Arteezy farmed and illusion controlled fine, just no way in hell with the way Liquid were playing he could get farmed fast enough.

The naga pick makes sense actually it's really good against liquid's lineup if it gets fat

what they didn't anticipate was getting roled hard

I'm still waiting for your weekly konosuba picture recap

Other than that, didn't expect that we both would get our fav teams in the finals. I'll even allow your team to get 2 games before ultimately falling short of closing up the entire thing.

I don't mind them picking Naga at all. I mind what they decided to do to build up to her. Their lineup needed a lot more aggression and to a lesser extent stacking potential from the supports. The remaining cores were sort of ok but I feel if Enigma wasn't picked they would've been more thoughtful on Universe's hero.


Yeah this consistent DS for universe what is up with that .. and universe was pretty off that game he can't execute some of the vacuum-trump properly at all

I don't even know how people analyze players in a game that was lost at minute 5. I'm sure you just say the lanes and draft were bad and move on.

The more i think of it, it's really hard to draft against TL. You gotta ban Earth Spirit, NP, Razor, DP, Ursa.

And also, FATA has been impressive

going to be honest with you. Did not expect Liquid to crush EG that badly. Not sure how I'm supposed to feel. Obviously happy but that leaves me at 6am not having slept yet waiting for finals when the plan was to just watch first game-lose into ragequit game2 and sleep lol

Lol what..? RTZ is far better than Loda on naga

Rtz is better but alliance as a team its better at playing around the hero

Dunno with the first pick dark seers where earlier they were playing more tide, more big team fight control. Why all the dark seer picks all of a sudden when no one else been running it? Seems strange.

If you think Loda naga is better you literally do not watch the game. Watch minimap when he plays, his illusion control is nothing close to RTZ. He gets less farm from each illusion, less wave cutting, and less damage done overall. Burning is about 4 steps below even Loda...

watch minimaps during naga games


Loda "remembers" to do wave cutting when he's behind (not so much otherwise) so yea he's pretty bad in that regard LOL

But then again RTZ sometimes just leaves illusions randomly in the jungle doing nothing and using radiance burn on nothing for like 5 seconds so I get pretty annoyed by that too.

Overall RTZ is a much better farming carry which carries over to his naga, but to suggest that he is some sort of godlike naga on gut feeling without even trying to think of at least the reasons you mentioned above is ridiculous.

Edit: Also remember a lot of the naga attention for RTZ came around at the time where he was also shaping the meta by doing the mid bottle naga stuff.

Solution

Play Earth Spirit as well,
Ban NP tusk
Pick ursa if you're first pick or something else
ban dp or kuroky heroes.
pick good midlaner that can farm no matter what almost and dont get bottle sniped
pick a carry that can go late, but also fight, like spectre
