EPTBut who knows. Maybe wings will knock og/newbee out of the winner bracket for us, while we make our easy road to the grand finals. Given our shit bracket draw in manila and overall performance this season, I'd say we deserved the luck.

I'd say with Newbee it'd be 50:50 right now As with a lot of other teams anyways, Dota is a lot about luck, specifics during the day/game etc. | ||

Newbee is aggressive early game mixed with some super solid OG-tier defensive mid game designed to farm up on their cores, a style which I feel navi will have a hard time cracking. I could easily see navi trying to find pick offs but only able to catch a sacrificial target, and losing 3 in return, while chuan gank squad easily kills dendi general or Ditya over and over again into getting more objectives. | ||

Not that I hate DityaRa or anything but he just seems to lack that threat factor (kind of like EE lolz). I feel like General is their threat factor now. The fear that he just wreck lane is too big for the other team that tries to pick some greedy carry to be able to go dual lane and let their other support roam. This creates a lot of space for Ditya.Ra & Dendi to farm. And they can already farm efficiently alone. Also NaVi has a secret weapon that other team's don't: unpredictable picks. The game 4 vs secret is an example about it. They are ready for that Huskar pick, but the juggernaut pick threw Puppey completely off, making him ban Timber and just left Huskar in the pool. That was one hell of a pick. | ||

These picks can also backfire though And they can get into their own heads still Seriously Na'vi both ending in bottom 4 and winning TI wouldn't surprise me | ||

It highly depends on their drafting. Sometimes it is on point aand than totaly off. Their oveall Playstyle is, however, solid. | ||

And last but not least, he can actually play other positions like mid, which is always great considering you can always throw a curve ball on 4/5th pick Legendary Lina XBOX support? | ||

Legendary XBOCT veno carry remember? I think this past tournament Navi has shown they can swap lanes and heroes which I was very surprised and happy about. Hope they improve their variety and work on some target strats for OG/TL. Really analyzing what their weaknesses are and hoping to exploit them. I'll be happy if they get top 6 while playing some good games along the way. Heck I'm happy to watch any of the games. Last year I was away all of July and Valve thought it was good to move it earlier than they normally hold it. The only game I watched was Artstyle self graving against VG  | ||

While being a serious burden with his in-game skill. He actually might be the single biggest factor of Na'Vi resurgence, the leadership has stayed but he went from an in-game liability to single handedly shredding the opposing team like he's done with his chen against EG when he completely ruined Fear's game and therefore EG's whole gameplan. | ||

You can see the boys are happy playing together, sonneiko draft is getting better and better with every tournament. And to be honest, Artstyle is indeed playing better, he had some amazing plays in SL. Do i think this is a TI winning team ? No, im not sure, it COULD happen, but as to brute force their way into winning TI, no. Do i think this is the perfect NaVi as of today ? Of course. | ||

That's why Artsyle made the team better a year ago even with his shitty ingame skill, and that's why pretty much anyone can be replaced besides him now that he delivers ingame too | ||

Their oveall Playstyle is, however, solid. I think it's doable, hell maybe better. WIll it be tough, of course so. But I think of it this way, Navi right now is ranked 5th in the world. Above them are OG, Liquid, Wings, Newbee in that order. Wings they played one series vs, lost 2-1 but gave drow away every game. I think they are beatable. I say 50-50 odds. Newbee we haven't ever played to the best of my knowledge with these rosters. I'd say Newbee slight favorites, at best 60-40, odds could change depending on how TI goes. The big two are OG and Liquid. They are not unbeatable, Navi has beaten OG before at epicenter, but it's been a while. If Starladder win is enough to help them overcome their mental block and play tight dota, I think they have shown enough draft versatility and styles to certainly have a shot at beating them. 65-35 right now would be the odds I'd give off gut feeling. So I think Top 4 is certainly doable as long as they don't face in elimination bracket OG and Liquid back to back. I think if you want a dark horse outside the top 4 to take TI, Navi has to be up there. I'd put them in the same place as MVP. I think top 4 for both squads is doable, winning is possible, but not likely. | ||
