger of losing momentum half way if they already start strong imho. They strive on using some new strat every match. I fear they might run out of things to mess with "standard" strategies. | ||

Since coming back from China, when Na'vi takes a game seriously their execution is much crisper and overall they have solid play. Better drafts from Puppey for the most part, and less throws from XBOCT. Plus they finally found a few consistent carries XBOCT can play without being a major detriment with his aggressive and wreckless style. However, nothing that they've played so far has really been new or anything; it's not like they've been abusing metagame heroes like Alliance did with LD/Magnus/Wisp/etc; They've just really been outplaying everyone. Come TI3 they should be fine. | ||

Just that it isn't. No one touched her after the big nerf, then she got cooldown nerfed. Reverting the cooldown nerf puts her in the same state she was then. How is that a big deal? | ||

No, people definitely used here through 6.75 after the damage nerf. You can find several G-1 League games from right after TI2 where both Chinese and SEA teams were using the hero, not to mention Western and SEA teams picking the hero in other tournaments. It was the CD nerf that stopped people using her. | ||

On a similar note. Anyone, off the top of their heads, know who has the most lan experience, and who has the least? | ||
