The SLTV DOTA2 SUPERFINAL is a lie.
Navi is up 1 game though at least, so it's 1 game less then 5. But if they keep delaying it might as well be yeah.
You can not compare this to the international at allllll. It's even later in Kiev like somebody said. What a disaster lol.

wowow! took a while...
The players want to win.
own3d.tv is usually freaking terrible for me. Euro?
Canadian west coast.
And you could do a better job?
100x better ez. i'm like espn compared to these local lacrosse casters. the dude is decent he might be an intern at dota2 espn, but the chick is absolutely awful, i think my ears are bleeding. she's like that blonde chick that interviews the basketball players at halftime and asks dumb questions nobody cares about and doesn't know what a basketball is.
Dota 2 doesn't have a LAN feature yet, so it's kinda not LAN I suppose.
oh rly?
And remember no upgraded boots, this was the key guys so do follow suit.
What carried them to late game.
ya, the game isnt over lan, but the players are right? I think being not at your normal computer makes a big difference. Also crowds, if there is one.
Na'Vi definitely looked a little scattered out there, wonder how quickly they'll bounce back. Even series, interesting stuff.
The Arcane Boots before disassembling for the full Bloodstone is really, really helpful, actually. Really expands what you can contribute to pushing and teamfights.
He got his bloodstone at 15/20mins. Once disassembled do not upgrade again to phase or power, buy that Heart.

Two early plays that really impressed me was M5 shutting out SF completely from mid lane but at the same time, Dendi being able to compensate and regain farm in the jungle. Pretty impressive plays right there..

Glad to see M5 put up a good fight, it's no fun when one team always dominates. But we'll see
Yeah what you actually see players like G do is the start off with early arcane boots to help dominate pushes and teamfights. Then they disassemble the boots to make bloodstone. From here they upgrade their boots to travels to splitpush and be in every gang possible.
Well, yeah, at that point your health and mana are sitting pretty good, so one can generally put off doing something with the boots and shoot higher for some end-game items (be it a Shivas, Heart, Sheepstick, etc). Obvious exception made for BoTs for the awesome lategame mobility.

So what's this about a semi-carry vengiful spirit build? I always thought that was a stupid joke just because she's an agility support...
Navi wasnt scattered. They just got outganked hard early and they got punished for putting SF against a dual lane.
Woo Jakiro pick! Was craving some unconventional picks.
Doable, but not optimal given she has a lot of utility skills (so they'll be more or less wasted if she's spending a huge chunk of the early game farming).
At times I really beg to differ, that fight around Roshan seemed like it was going in three different directions at once, especially with SK trying to make something happen solo in the pit, but without also committing his ultimate to the task. There was certainly impressive aspects to their play as well, but they didn't play as tightly and as well-coordinated as we typically see them.
