I have no idea why Na'Vi is so inconsistent. Like, if they CAN play like this, why don't they just always play like this?

Because they don't do this

Na'Vi will still probably lose this because their laning/early game has been solid all tournament but their midgames have been aimless and disastrous.

Secret seems like they do this a ton. They die a lot and give up what seem like bad kills but meanwhile their entire team is farming the rest of the map and even though they're down double digit kills suddenly they're like "ok done farming" and then they just win in five minutes.

I'm watching the Navi game, but I may switch to the Secret game.

I think he got clipped by disruptor ult on the s4 pickup. Admittedly, graving before heal was the safer play.

Heal has a longer range than grave so I'm guessing he thought heal first was the only way to save s4 and then he got silenced.

Getting grave on a hero that's tossed can also be a bit tricky. Puppey might have simply healed himself (and S4 in the process)

One of the changes to TI4 was to scale tower bounties so that DP taking a tier 1 early was no longer beneficial enough to put up with her ult's downtime.

Tier 1 towers give a lot less gold than they used to, in order to keep the likes of Death Prophet from being relevant and recreating TI4. It's easier to push when everyone is already dead.

Also, DP was nerfed, right? I'm so glad, I hated her. I'm also glad Void was nerf.

and secret turns around with a couple tight pick offs.

His post was about how Na'Vi has been getting a bunch of early game kills, but because of the lineups they draft and general poor in-game decisionmaking they never turn that into objectives and into a strong midgame.

Your response about tower gold was just nonsensical.

The fact that towers give less gold doesn't mean kills are everything, you still must take objectives.
