The day Navi decided to never pick Warlock again.

I don't think Warlock cost them the game, though. Some great uses of Upheavel here and there, and them Fatal Bonds did work.

Of course, it was Warlock that got caught in the jungle and allowed Quantic to take top barracks, but that's a non-related matter :P
 
Game 1 was always going to be questionable for whoever won due to the lag issues. But G'damn am I satisfied with these team fights and that this isn't going to be a quick 2-0.
 
If Quantic hadn't raxed when they did, the game was basically Na'Vi's for the taking. All that farm on AM, but he was seldom able to cross the river, go deep, and pressure. Great ganks and fights from Quantic gave them openings to capitalize on their map control.

And yeah, the Warlock pick by no means cost them the game. They utilized him well.
 
Just woke up. The comments on this thread make the first game sound epic. Can't wait to watch the replay!

Edit: 1-1? I missed two games. :(

He's pretty useless late game which where the game was always going.

Upheavel was pointless after awhile, bkb on Brood, Mirana can leap, NP can TP in anywhere, ES would blink in ulti and use his skills.

Like the strat was for him to bkb and channel Upheavel but it was never going to be pulled off late game.
 
Not so sure meaning you're not sure it'd have changed anything, or not so sure about whether or not the cheese was missing?
Not so sure, it'd have made as big of a difference as big as them winning or losing, considering their base was being destroyed by super creeps, and the SK got ganked and chained CC'd to death, leading to their bottom rax dying.

Dude was paper thin against that MKB Mirana.
Still better than KPop.
No one denying this, most K Pop is garbs, but then again most pop music is garbs.
 
That VS pick could prove rather significant. Protects Enigma from one of his biggest counters, and Shadow Shaman can't rely on a BKB to get a full channel of Shackles off. Potentially huge if the Shackled target is Antimage.
