No hero is as cool as the tidehunter. Most heroes don't have one single good looking set. Tide has like 3.

I think it is a mix of both. They probably have had team discussions on picks, bans, counters, strats, etc. to a degree where it has been planned ahead. The Na'vi match may have actually shown a flaw in the iG team with unique picks (like going jugg and allowing Naga through). It did not go into their calculations and were thrown off guard.

eventually all of them, you can check out the steam store to see the available ones, prophet and juggernaught are 2 heroes with a lot of cosmetics. Also if you want to make something, theres a workshop feature where valve will release player made cosmetics and i think you even get some of the money from the sales.

LGD and Tongfu huddle together.

What?
Navi showed that IG brain farted in the middle of the fight. Naga needed to stay out of the fight after the initial shit going off to get net on Enigma to cancel bhole, which obv did not happen.

As shown here, even Ehome huddle together as well. I would love to see an interview with them and ask them of their mindset and what goes through their kind during the draft.

Either one; if they forced Navi to blow bkb/hole (which they had to in that situation), all that needed to happen was a bhole cancel and it was a complete wipe.

With early bkb's in enigma, can't rely on that. Keep in mind their Ds was also delayed in getting vacuum as well, so the integral part of their plan came very late which gave Na'Vi ample time to get ready.

What? Ensnare goes through bkb. In that particular fight, if the hole gets canceled, Navi probably loses that fight and maybe trades a few heroes with a counter ravage at best.
