He was so bad with naga during TI5 but yeah it definitely improved lol
What I am saying is he might have one of the better Naga among the pros.
I have noticed some of his micros details which I have never seen on other pros. like laning stage, he consistently send illusions to kill the boar, which actually make him winning the solo lane against the BM. in the late game stage, every time he spawn illusions, he pull one of the illusions backwards, just like people usually do to their main naga. Not to mention how he send some of the illusion for scouting and vision instead of farming. People complaint why Bulba didn't send a hawk to the rosh pit, he actually did, but the hawk was kill by radiance burn of an illusion.
He's improved, a lot. Which is nice to see. Trash-tier dota isn't that fun to watch. It also, on reflection, made Game 2 some pretty damn awesome Dota. I wanted EG to win, but that was one amazing game that really did come down to the thinnest of margins. Kpii's move into the Dire Jungle in the last major fight ended up giving them just enough space to survive.
Can someone clear up one point for me: is Chuan the in-game shot caller and Kaka the Drafter?
It's still kind of amazing the Hot Streak they're on. They only switched from 2 players from a really weak team (that did manage to make it to the Shanghai Major). Though it's mostly built on the Chuan/Kaka support play. Those guys are really working well together, and it gives them a really good chance to win Epicenter. (They're all but assured a Top 3 finish, given whoever comes out of Group A probably will lose to them.)

I really don't understand this comment Like perhaps he's a good player? Sure his naga at TI wasn't winning games but he's a good player in general and considering it's a hero he was known for there was a lot of pressure especially at his biggest event. There's a reason they kept picking it for him.

Its like he was verybad with naga then, and using the hero pretty well now. He was quite a mediocre player then, and is pulling his weight now. A remarkable improvement, and I'm just surprised.

No in pro players standards he was pretty mediocre back then. Especially his naga was actually awful like you'd see better naga in high mmr play.
but he obviously improved so much including his naga . A good player can't be good all the time, they have to suck at some point

29-0 still impressive.
Yeah impressive to say the least. But I dont read alot into that loss since any team lose from time to time. Still think NB plays really well atm.

if newbee have problems dealing with a newly formed multinational dc they should hire a coach right after. they are kinda like mvp very skilled, sometimes poor draft choices, not very disciplined and take unnecessary risks which leads to throws.
