And once that happens - in 60 mins you got a lot of problems. As we've seen yesterday Kuro was dealing more damage with #4 riki than Miracle was with his mid hero. So once you make a couple of mistakes midgame and the enemy catches some air you have big problems with your naga - suddenly your split push is not that strong and the enemy supports don't have to instantly run from your illusions. Once that happens you can't force enemy cores to stay in base to defend and then you let them farm, push and ambush you. Every good team can and will find your naga and then you have 4 underfarmed heroes to defend - not very useful. Maybe they way to do Naga now is the old fashioned way - to rely on combo after naga sleep instead of splitpush with heroes like Dark Seer and Disruptor - sleep into Vacuum wall + Disruptor combo = easy win. This way the enemy will be scared to teamfight you and they will be splitted and this will help the splitpush game too... Don't know... they probably really own with it in scrims i don't see any other reason for them to keep picking it. But honestly game two last night looked way better for the team when all the cores got their signature heros - Jugg for miracle, Wolf for Matu and NP for MC. Also kuro played an awesome Monkey King - very good game. Mistakes were made, but in the end the angry wolf catched the tinker couple of times and gg. | ||

Too bad after that is iG which I dont see them getting through at all unfortunately. yeah iG is hard for sure but frankly speaking there's a lot of teams I'd say are about equally hard above us in seeding. I don't think playing vs OG or EG (actually we have a better score than EG but still) would make it any better for us to give an example. And there are only so few teams left you can run into in the group of 8  Oh well, one game at a time. Need to get through Newbee first | ||

I mean in all the Naga games there were one too many misplays they didn't play so well around it. Also when you looked at GH Naga it's still better than Miracle Matu naga. It is still possible they've just not executed at their best, got it too many misplays and we will see it again. Kuro isn't retarded, he must know something we don't and that very likely is that he was dominating scrims loads vs good teams on naga and/or losing to it. | ||

They really need to start thinking about kicking Kuro. Otherwise they will never a tier-1 team again. | ||

Even with that draft they almost made it. Matu was 1 manta away from being able to be relevant. But some bad luck kicked in. Too many factors... | ||

Kuro is an old guard who can't keep up with current metas. This has been a problem for a long long time and no fix seems to be there. I didn't even watch the game 1 vs Newbee after I saw the draft. Everyone knew the match was over after the draft. They could have GGed it there. | ||

Edit: I think both MC and GH can play playmakers fine, the team just never seems to come together in the laning stage like they used to in the FATA days. They used to get 6 on Matumba get a kill with ult and push down a tower. I know that wouldn't work in the current meta, but they just don't seem to have any tempo based teamplay like that these days. | ||

They keep losing and losing. When a 4k trash like me sees it immediately after the draft they have NO change of winning there is a huge problem. How on earth the team though they a change in the game. They should go back to classic drafts. Drafting like this just means insta lose. You don't have to genius to see that. 1st phase Naga coming in the game2? | ||

We just lost lanes too hard when we really should not have lost them as badly as we did. We just never recovered from that and newbee played damn well | ||
