If Na'Vi continue to practice and Dendi grows as a drafter, I think they might become a good enough team~ only good enough is a very subjective term :/ I hope so, hope is the last we should lose. | ||

I keep missing recent games. Certainly I have faith in his game knowledge, intelligence, and leadership to do it but those are only the ingredients to good drafting. | ||

After that FNG drafted for 4 games (they went 2-2 the 2 losses going to Vici). Since then Dendi's drafted the past 7 games where they've gone 6-1 (the loss against Team Secret). The 6 victories have come against, Fnatic 3 times and PR 3 times... Sure it's not the best opposition, but W's are W's right? | ||

Well AA mid used to be a thing and it's COMPLETELY against this meta, but it still worked its purpose of wrecking the early game. Ideally, they would have ended it right then, but 6.82 thinks otherwise  they got the win eventually, but yeah~ that was very throwback-y | ||

Also, that game vs alliance was no fun! | ||

Mids now need to be great midgame heroes/pushers. Lanaya is a good fit actually, since she can shut down the enemy mid and great at killing midgame. | ||

I think Dendi's found a decent enough balance between his style and the meta. He just needs a tempo mid than can become a semi carry... like storm spirit, lanaya, qop (maybe...), etc | ||

We can't expect him to be a Tier1 drafter just because we want NaVi to win. It took Ppy some time to earn his title and it will also take Dendi some time to reach a level comparable to any other Tier1 drafter. I agree, I hope he improves. I also hope he took notes when Puppey was godlike at drafting. Still, SL lan finals should be interesting. They should make it out of their group above VP and Exacration | ||

So in order for Na'Vi to advance there should be no tier1 teams in the event? What has become of Na'Vi lately is just so pathetic .I feel for their fans but then again there isn't a singe CIS team at the moment that can contest the likes of the China/EG/c9(when they don't trow). | ||

Errrrmmmmhh, no. I just think that Na`Vi is not in a position where they can beat for sure Newbee and Secret. What has become? I guess a new team. | ||

He was famous from dota1. He did really well even with no name teams. | ||
