G1 Na`Vi vs Fnatic, I think the casters are overlooking the fact that ET's armour reduction doesn't really do anything vs Na`Vi heroes. Neither Alch nor Timber rely on passive armour.
The new FRIENDS team playing at Starladder looks like an all-star CIS line-up -F.R.I.E.N.D.S - Dota 2 Team Database | GosuGamers
With pretty much all CIS teams other than Na`Vi disbanding we could see some pretty sick teams. Would be interesting if someone could create blended CIS & Western EU team(s).

I actually ended up in a stretch limo one time going from a work event to the airport because the company ran out of cars
The good news is they were playing fnatic heh
So seems like FRIENDS is not actually a team, just VP (minus fng who had "visa issues" though I wonder if he just didn't want any part of it)
CoL trended worse this entire year, though its hard to know how much of that is meta change and teams getting better. Its funny Nahaz cites their performance at Epicenter as a positive, they came 4th and while they beat Secret & EG, it was during the Secret.Universe and EG.Aui/Bulba which had recently formed.
Nahaz has been coach for what like 2-3 days and its constantly "we" when talking about CoL. Maybe its my imagination but he seems even worse than normal for blabbering when they are involved.

Man, PPD doesn't seem to be putting together the drafts like he used to. Not to take anything away from Na'vi, but that shit was too ugly for prison rape.
Random speculation - I wonder if they have a similar problems as Secret did when Universe played for them. With occasional exceptions most successful lineups have two farming cores and one that needs minimal farm, Universe plays a greedy offlane and Sumail is also greedy mid. Of the 3 cores Fear seems the most flexible, perhaps they need to have him play a role like Mason did at TI4.
Not sure how any of game 1 was on EE. The draft wasn't stellar, kotl wasn't able to make effective use of the farm he was given.

The play of the team around Envy is what makes it so bad. 90% of EE games are him bullshitting around the map while his team loses. On the other hand, forcing him to do something other than farm is working really well this game.
The "bullshitting around the map" is called creating pressure and forcing your opponents to react.
