tbh VP played like garbage after the laning stage. A better team would probably stomp from where VP started making mistakes.

I think it's lovely and all, but this is a few years too late. Whether it was his captains or his own preferences, it was ridiculous for a long time now.

I get that Dendi has his own style, but regardless he should have pushed to play the strong heroes. Many of the OP heroes throughout this time weren't his specialty, but who cares just play it.

Wouldn't really matter
They always had dead weight in terms of tilting, morale corrupting xboct, waning Funnik
Then a string of inconsistent squads
Only to turn to the liability in Artstyle's crappy ingame skill after finally fixing their leadership issue through getting him back.

Now Dendi's awesome as always, playmaking mids are very much back in the meta
Artstyle got radically better and they even let him farm priority in a lot of games because they know he will deliver, that's how good he got. (lens aghs refresher blink Shadow Smaman with mmmm)
Have great playmaker in Sonneiko, solid farmers Ditya and General

And the vintage dominating Na'Vi, Tier 3 diving, aggressive yet capable of control team as we know it is back.


I'd see them as a contender and probably a favourite over any team besides the TOP3 right now, it'd be shocking if they didn't get a direct invite to TI6

True, he did have deadweight so it might not have mattered much, but if you REALLY consider those patches, yes it would make a difference. But you make the point that playmaking mids are back in the meta, and that's true so it doesn't matter so much that he plays farmers, but again he shoulda started long ago.

But the biggest thing is that general is also a playmaker, and dendi is playing more farm oriented mids when navi needs.

His biggest fault was not adapting to the second carry in the mid role, but he is now.

Even when Dendi plays farmers like Invoker or Tinker the team sacks his farm quite a bit, they don't play it through him like Secret does. You see General and Artstyle with items you wouldn't expect them to have all the time, taking pressure off Dendi even when he is on farming mids.

And the team doesn't suffer at all, Artstyle and General are awesome at finding farm and using it well, the farm distribution gets extremely close - I think they are onto something here, and it might be a strong alternative to the tri core lineups we're seeing the top teams do

From what I've seen, what most of the top teams are doing is have two scaling cores, one initiation core, and one farming/scaling support and one hard support.

Man i couldnt stay up for the Navi vs coL game but game 2 was such a stomp. It's so much fun to see Sand King back in action.

And alao Cap called Sonneiko hit and miss? Like seriously? He's the most consistent CIS player in the past year.

Miracle mid juggernaut, Dendi mid juggernaut, Miracle mid Timbersaw, Dendi mid Timbersaw. To beat OG, Navi must become OG.

Na'Vi need to beat something more than these tier 1.5 at best teams. Looks like they got a free ticket to a LAN finals with this tournament, props to them at least for not choking I guess.

Well, considering the only teams they are clearly inferior to right now are Liquid, Newbee, MVP and OG I dont think its such a sour deal. But yes that is the next step.

Doubt you can call MVP better now
Basically tier 1.5=TOP4 world

And calling that a free ticket to LAN Finals with 16 teams is well... Trollcenter ish

Col, VP and Vega are not Top 4 world and I can't see any argument for them being tier 1 other than the fact that they get to Lans. Tier 1.5 seems a fair description. You can't put them in the same category as tournament winners. Na'Vi are around Alliance's level atm (who they barely beat when they last played), which is not bad, but way behind teams in the top 4 and not that much in front of other tier 1.5 teams.
