I'd be happier if they show consistency, like constantly beating tier 2s, constantly putting up a fight (although losing) against tier 1s etc. i think in dota everything starts off with a streak... because you then realise what youve done right or wrong and continue capitalising on... for the past 2 days i can see their drafting has been much better... they are comfortable trying out Zeus, WR .etc while getting results... also getting better at sticking with their game plan and not tilted... in g3 they were 0 5 down with 3k behind in the first 10 mins... everyone expected a 16 mins gg but the boys knew exactly what their lineup was capable of and worked with that... | ||

It is nice to watch them win but this could just be some luck of the draw, hope it is not. Na'vi beat Secret and VP on consecutive days, which are 2 of the top 3 DPC point holders. Whatever it is that Na'vi got going it is definitely not luck of the draw. But the wins still might be fluke. There might still be 2 more tier 2 teams that Na'vi face in this tournament. Those 2 games might give us an indication of how good Na'vi is actually playing right now. If they beat them convincingly like tier 1's should, then they might actually be on the up. | ||

It is nice to watch them win but this could just be some luck of the draw, hope it is not. Same, VP's and Secret's performance really didn't convince me. Secret's game 1 draft was beyond wonky f.e. Considering the last results of epicenter it's fairly safe to say that some stronger teams just tried stuff out because the patch just came out. Not trying to take away that Navi is playing way better than ever since they kicked Sonneiko and lost Rodjer, the Navi of the last few tournaments wouldnt have won game 3 vs Secret nor give Newbee a challenge. But I think it's too soon to say whether they aren't just back to being a mid-level team profiting from the chaos of the early patch or are actually a team that could take a top tier team down mid patch. It was still fun seeing them win vs Secret, I hope it lasts. | ||

We’re definitely favorites to get 3-4, but bo1 lower bracket is brutal. We’ve shown we can win any game but also lose any game. ehmm there is every chance of losing to Pain aswell and just getting knocked out. | ||

Now you get what I meant? They are not consistent. Winning against VP and Secret means nothing if don't get out of group stage.. Lucky days ended in wins we never saw coming. Normal days ended like they normally do, with NaVi losing to anyone. The only thing that bothers me about all this is that those two wins will likely postpone the so much needed change in the team dynamic. | ||
