I couldn't watch it completely but I got to see the last ten minutes, man... what a nice ending from GeneRaL with that refresher orb.
Good to see NaVi win games they should win, hopefully they will keep improving for when they have to face the likes of EG and [A]. We will see.. Bat Rider will be a sure ban soon.
Also I am so happy to see Sonn playing ES.

Clearly above t3 teams atm. Wonder how they fair against quality t2 teams like empire spirit etc

Mmm Vega its a tier 2 team, if not 1.5 or something (they are surely going through a rough time tho)
|
Vega definitely has a history of being T2. I'm not certain they currently count as T2, but it's not like they're super-bad. I want to see Na'Vi get into the position of facing better teams soon, though. There's only so much that can be learned at their current level.

I think Navi played very well. They had a line up that had to snowball, and they did it. Can you imagine them going into the mid game even on networth or even behind? Game would of been a slaughter. They played the early game extremely well, did a good job to limit PR's teamfight line up, that was a very potent threat even with the gold defecit, and whenever they lost a fight, with chrono down they immediately resumed pressuring, taking objectives and farming.
I don't think they ever lost the gold lead. So I think that was another good showing.
|
Watching them play after the hell they've been stuck since post TI4, I'm a really happy NaVi fangay. You can see the improved communication in their plays, which is what I believed to be their downfall (lack of good communication). There positioning has also improved.

well that was a stomp if there ever was one...
I wonder how well general will play in LANs and against tighter opponents. His bat's pretty mean though (almost funn1k-esque).
and man did I miss the yolo Na'Vi 
|
Starting to play like a team again, fuck yea!
|
I couldn't watch but Dendi Ember? Sonn Enigma? How did they play? Explain please if you will

Dendi couldn't die and dominated mid. Ditya farmed up a storm. Sonn played decently (no 3-5 man black holes but never got to a situation where it was necessary).

Aggresive ember by Dendi, while SoNneikO farm some utility items, and suddenly Ditya Ra outfarmed everyone like a boss.
Every clash almost 4v5 coz someone from HR died instantly.

oka, thanks, I saw Dendi go first manta too, I guess to dispel the silence so in the end it seemed quite weird in trackdota. Good to know they did good. I wish to see some other hero for GeneRaL, would be so nice to see him play clockwerk, I love having a good clockwerk on the team, and TH too. We will see.

Im not sure about this Tier One invite for ESL Quals. Will be interesting to see how they do.

Actually, I thought parts of that game were kind of sloppy. Maybe a better way of putting it is that Na'Vi is still playing sloppy, but HR is at the level of play where they can punish those kinds of mistakes. They certainly couldn't do it hard enough, and Ditya Ra and Dendi kept up enough stable farm to just end the game with their lineup's native inevitability. I really hope Na'Vi learn from this game, though, and adjust their play to skate more carefully along the line between aggression and feeding.
But god damn do I love seeing this in action. The confidence Na'Vi is showing in their games is so rare in the DOTA2 pro scene these days. Only other team that's really acting like they are right now is, ironically, Alliance. EHOME sometimes looks similar, but really it's just Na'Vi and Alliance. I've been looking forward to watching each of their games because they're just a pleasure to view.

Everyone played very well. Dendi Ember was impressive, stayed even on cs with puck mid which isn't easy due to puck being a better laner. Item build was good, had a dominating streak, outside of being cocky and sticking around enemy jungle too long after avoiding 1 gank, he made as far as I could see 0 mistakes. Lots of kills and farm.
Enigma was level 5 by 4 minutes, at the 14 minute mark he had boots, soul ring, mek and nearly a pipe finished, had hood, headress and just need recipe. So yeah, was a good game.

So, for na'vi, has GeneraL played anything other than Batrider?
Don't get me wrong, he's good with it but you know you can't get Bat every time.

Yep, as I said, I want to see him play other heroes, not in the sense of a childish attitude but to see how well he plays anything aside from Bat Rider.
Of course, as long as they pick it and win it is all good for me. I wonder how will he fare when they ban/pick it.
Hopefully he will be as good with other heroes. We will see!

Well bat just got banned, and Navi banned void. Essentially a bo3 against a better (T2 team?) coming up for Na'VI so we'll see how they change over the course of a series! LET's GO NAVI
