However they seem to barely win their BO3 matches. They knocked NiP out 16:5 in a BO1, however against VP, they lost the first map 17:19 and then won the other 2 maps at 16:10 and 16:11, throwing away some rounds they really shouldn't have. Against Liquid was even closer going 15:19 and 16:19 in favour of LG. Liquid choked hard on Cache once they got to 15 wins, which I feel they thought in their head that they won that map no matter what, where LG was able to take advantage of that. Na'Vi on the other hand, is looking promising, with 2-0 wins on their matches so far. Against Astralis (who knocked Fnatic out) they won 16:14 first map, which was Astralis pick, then steamrolled them with a 16:5. Against NiP, Na'Vi pulled off a 16:9 and a 16:10. While playing a BO1 against VP, they pulled a 16:4 against them. GuardiaN isn't all the way there, but it turns out he has a wrist issue, which is worst than Olofmeister's wrist injury. Edward and Flamie have been really pulling Na'Vi along this tournament and to be honest, even with GuardiaN's injury, I can see them pulling it along. He still has hit some round saving shots, despite his wrist injury. With that said, I honestly expect it to be a close game, if GuardiaN wasn't having a wrist issue, I would easily say Na'Vi would pull a 2-0, but I'm expecting all 3 maps and I wouldn't doubt if 2 of those maps go into overtime. I feel Na'Vi would falter, only if they start to rely on a single player like Titan and EnVyUs did/do with KennyS or if Na'Vi starts to get cocky like Liquid did on Cache.

After reading this im really reconsidering my choice about LG winning it all but still I just despise Na'Vi so much that I would pick even Liquid over them. However I see a bunch of people saying LG got "lucky" by winning the cache games but if you think about it, Liquid had 15 match points in between the 2 games and couldn't even pull off one win. It took a lot of skill and patience for LG to pull it back in both those games and win in overtime. But still I can see Na'Vi possibly beating LG because of how well Flamie and Edward are playing and maybe Guardian will come out of no where with his insane flicks, however I can see Fallen being able to shut down Guardian. And as for the rest of LG, coldzera has been playing really well especially in the games today against Liquid, but hey I respect your opinion because in the end it's going to hopefully be a 3rd map double overtime win for LG

LG didn't get lucky by any means against Liquid when Liquid had the 15 point mark. I honestly feel Liquid got cocky, thinking they won that map where they felt they didn't need to show their true strength and by the time they realised their mistake, LG already had their momentum going. The people saying LG got lucky are the people who bet on Liquid and are butthurt.

I agree 100% with that, people just can't take in that Liquid choked hard and like you said got too cocky.

Flamie is going crazy right now. easily saved the 4th and 6th round for Na'Vi. Map line up honestly seems to favour Na'Vi in my opinion. Mirage, Overpass and then Train. I'm hoping for a 3rd map, but the way Na'Vi is playing, it's looking like they're on too big of a roll and have great momentum going.

Luminosity win map 1

onto Overpass now

Na'Vi lost their momentum so goddamn hard on Mirage after the first half it was actually rage inducing lol

With a 13-2 half looks like Luminosity take map 2 and are champions

Another Loss for NaVi in a major final

Guardians Injury is starting to show in this Final not having a good game

Luminosity are champions

least i got my gold pickem medal xD

Na'Vi choked this so damn bad. They honestly played like absolute shit, making such amateur plays. After they lost Mirage, they played absolutely pathetic.

And by no surprise, Cold gets MVP. He played insane the first map and the entire team played great in the second. GGWP Na'Vi!

I would've said Fnatic but I'm glad LG won
