NaVi should have not lost that game by the lead they had after taking the first lane of rax.

Na'Vi basically suicided with that T4 push. Magical popped bkb a second before dying and so couldn't bkb tp after aegis expired.

Then some really weird Zayac initiations destroyed their chances.

Yep. Actually only OG since LGD has shown they can beat Secret but mostly yeah.

This is like TI5 Era all over again where the west owns everybody pre-TI then the east overall outperforms them at TI(or at least just chinese teams at that time)

Is WK harder of a carry than Sven


Sven falls off as the BKB timer goes down and he gets slot limited. Though WK isn't necessarily much different.

Weird part of this game is that everyone has such large ranged damage, it really can go either way. Though there's the looming Late Game Enigma timing.

That enigma isn't much of a threat with 2 bkb piercing stuns from the other side. And like all 5 heroes who can stop blackhole without bkb

this is such a bad enigma game


Aghs & Hex will come soon, which is when Enigma gets nuts.

hex is good but isn't enigma aghs just tied with his ult ? anyways doesn't matter

mineski woooon


What it does is make the other team dance around the Enigma even more, while Enigma can wait on their target even more. Especially as the Refresher + Aghs means you can 100-0 any enemy.

Pretty impressive indeed like they won just one fight then they started playing sooo lit.

I think the biggest mistake was allowing that shadowdemon farm aghs.

Doesn't bkb negate all the damage from the aghs ult ? I mean if somebody cancels it

I guess this game enigma played more of the threat than its actual value this game.

Always forgot how ridiculously strong that SD aghs is. Like 3 bkb piercing slows is pretty crazy.

(Wiki)Enigma

Late Game Enigma stacks % Pure damage. It's this really weird timer where your pos 4 suddenly does the most reliable damage in the game. Because Mineski had two tanky frontliners, Kpii just had to wait and stalk the most valuable target. The threat is real, but the impact requires setup. But the team playing against it has to consider it like a tactical nuke waiting out there.

Enigma causes weird things to happen after 50 minutes.
