Someone must have explained the hero to xbox durin the break. =P
"Hey Xbox, you know Naga? Use her ult." "Oh, okay."
20min gg -.-
(joking)
Just amazed by the turnaround, I was worried that iG got the same draft, but Na'Vi played against a Naga / DK that looked really strong before, so thought they might pull it off, but not that overwhelmingly.
In the first game he wasted illusions and riptide completely.
Now it was textbook ult -> illu -> ds vacuum -> ult off -> riptide.

All she offers is a good Aoe Nuke, an unreliable stun and a descent escape. Also she can't hardlane or midlane currently and on a safelane/trilane she will lose to much exp to be useful later on. It's pretty much the same with Shadow Fiend.
One team was playing her as support, i forget who. How things have changed from last year
it was coL, they actually beat Na'vi with it in the prelims. They played her as a roaming ganker, and just ran around the map landing arrows on people lol

guess it's not imbalanced when the team you want to win uses it.
Na'vi demolished the chinese when they chinese used it, Na'vi just demolished the chinese when na'vi used it, and na'vi fans cant be happy about it? lol

1) Yes, that's partly true. 2) The boos were from times when Na'Vi was going on the attack, then the siren's song was just used to shut them down and run away, totally ruining the excitement. Na'Vi sure wasn't running this game. It wasn't about imbalance, it was about entertainment.

welcome to any competitive event where people have favorite teams. You're going to have a bad time.

Not many teams actually drafted the combo properly. That sleep can be just as bad for you if they know how to play it.

Thats why everyones jaw dropped when they gave away Naga and DS for the first time yesterday.
