Wonder if they kept practicing after bootcamp or if this is just the result of being back to their old ways of "let's use tournaments for training games" mentality that, among other things, seemed to pretty much destroy the team over the years. | ||

I only saw half the games today so there's not a ton I can comment on. I do know I was unimpressed by Funn1k, as we all were for a while before he left. I really think the kid's over it and they shouldn't have brought him back. | ||

I don't know about Funn1k, feels like he's super mediocre when the team isn't "clicking" but still pretty clutch/solid when stuff is working out. I mean just look at the run he had with Empire at MLG a couple weeks ago. Agree that we probably won't see him get back his 2013ish level/consistency but it's extremely hard to blame an individual player these days on the team, because whatever lineup change they go for seem to not matter at all in the mid/long run. Look at DKPhobos and Fng. They're like 10 times the players they were when playing for Na'Vi. | ||

I wish they would practice some of those heroes you see played by other teams, like Tiny Clock Naga and so on. They already have the knowledge to play what we always see, learning those would only help them expand their strategies and chances. I am saying this since a long time ago, I understand they don't like the playstyle but it will only lead to failure and eventually disband. Let's go guys, hope to see you in better shape soon. | ||

Whether you play worse on Na'Vi or not, he simply dies way too often in random spots just like Xboct in his prime. He has moments where he shines (sniping courier with bottle) and then dies all the time, forcing Dendi to buy items he doesn't want and throwing the whole team back too much. He's a bad support player. At this rate Na'Vi won't make it to TI. | ||

Yeah, they both had bad performances, and Xboct went Chasebot again a few times, so what? Take a look at Bulldog, after getting his ass handed to him at TI4 he abandons the team, and he reappears after Icefrog buffs his best heroes. He is someone to blame, he is someone to point at and say he can't play patches that doesn't fit his playstyle. I just answered to you because you didn't say "pls disband". | ||

But you are right, it is now or never, they just played eight games, C9, Empire, Alliance and Basically Unknown, the first four were no surprise, versus Alliance I can say they would have won with the previous patch, and they won the remaining two.

Blame the team collectively for not having good executions and decision making yet. Anyone following navi games since artstyle returned should be able to notice so much improvements in the team as compared to before. I don't know why people is so harsh either. Yea, he made many questionable moves, life goes on. | ||

I would really like if you shared some thoughts about this and maybe express some of your feelings too. Some may say that Xboct doing Xboct's things gets plain old, but I say he is only trying to encourage those who will come after he is gone. | ||
