Damn Dota2 is crazy right now, feels like a different team is winning fucking everything(because they are), TI4 is going to be insane.

I'm pumped. I had a blast watching TI3.

I swapped from Dota to CSGO, the finals of NiP is soooooooooooo good, my god...

Na`Vi is good as well, but there were key misplays that led to losing those maps, maybe nerves, maybe just the pressure, even never having played in a finals before, or even on LAN, but playing competitively at a mid-range level I can understand the pressure they were under, especially against the team that's considered one of the top orgs in CS.

That Na'Vi team has won major LANs, misplays just happen, just like spectacular plays happen on the other end.

Ok someone with better knowledge of the game help me out here. USA has been stuck on our side of the field fighting Ghana possession like, forever. Our defense seems solid, is it our midfielders or our forwards faults for not being able to ever convert any of the kicks out of our end of the field into any momentum into Ghana's side or even just maintaining a bit of our own possession? It feels like we are only getting very rare counter opportunities despite Ghana having like a full 10 in our half.

Edit: I'm not even looking for a complicated/advanced answer, unless it has to be one. We're clearly lacking some ability to get out of our half, where is that supposed to come from?

Edit2: Bah, we're really up against it now =/

midfielders can't connect passes, wayyy too low pass completion.

Midfield can't hold the ball so Ghana get to keep possession and use that advantage to keep the ball in the US half. That means they get to just keep probing and prodding and eventually try and score. Also, they fail more than half the passes they try.

The US defence also getting outplayed 1v1 at times. Earlier they weren't protecting the wings at all and letting Ghana power through them. They're better about it now but tiredness is setting in.
