I said a few post back I'm happy that they are at Key Arena and that is all I really asked for this year for them given how bad they have been in this patch. This could have been a lot worse (aka Alliance and Fnatic). But they are still in TI4 and have a chance to do something at least. That is all I want. I'm just realistic about their chances this year. | ||

Sure during the game I was a bit bumped but in the end they're already higher than I expected. Before TI they seemed lost a lot of the time. Right now the standard picks might not fit the team that well but they had several in which they impressed again. They'll be at Key Arena and I really I hope that that they can survive C9 as my sympathies for envy are on the low side but if they come 8th that's perfectly fine with me. I love that team. I guess I got a little more relaxed during the last year aswell and can totally appreciate a well executed gameplan as Newbee had it. | ||

Ya and I can finally just watch the TI4 games without having to be biased on teams which always seems to kill my experience lol. Soo that is a plus... Sides... I love Lanaya and she won so  Too bad Dendi hasn't played her much. | ||

I mean, navi have his streght into a high mobility heroes, infact, despite the result, they feel more confident in game one vs newbee where their puck-ember-io shine a bit. The second game where they go for a more static farm position went very bad. I think they have to focusing more in speed and mobility that give them the possibility to be agressive. This is my own opinion and i'm not in navi themself True, they're experimenting with the meta I think, I hope they fix it by Saturday tho. | ||

I am repeating myself, they don't seem to research their opponents, ok they banned Doom but both games Newbee picked Weaver, you may not know it the first game, that they use it aggressively, but by the second, man come on, punish him. I just think they are not in shape, they don't grasp the meta, they don't master the heroes. Mirana is such a great hero this patch and no one can play her, not one out of five. In the other hand Xboct's Razor is better that Dendi's so I am ok with it. XBOCT plays a decent carry Mirana. And god i hope they never pick heroes like Razer for Dendi again. Just like when Alliance picks Razer or something as static and unmobile for S4, such a waste of their talents. Na'vi always say they practice in official games, where else to get actual practice? So i'm hoping all this, so far is simply them fucking around trying things out. | ||

Who knows, maybe they will take the usual road of NaVi and we will see them in the finals, but its probably just me dreaming. | ||

Maybe Puppey is just so brilliant -- instead of saving strats for TI, he's saving strats for a later _phase_ of TI! I think a more realistic interpretation is that his drafting has deteriorated. Perhaps Goblak is a bad influence too? | ||

I used to love their execution, connecting stuns one after another, but with the recent compositions I just knew I weren't going to see any of that. By Mirana I meant a support Mirana, a Kkys or Ppys Mirana. She seems to be working out so well in that position for many teams and I never saw her that way with these guys. They are not playing early as aggressively as one year ago. I see that in the drafts as well as in the so called "movements" Ppy talk about so much. | ||

I say give puppey the boot out of the drafters chair and also out of the in game calls and get kuro on that, he seems to know whats up the most in current na'vi also excuse me for saying this but I genuinely feel puppey has to go after TI, he's all talks since the start of 2014 and hindering the team | ||

all they have to do is draft well. Also after TI Xboct has to hit the gym. Dendi was only half joking hat Xboct should cosplay as pudge this is xboct at TI2: ![[image loading]](http://i.gyazo.com/a635269919f53a51fe559e87a28561ad.png) Also we need Dendi Rubick or Pudge resurge  | ||
