Boy, I'm really hoping that NaVi will stick together. With CIS Dota being a cesspool of flames, disorganisation and lost talent, NaVi had actually managed to gather a team that worked and where they seemed to make the most of the talent they had. Granted, they have some "strong personalities", and I have seem people accusing Dendi and Sonneiko of acting like psychopaths. To me, though, they have a great mix of personalities, and any team that can bring Dendi into his comfort zone cannot be that bad. If they stay together and sort things out, I think they'll still be among the top teams for the time to come.

Maybe playing some Dota together again will settle things for them

First game was a convincing win for Na'Vi with great performance from General. G's QoP got wrecked.

Second game they were outdrafted and the whole game was a struggle except for 2 good fights midgame, but it felt like they never had a chance. It was amazing how much they stalled the game with Sonneiko, General and Dendi farming and pushing sidelanes and getting away with it most of the time.
Ah, and the pauses - millions of them.

Third game was an outright destruction, i might not end up looking like that, but it was just game 2 all over again, Empire never had a chance, it was just a matter of time

First game against Empire was extremely fun.

Sadly NaVi took a few steps back since/during TI till now. Hope they can get it together for the Major quals.

Think they should not toy with Dendi drafting. Just stick to one drafter. Yesterday they played pretty bad. Hope they get their thing going again.

Yea, me too. I don't mind not winning TI, but at least I want to enjoy the rest of the year with some good showings.

Edit: I also think in the second the game they shouldn't have picked for ArtStyle Kunkka but Ench instead.

It was a nice game, just like first game against Empire.

I guess it must be so. Either there is some intern problem or they are lost with this patch I don't know how or why.

Dendi drafting, even tho he is not the worst nor the best, he seems to be inclined to go full davai super aggressive and it doesn't seem to be working out so well.

They might be experimenting or just testing out stuff with the drafts, but overall their in-game communication is way off. They are not playing as well as a team as two/three months ago. Hopefully this is nothing to worry about and they will step up, because I don't see them qualifying for the Major like this.

I think their highest high is very good

But their lows are terrible and the consistency is just not there

Ridiculous. They dominated laning phase then got destroyed by their own stupid mistakes in 10 minutes.

Don't think draft was much of an issue either
Just really horrible miscommunication

I hate to say it but I smell roster changes after this quals end. I just hope I am completely wrong, but I can't find any meaning to what is happening.
