As has been pointed out several times during prelim casts Navi seems to win games by winning the laning phase and then just compounding on that lead until the opposition break. And well, for all their faults Orange is probably the best laning team in the world, in part due to raw skill but also due to them almost always picking lineups based around extremely strong laning heroes. Alliance vs LGD should be a lock but I'm unreasonably worried, it's still frigging LGD man ><. With the resurgence of weaver I have a hunch that both LGD and DK will try and lane Sylar and Burning respectively as weaver vs Bulldog LD, something both of them should be very comfortable with from 6.72 (I think it was..) dota1. Again, alliance should be fine but Im still nervous. but the thing about navi is that the team is so stacked that theyre the team that can best turn games topsy turvy in mere moments, which is exactly what orange has huge problems with right now. orange has a small chance but navi has to be on their C game | ||

Na'Vi vs. Orange... You guys simply don't get how Orange chokes on LAN in important matches. Besides which, this is not a year ago when Na'Vi had a skill disadvantage vs. Orange in the middle and carry roles. Orange no longer has an in form Yamateh, nor is Dendi still < Mushi. Na'Vi vs. Orange ought to be a fun series with flashy plays from both sides, but Na'Vi is going to come out on top. To me, the biggest swing match in the Ro8 is Fnatic vs. TF. Fnatic has looked great but they've also looked less than great. They have a lot of LAN experience and ought to not choke, but in skill they're not ahead of Tongfu. Hell, I think TF has a slight edge in skill on Fnatic, so that it comes down to the draft and how well each team prepares vs. the other. iG vs. DK is another swing match. iG has greater clutch, while DK has finer form. Clutch vs. form, I go with clutch, but this math is very difficult to call even though DK looks ahead in the group stages. A day's break gives these teams plenty of time to talk over the prelims and prepare strategies. I think the Ro8 is going to involve a different level of mind games and pocket strats. | ||
