Now, I don't think any of his teams' problems can be blamed on him personally. However, just having a year like that puts a damp on anyone's level of play, as well as the player's confidence in himself and his ability and decisions. It's still possible for him to recover, but he's a really risky investment for any team that wants success immediately. | ||

But lets say Secret gets invited from EU, VP.Polar is the second team that should get invited, and then you have all these other teams who have been inconsistent. So do you invite Empire, VP, TT, Na'Vi, HellRaisers, PR, do we even consider Alliance now? There is not too many teams that you can say have been consistently good and Na'Vi as bad as they've been they still won their own tournament, they placed second in the Excelent Moscow Cup, they placed second in the Game show league, etc... So there are not too much teams in contention this year, unlike last year, but its still early I guess there is another 2 months before its more certain. I think from EU team Secret are almost guaranteed unless they suck ass in the next 2-3 months, VP.Polar are also almost guaranteed, after that I think Na'Vi will get invited just because of past success and because they've still had some success even though they've been sucking. After that its going to be between VP, Team Empire with other teams like Alliance, TT, HellRaisers, PR, etc... lagging behind. | ||

There's a close competition for the fourth slot imo, but I think unless Navi does well at DAC they're not going get that invite. And it's really easy to rack up more accomplishments than Na'Vi has post-TI4, and more than a couple of EU teams are better positioned to rack up those wins than Na'Vi. The chances of getting a direct invite based on current accomplishments are slim, and their prospects going forward are grim. Things need to radically changed or they're going to have to *try* to play in and it honestly does not look good there either. | ||

I dunno - XBOCT has been playing fine the past few tournament games. He's generally always on top of the net worth, his positioning has been a lot better than before and he has be adapting to the new meta pretty well. I really don't think XBOCT is the problem with Na'vi right now, I think he's the best player out of the rest. I really think Goblak's drafting has not been the greatest and the supports just aren't up to snuff. One of the things I like (or liked) about secret is that bigdaddy and puppy made huge plays for the team with earthshaker, sand king, enigma, etc. The supports on secret really turn the tide around in the fights. And aside from that - puppy's drafts are great in that it's really hard to predict the lanes. Like in Game 1 of the summit 2 lan finals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRMicZsUwJ0), puppy drafted wisp + pa mid lane, puck safe lane, enigma jungle and timbersaw offlane. A couple minutes into the game bigdaddy has a really awesome body block on ogre to secure the kill. And bigdaddy does stuff like that ALL THE TIME! I can't remember the last time Goblak drafted something that wasn't obvious. I can't remember the last time vanskor went that extra mile and made sure to do the little things that separate players from good to great. I really think funnik, vanskor and goblak don't have chemistry with Dendi and XBOCT. | ||

the past few tournament games I agree. Pretty sure you don't base personnel decisions on performance over such a short window though. I mean it is ZG though so who fucking knows. | ||

But other teams started to ban them and the result is that we are eliminated by MVP at SL11. They know more heroes. What they need is more strats. I am quite sure if Goblak had a plan worth following that required a mid Dendi isn't comfortable with or a carry XBOCT isn't comfortable with they'd practice it. But I don't think that's the problem right now. | ||

Well anyway not much to say, I agree that they need to practice more, hopefully they will bootcamp hard from now for DAC, and see where it leads them. | ||

Once the few strats they have are figured out, there is like nothing left he can do. Right now Navi is drafting : Magnus troll / a clear 4p1 medusa strat / a drow strat / and the wisp LC. It's so obvious how to play against them, and they got dismantled hard by well prepared team. Well anyway not much to say, I agree that they need to practice more, hopefully they will bootcamp hard from now for DAC, and see where it leads them. If they get qojqva and AB the heropool gets alot bigger or atleast diverse. Lone druid games!  If they dont then atleast draft full aggro with a diverse pool of heros, when you know you will not win a greedcontest anyway just draft not patchrelated hero's like: warlock, undying, lonedruid, clockwerk, weaver, techies, kunkka, darkseer, bountyhunter, bane and beastmaster etcetc.Just for fun, pick darkseer and go in a pubgame, you will be amazed how many forgot this hero and loose too it. In the proscene i think the same rules apply, suprisefactors can decide games. | ||
