SK does not use spells to ruin your lane.

Well, QO probably would play naga with a dagger and desolator, so i'd take it

caustic is a pretty good skill, but that's not what makes SK powerful through the rest of the game

He does not, he plays same Naga everyone else does.

i hate the RANDOM ass respawn timer on Roshan from it's 10 minute interval, it's still the only change I hate the fact that icefrog has made. you know DotA Allstars always showed a global message: Roshan has respawned
the thing is i don't necessarily know if i liked what it accomplisbhed. the team with the lead will still control roshan over the team that doesn't and has to play blind. if roshan spawned in a fixed interval, teams would actually be contest it more whereas the current random roshan favors dire advantage (because of the frequency in which you can check the pit) and heroes with vision (beastmater, clock, chen/ench and invoker) more. it's harder regardless for radiant to control that side of the map, no matter what but honestly I could see myself being wrong here.

SK is good because he ruins your lane first and foremost, however.

Unfortunately even QO can't turn Naga into a fighter.

Newbee looks amazing tbh, this gives more value to EG's victory I think Ehome and EG are the strongest teams right now, i feel pretty sure the winner of that series will just win ti. You forget Wings. These are the sort of guys who may just wreck EG in the final with first pick bloodseeker sending PPD into BSOD. i don't believe in wings after their groups and EG has improved to the point where they're just beyond what they showed in starladder with picking stupid shit and drafts. i mean personally, i'd like it if eg didn't win but this isn't the same eg that crumbled against FRIENDS. honestly the EG sandbagging or creating a narrative "chip on their shoulders" theory is really making a lot of sense now. This is basically the same team as last year with an upgrade at the 4 To be honest, none of same EG players have shown same level of play they had at TI5 until match with Newbee. Zai is a fucking god, though. It doesn't matter, this TI is just so sloppy in general. The games look wild and some are even exciting but these teams are fucking up a lot, and every team made some baffling errors. I feel ALMOST sure that EHome is stronger than Wings and I'm still not sure if MVP is coin flipping their way to victory. the meta is such a way now that perfect TI3 style Alliance play is not possible Here's a secret for people with the rose-tinted glasses. The larger the skill gap between teams, the better the winning team looks. Alliance around TI3 looked "perfect" because they had a clean, methodical, efficient style that 14/15 other teams had no idea how to deal with, which let them do everything they wanted to do. These days the skill level of the previous "dumpster" teams has risen immensely, and there is so competitive exposure to each team, that teams have to be far more adaptable and versatile than Alliance was. TI5 CDEC disprove your statement.
Okay, should probably clarify "across an entire season".
There are still plenty of one-tournament wonders that can dominate within a week and across 20ish games.
But a team like Alliance that played the same style, more or less, across months all the way to TI and still dominate will likely never happen again.

That was not the play from hao.

MVP should never play with Naga ever. It's just a trap because it plays away from what the team is best with (and yes I know MVP won Naga games)

Think Liquid have basically already won this.
