Then they won a chinese LAN (from the lower bracket), where [A] wasnt present, and the people started thinking they have a shot. Obviously when the finals took place, the odds evened out for a number of reasons, but going in betting on [a] getting top 2 or 4 was a lock, while Navi, was a bit of a relief, that they could step up their game. If you go back to this time before TI3, Na'Vi was winning every tournament they entered. They won 3 out of 4 tournaments in july and didn't go to the 4th (Starladder) despite getting first in groups because the finals conflicted with going to China I believe. Liquiddota had them number one in the west power rank.

EG (or TI4 Nb) for example does considerably better when there are a lot of games and ppd gets to adapt to the tournament meta. | ||

You are right, they got invited to a tournament in China and didn't attend to SL because of that. | ||

They haven't even been dominating for very long, there's been far more seemingly unstoppable teams before. Please man, Secret #1 team ever when they couldn't win a tournament. Now that they got one big tournament win, clearly they'll win every TI. | ||

Way too many teams can upset each other at any given moment. Sure calling top 4 could be pretty reliable, but saying OMG give Secret TI5 aegis now is just silly. So much money on the line you can bet your ass teams are analyzing and coming up with counters nonstop. Saving strats until TI5 could honestly be viable if you know for sure its dominant. | ||
