it seems like na'vi have figured out they can ban out egm/akke's playmakers and then just pile on pressure until s4 crumbles

finals stress might be getting to him. there's no big break for him to pull something out like dreamhack right?

Loda gets the hero he can't carry with - that's the problem.
There was no need to go Mirana that game at all.
I think their strategy is to dumpster bad Western teams (c) uriel

Everybody always says Xboct is the weakest link but he's carried them so hard through both these games. He played so extremely well this game, being n01 farm with 3 alliance following him, so all the pressure was on him. He's a top carry without a doubt.



Hvost almost caused them to lose. I don't see how anyone can say that Hvost was the reason why they won when KKY the last game was the one catching S4 twice in key moments.

Kuroky probably made the clutch plays that won Na`Vi the game at the end but XBOCT definitely played well this game.

But navi lost 2 easy games 2 days ago vs alliance with wisp.
Mby they lost intentionally, makes sense yes? Just like the 1st game today?

I don't get why they went for Mirana, she did almost nothing the entire game

She threw some sick spears, saved people with ulti and ended people with starfall, she did pretty good.


She did very little another carry couldnt have done


they were expecting him to Stay in his lane against Xboct and keep on harassing him.But that wisp relocate completely destroyed that lane and gave Alch free farm
Thy Shall Die Alone...or emm..something like that.

S4 choking so hard, terrible drafts, sub par play. Just wtf, so disappointed.

I agree. He got ganked so many times when he was caught completely out of position.


The big wtf for me was when he was Beastmaster and went in and roared 1v3 mid -- subsequently dieing and doing nothing. His teamates were bot, and there was no T1 mid for them to TP to. What was he thinking? He was something like 0-5 at the time, so I guess he was just on tilt.

Of course funnik becomes scary with the rapier and the games ends immediately.

not really. he gets bailed out by his team mates for over aggressive play all the time. the only reason he didn't drop as much during that last game was because of the wisp play.

Yes. You come into the games completely fresh compared to Na'Vi playing 3 long games. Also, you play less games.

I think the fact puppey is banning all akkes supports and naga is pure genius, alliance look so lost with out them.

Anyway still think Alliance will win with some rat doto now.


I wouldn't say lost, but i hope Na'Vi keeps banning Naga and Chen.

Nope, it was like that last 2 TIs, but not this one for some odd reason.

s4 why did you not use bkb so many times

Could only see alch

Alch is too hard to kill during lasso. he once survived a lasso and follow up arrow I think.


During a high ground break xboct also survived an arrow/lina bursts w/o ulti/etc....it was kinda ridiculous

tbh he didn't have a hard time, seems like s4 likes to jump into tether stuns without activating his bkb

Well to be fair that can play both in your favor and disfavor.

S4 played really bad, he gave away so many kills..



Give credit where credit is due, navi counter initiation was just stronger. they gave bear, and owned the bear.


Navi outplayed alliance, plain and simple.


Probably no more wisps for navi next game.


Terminal cancer lvl 4 (PL+kotl+furion) incoming.

I agree with this, there were some incredible turn arounds after lasoos.
