Analysis of Navi vs. Tigers final
In Game 1, Navi tried the push strategy, which secured the hero Drow Ranger to their side in first pick phase, followed by Storm Spirit, a hero that could dominate the game with Drow Ranger’s Precision Aura.
Team Tigers crushed those hopes by picking Mepoo in the very last moment of drafting phase.
Navi’s defeat was certain when Ah Jit, carry of Team Tigers’ Mepoo, had his farm and purchased Blink Dagger to control the momentum of the game. Followed by his every successful gank, he got his Eternal Blade at 16:35-minute mark. The Navi called GG at the 27-minute mark as Magical, mid laner of Team Navi, only had a net worth of 4769 while Mepoo was almost four times Magical’s Storm Spirit net worth.
In game 2, Navi drafted Axe, one of the signature heroes for Blizzy, the offlaner of Team Navi. Blizzy’s Axe helped Team Navi win a lot of games in this tournament. Although Magical’s Storm Spirit was having a bad laning phase in early stage of the game Team Tigers were unable to shut down Magical as hard as they did in game 1.
By the 17-minute mark, we could see Team Tigers had a lead of 4 thousand net worth ahead of Team Navi, however, Blizzy’s Axe successfully turned the tables. Team Tigers had lost control of the game by 27-minute mark and after struggling for another 10 minutes, they finally called GG.
In game 3, Navi drafted Axe for Blizzy again and Blizzy not only successfully caught his enemies off-guard, but the good laning phase of Axe with the help of Chen played by Sonneiko, the supporter of Team Navi, in early stage of game certainly helped Team Navi to secure the victory.
In game 4, Team Tigers finally realized that they need to respect Blizzy’s Axe, so they banned Axe in first banned phase. Team Tigers enjoyed the game with no pressure as Moonmeader, the offlaner of Team Tigers, was on fire with the plays of Pangolier, one of his signature heroes. The game started to swing to the side of Team Tigers from the 10-minute mark. Pangolier, with Arcane Aura provided by Crystal Maiden, was having good farm and was able to secure every crucial item such as Vanguard and Mekansm, enabling them to win every single team-fight.
In game 5, Team Tigers still did a respectable ban on Axe against Navi. Navi did a very risky draft, going with Alchemist against Team Tigers. Inyourdream, the mid laner from Team Tigers, crushed Magical’s Alchemist from laning phase until late game by using Lina. The game was favoring Team Tigers since Alchemist was forced to go Jungle, but still unable to farm well due to the constant pressure provided by Team Tigers’ supporters.
As Team Tigers had control of the momentum of the game from the 5-minute mark, they were expanding their advantage in map controlling and patiently ganking Team Navi to secure every victory in every teamfight. After Navi dragged another 30 minutes, they finally called GG when Team Tigers started to tear down their base.
Team Tigers are going to participate in The Kuala Lumpur Major along with another 15 teams, after their astonishing performance in Dreamleague Season 10.
]]>Natus (Navi) Vincere was having a tough time in the group stage of DreamLeague Season 10, but has shown signs in recent weeks that they could be on the improve ahead of their match against the Tigers on Thursday.
Navi has found itself at the bottom of tier 1 — it’s struggles highlighted by a 0-2 loss to Team Complexity, one of the best-performed tier 1 teams in the league. However, a consistent performance against tier 2 rivals, such as Vega Squadrion and Team Infamous were nothing short of amazing.

Navi & Tigers recent DreamLeague form
Navi player Magical showed that he is one of the best tier 2 players in the world when his templar assassin managed to harass and suppress Papita’s Broodmother on the second game in the franchise’s most recent match-up.
Templar Assassin is definitely one of the top tier 1 Psi Blade user in the world. His harassment towards Timado’s Clinkz in game 1 and Papita’s Broodmother in game 2 was a sight to behold.
However, Magical’s heroes pool knowledge still needs to improve if he wants to become a consistent tier 1 player. Throughout the six matches from the group stage Navi played, Magical only used Lina, Templar Assassin and Huskar.
Magical’s teammate Sonneiko has provided solid support since joining the team after leaving Lil, but his feats will come as no surprise to those who know the sport. The other support player of Team Navi, Chuvash, should be getting more credit. He has been doing a great job since he joined team Navi after The International 8 (TI8).
The big news for the Tigers recently has been its roster changes. Moonmeader replaced Kyxy and AhJit has replaced 458 for the post-TI8 roster — providing solid early results.
Moonmeader had always been one of the better tier 1 players, however, he could not find a good team since getting booted by Team OG after The International 6 (TI6). It’s good to see Moonmeader finally able to stick to a team and deliver results with team Tiger.
Comparing Inyourdream and Magical in this match, we would definitely recommend on Inyourdream’s skill and heroes pool knowledge.
How will the Tigers fare in Group B?
Tigers can be considered lucky because their first match in Group B was up against team ROOONS, which is a bottom tier 2 team right now.
Their performance against Royal Never Give Up (RNG) in a 2-1 victory was very impressive. RNG is a team that took down Team Serenity and Team Newbee in China and RNG’s overwhelming victories against The Final Tribe in Group B was certainly intimidating coming into that match.
However, Team Tigers’ ability to out-draft RNG with Ember Spirit countering Terrorblade in game 3 is making Team Tigers looks pretty good in drafting.
Natus Vincere vs. Tigers final predictions
After running our eye over both teams, we would say the Tigers will have the advantage when comes to draft. Drafting is always a crucial element for the result of any DreamLeague battle.
Better draft always give the team 70% chance or more to win the match when comes to bottom tier 1 teams such as Tigers and Navi.
Our pick to win is Team Tigers over this three-match series, paying $1.90 at GG Bet
