Well naga is op, but imo the teams' approach against Naga is wrong. Playing against Naga is all about creep equilibrium. The biggest mistake you could do is systematically take down the towers, since it is space and time given for naga to farm rad.
Rushing one lane of raxes early especially when the rax is on the opposing off-lane (which is very possible, looking at the game Burning had Rad ~15min) should be the main objective since it does 2 things.
1. This forces Naga to commit 1 Rad illu to the raxed lane, gives you additional creep equilibrium in your favour as well as slows Naga's farm in that mega creeps give lower gold and increases the distance travelled by Naga Illus between jungle and off-lane.
2. Consequently allows you to go for the next deathpush-rax on opposing safe-lane and simultaneously control the jungle.
Once you go for the second deathpush in the opposing safe-lane, ideally ~20mins or earlier, Naga's options are somewhat limited
A. Make a futile effort to defend the deathpush with naked rad illusions
B. Push mid and off-lane, go down into your jungle to farm ( this option makes it hard to defend the deathpush since illus need time to travel down river/jungle to cut the creep wave)
Getting the 2nd rax even if it is a trade with Mid should pretty much be the nail in the coffin for rad naga.
The only game I've watched so far was the one where EG knocked out alliance. I just don't have that much time to watch and would rather play, but holy hell, that was a GREAT game! It was more exciting than world cup imo. I may be a tournament convert now. Although I doubt I will watch any live, probably just replays.
Just nerf her splitpush a bit
just just a bit
I mean her winrate this patch is 53, not that much but still
so gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I just hope we don't have TI4 decided by Naga games
LOL probably actually
support BH is fucking trash and c9 deserved to lose for drafting that nonsense
^
BH got surprisingly a lot done that particular game though.
I'd support tryhard C9 more than a scrub 3-4k mmr. inthisparticulargame
EDIT:
Nvm I might have to change my opinion. Sampsons BH looks so cute.

Wow. Just wow.
DK FTW BOYZ. The draft was hilarious.
Clown 9 strikes again...
Undying legit hero.
So, who lost his rares?
MUH COMPENDIUM PREDICTIONS
shortest game - wrong
longest game - probably wrong (so long)
Most courier kills - wrong (I think it was 4)
At least I got Lycan as most banned.
lycan most banned here as well.
Chinese glory

neewbe titan, finnaly some quality dota
no linkens on newbee
or satanic on luna
hao pls
He wouldn't farm the satanic in time. The mean problem is their team couldn't do shit vs BKBs without Luna and Hao just kept dying first.
They lost that game when the Enchantress missed 6 out of 8 uphill impetus shots during the rosh fight. That shaman got a full shackle off from that.
titan bringer of rares
