Is it just me or is Xiao8 playing better individually in NB as opposed to his time in LGD? I mean, respectively comparing when they win and when they lose. Like in the semis vs iG @ WPC, his NP play was sublime (and something I expected more out of, say, iceiceice or YYF).

He played the godliest Beastmaster though. His mid hero pool was always rather different from the standard (hence why Yao often went mid on certain FOTM heroes like Magnus).

I don't think it has to do with him playing better, but largely to do with how playstyles have changed and how offlane in the current game better suits his strengths as a player.

Xiao8's a mediocre 1v1 solo player, but his sense for the tempo of the game, and where pressure needs to be applied to develop the game for his team are his strengths. In a version where the mid hero is expected to be the tempo-carrying hero and the offlaner a farmer (6.76-6.78 being examples of this) Xiao8 had a hard time really finding his stride because in mid he didn't really have the fundamentals to match other top tier mid players, but in the offlane playing a farm-oriented hero didn't suit his strengths (this is why in their various role changes, LGD experimented several times with putting Xiao8 on a 4th position ganking support role in that period).

6.80 and 6.81 conversely have developed into versions where mid is centered around more farm-oriented core mid heroes (Tinker, Invoker, Naga, DK, etc.) and where the main driving force for the midgame tempo is a gank/fight oriented offlaner (Bat, Centaur, the emergence of offlane Nyx and Puck, etc.). This type of play simply suits Xiao8 better, because his 1v1 solo ability is largely not brought into play, but the game still allows Newbee to take advantage of his sense of gameflow.
