EPTLooking at the games during this tournament, combined with Dendi's comments during the DK/EG cast, it really does look like Puppey's drafts are too disconnected from the series the team is playing and he is trying too hard to outdraft his opponents without considering his teammates' strengths and weaknesses. Also Na'Vi as a whole need to buckle down and start playing heroes that make them a stronger team rather than heroes they think are 'fun' or whatever. Their ceiling is indeed 'absurdly high', but it's going to take a lot of #hardwork and #dedication for them to actually reach it consistently.

I also think Puppey is conforming more to the patch notes than what the players at Na'Vi are best at (pretty much just agreeing with what is being said everywhere), and I guess this is most due to the fact that they haven't practiced and played much recently. Hopefully during their next few boot camps, they all play the crap out of this patch and they find their style that fits this patch the best. | ||

Well he looked good on tinker? haha i think of the 5 he's at least playing the best... but yeah this team gets dendi his good footing by constantly threatening the mid with the supports, but since the team hasn't been practicing, everything from rotation to decisionmaking has been terribly off. | ||

Dendi is such a great mid because usually his team gives him an early advantage which he never gives up throughout the rest of the game. With the supports roaming mindlessly, they actually put him in a worse situation and so he has his work cut out for him | ||

G2 against Fnatic was amazing, they won against their tinker/beastmaster combo which is incredible in itself already. Consistency, though.. is not their strength and they then lost G3. | ||
