Well... in an interview Vanskor said Fng behaved too childish, if everyone else thinks so then he will be leaving I guess.

Also, today is not a good day for NaVi or so it seems.

I did not know that. If such talk is already going out then FNG's days are clearly numbered.

If I am not mistaken this is the interview I saw:

i think dendi is overextending himself to try to solo carry the team and as a result making mistakes and playing poorly.

OK, I guess I don't read that as being aggressive more just acknowledging what anyone who sees FNG can see: he's a kid. And few people put in his shoes at his age and his level of relative stature could pull off truly leading this team. Also basically confirming my fears about his draft strategy, being, "make players happy." That's now how you draft.

I mean you don't go "keep giving SingSing Jakiro and Venomancer" but you have to draft to win.

Anyway, Sad few days to be a Na'Vi fan.

I watched the last 4 Summit games (only ticket I have right now) from Dendi's perspective. Granted, the first two were on TA and mid TA is a monster in general what to speak of in Dendi's hands, but today I saw two things. First, he was sloppier than he had to be mid, not just because the matchup was hard at points but actually missed CS etc that he normally would not have. Same thing on SF. And other uncharacteristic errors like that. The second was that past about midway, in the clinkz game, when a teamfight broke out he spent pretty much the entire time on the periphery seeing if he could do anything...and then would either just take off or go "fuck it" (pretty sure he was on tilt past a certain point).

It's been beaten to death but they really let that game go by not exercising their strategy, and then they got to the point they needed a lucky break to have even a chance and it just did not come their way. So those are some specific observations.

As for what you're saying...I think that's just Dendi. That's why you put him on playmaking heroes because it's hard to fight his instinct to make plays. Either way, if the rest of the team is not getting it done he's going to try to be superman and unfortunately it does not always work out.

Welp, NaVi is out of LA

While this is an obviously a bad result, i hope they use it to rest, workout their problems and comeback stronger than before

If you've watched Dendi's how to play solo mid video, he mentions that players are doing a lot of other things like watching the minimap and communicating with their team, so they will not play flawlessly. And Dendi's post ti4 interview he mentioned something about different ways of practicing.

Eh. I was watching his player perspective and during the initial laning phase he is pretty damned focused on the lane and usually basics like CS are impeccable. During the first few minutes he often is not looking literally anywhere else than at his hero in lane, maybe with the very brief exception of the courier. I've watched many hours of his stream and I will say some times his camera is borderline-manic even during this phase but that has not been the case.

Hell wasn't XBOCT quoted earlier in this thread saying for dendi only midlane and two runes exist?

Tbh I'd be surprised if this weren't the case for most mid players, especially in this era where the role is very farm/CS-oriented. Teammates telling you about possible gank attempts + keeping a close look on the minimap should be enough.
