Two heroes that can push is very different from a push strat. Especially when they usually make Enigma farm like crazy through the whole game.

Well they are definitely pushing this time.

It was a support Jakiro though, and it was PPD too so it was never gonna get farmed

right, but that still doesn't mean it was a push strat. jakiro is a variable pick for them, meaning they are responding to picks and not "focusing too much on one strat". they will put it 3/4/5 depending on what the opponent picks. the main point being responded to is that EG drafts with one set strat in mind every game and that's why they get outdrafted.

also yeah EG can't resist DP any longer

Ember, ET and Brew don't exactly make a push strat...

ET + ember were often picked with pugna for fast highground. Chinese teams picked this duo with facerush in mind, not necessarily with pugna.

Which is weird because I wouldn't have said they done this before. Or maybe they have always drafted with a plan like you mention this but it just always worked before.

I hate this Alchemist pick. Not sure why LD is convinced this is a Vanskor Silencer and not a XBOCT one, but maybe he's right.

^ Rtz has practiced TB but I think he hates the hero a lot.

it's harder for them to narrow down opponent options compared to 6.81

If Na'Vi doesn't pick something with a lot of kill potential I think they lost already. Aaaaaand iiit's....

Zeus. Hm.

I have never seen Dendi play Zeus. Two competitive games. This is a game where if XBOCT and Dendi have their farm supports are going to just fall over dead at the beginning of team fights. This might be very good.
