That was a little bit antihype, not bad but hm. Wonder if it'll be a rematch tomorrow.

Well played by Alliance; Na'Vi had an okay idea on how to beat them, but couldn't execute as well as [A] did.

can you obs pro games in LoL ?


not in grand tournaments as they use a special offline server that is carried to the location.
So does TI, not really an excuse when you run the game.

I really hate watching alliance

Do you hate that they play straight up every game instead of trying early game cheese strats?


I just find their style boring. Nothing against them, they play really tight dota, its just boring as shit to watch.

H... how?

I found Na'Vi like 10 times more boring this series personally... Whatever floats your boat.


shit i guess 1 series = total playstyle

Alliance averages most kills in the tournament???

But I can't to keep thinking... why the hell does Puppey thinks something unorthodox would work in todays playstyle.

Also they took Wisp and not a single relocate.
They took all towers and then backed off when they got to tier 3.
Many questionable fights( going in one by one and Funn1k and Kuro tier 3 fight).

Alliance knew they just needed time, and Na'Vi for some reason gave them.


Because they lost 5 out of 5 scrims they played against Allaince in Seattle with their normal strats. He knows he has to try something unorthodox, but seems like he doesn't have the right solution yet.

If Navi was gonna do a early-mid game push, why get Wisp? Really odd... Probably would've been a disadvantage to Alliance if they had Wisp that game too.

I wonder if Fnatic was truly the only team that could stop Alliance. I always thought DK was strong however and that they're the only Chinese team to have close games against Alliance among their peers.

Alliance never gave the the chance to use relocate. Navi may have needed to just try and break the base and force the fight.

Any reason why no KOTL ban? Just wondering, altho it didnt do too much, it certainly helped

I dunno why Puppey bans Bat first, rather than Chen. At least it forces Alliance to ban Wisp/Bat themselves, and Navi can at least have Naix/DS in the pool if they want.

Problem that game was the Kotl though. They went for an obvious push strategy (Enchant + Luna + most probable Prophet says so). It was countered by the Kotl pick, and I thought it would be a better ban than Gyro.

As much as NaVi always makes you believe that Dota 2 is a really fun game, Alliance convinces you that it's a really calculated strategic game.

They did relocate.


I forgot to put aggressive early relocates. They did few of those in fight that did well, but they needed to use it in early game with rotations from Dendi/Puppey.

IMO they should have gone agressive tri-lane and let Funn1k against AB( even tho he plays that hero to the limit, Furion can hold well).

Alliance is 4-0 with Naga.

Other teams are 1-7 with Naga.

Interesting.

How do you beat Alliance... That was trademark Na'vi push and they still found a way to delay the game and make Na'vi scared of that KotL

Alliance farm is just too good, while they lost a lot of t1 and t2 towers they managed to defend their base and get a few more minutes to farm up items on Loda and the bear. That alongside tight play from EGM and S4 totally got them the game. GG Na'Vi played well .

Na'Vi tried cheesy shit in their last 5 games now. Time for Orange+TF to step up under the guidance of Burning. Without that guidance it shall be hard.
