Wits was cooking again
Natus Vincere добре закрила третю карту через Doom і Winter Wyvern. Проти такого набору від LGD Gaming вже важко розкрутити свій план.
лейт снова решает)))
Приємно, що в Natus Vincere працювали не тільки кори. Такі серії добре показують, коли сапорти реально в темпі й дають команді дихати.
Класика: одна карта за темпом, друга за макро, третя вже на витривалість. Патчі патчами, а коли є нормальний драфт і руки, то все вирішує виконання.
This one actually had depth
Wits ще й на Nature’s Prophet виглядав дуже сильно

gotthejuice просто брав своє
