EPT"We lost 4 Naga games in a row.... Let's do it again!"
I mean come on... It's no fun watching them lose with the same crap over and over again.
Kuroky... mate... It's not working, stop this shit already.

They get gh to come in as a playmaker but kuro seems to like playing 4?? i think that was one of the reasons why jerax left as well thats a huge weakness of thunder and liquid. Misery and kuro the old guards seem to love their 4th and thats just a bad decision. Gh on a crystal maiden - I dont get it. I was 100% sure they will lose in late game against spectre ember. Lina is not a lategame oriented mid and naga + spectre will carry the game in that stage. It was not clever to draft this way. I really think thats their major problem right now. In the LD meta the draft was clearly defined, kuro used the standard picks like cent, slardar, cm, ld and they won a tourney cause their in game calls are good and their mechanics are godlike. This meta is wide open and they really lack ideas. Their coach really needs to point that problem to kuro. Thats what his homework should be. Slardar is still strong, they can play this meta again. | ||

Its like kuro just wants to be unpredictable but end up just making the team really uncomfortable with the picks and they just can't even perform properly cause farm priorities just get messed up and everyone is playing a hero they are not used to | ||

The team looks much more powerful with a comfortable heroes. Even when you know that Miracle is going to play invoker you are still scared of it. Or matu Morph, or GH Rubick... you get he point. As Anamorph said - they got the in game calls and the mechanics like no other team - they just need the draft. | ||

9k or not, Gh is still inexperienced as a support player while Kuro is a veteran. | ||

For example our last win with Naga was with GH on it. BUT that was very good naga game, and they still struggled. The team looks much more powerful with a comfortable heroes.

As Anamorph said - they got the in game calls and the mechanics like no other team - they just need the draft. Exactly my point. Miracle invoker, matu morph are all scary as fuck. Even when liquid wasn't performing well in DAC, OG quoted them as a tier 1 team who probably figured out the meta(prob in scrims, i think i read this off redbull interview). Problem is kuro is just outdrafting himself and his own team I feel? If they are just testing out drafts for group stages fine, but i've seen quite a few times kuro 4 just not working out as well. | ||

Plus, Kuro played most of that game really well, and he kept them in it as much as the Naga did. And let's hold off on the despair for now, yeah? Sure, they may not be in their greatest form, but a couple of close losses to underdog teams doesn't mean much at this stage. Everyone loses to everyone in these group stages, and all they matter for is seeding anyway. | ||

Still behind the boyz, i kinda wonder if they decided to stick with the same drafts as DAC knowing they aren't the best so they be cant be figured out before the tournament begins. (I'm really not into this kind of bracket btw, whats the point?) | ||

They lost it because they drafted bad. Not real synergy apart from hook the enemy lock and laguna blade it. Hook useless against Ember, and very inefective against Spectre. So your initiator cant do shit against enemy cores, and once your mid shows up she gets raped. Rest is damage over time from naga, that doesn't really do anything apart from split push. | ||

They need to stop picking 'almost useless without their ult' heroes for MC. At least enigma is quite useful without blackhole still. | ||

I dont like it - and I would not bet on liquid. But lets be positive - they win it, then they re up against IG. Lets be honest they face the best 2 chinese teams, I rate newbee higher than IG V or VGJ - they showed in the chinese tournaments how good they re. | ||

Both newbee and IG are very strong, and it will be up to some luck and execution ( assuming no one gets outdrafted ). Those will be games to remember. I am expecting 2:1 in both games. Cant wait to see them. Its a very strong tournament we cant expect to play against weak teams apart from maybe Ro16( only top two teams drafted that). But even then if we don't win against t1 teams we wont do shit. As top 8/16 is not really a result we are expecting. So we have to win 4 times against top tier teams - we did it before, we can do it again. Fingers crossed. | ||
