And here I was thinking just a couple hours ago how the PL/KotL hate could not be equaled, but it looks like Navi found a way.

if you look at the first 4 bans, navi banned bat and naix. tf banned wisp/weaver. so if you spend a ban on chen then you either give up the wisp or weaver. you definitely don't wanna give xboct weaver. i guess if you have a vs wisp strat it could be reasonable since navi don't seem to play wisp that much.

best thing to do would be to get first pick ban wisp/weaver and pick chen yourself probably. i think alliance vs navi should be really interesting because both teams rely very heavily on chen.

I mean Navi first picked chen all 3 games. I feel like giving xboct weaver is a better choice then giving puppey chen.

Yeah, just give up the weaver, it's not really a big deal. Puppey's Chen is arguably the best in the world.

Especially if you are going to pick a doom, I don't understand the huge fear of the weaver.

also, can someone explain why DK kept banning LD instead of first picking LD themselves?

Yeah I think they should give up the Weaver/Wisp as Chen is so important to Na'Vi drafts as they rely on diving with hand of god a ton. Weaver is really ****ty vs. Doom anyway so if they are planning to daft Doom, Weaver really isn't a problem...then and again they might have some sick metagame based on scrims in China that warrants a Weaver/Wisp ban

Didn't get to watch this, but did DK get first pick? Burning is a sick LD as well, but I think DK = LD -> draft pushes around that and pretty weak vs. KoTL

not nearly enough disables to go late game against AM. AM doesn't even need BKB.

what a weird game. Have big advantage, give up cheese and aegis for nothing.

Hanni played awful, after having so much early farm. His item build was atrocious and then he made mistakes like not casting raze to kill cm while in frostbite?

its like they couldn't agree on what to go for, midgame aggression or lategame.

Hanni gets BKB + blink but then realizes they can't really catch Orange anywhere.

Also not sure why they go for morph. I guess maybe to try to stop split push but Morph drags pace so much.
