They probably can't. Their draft is basically "best of 6.78"

LS and Io is interesting because you could bring 3 dudes on TP ganks. Although one obviously would have to stay behind.

Either that or another easy fix would be that your unable to cast shadow shaman wards inside the rosh pit.

That has sort of been the s4 trademark; get sacrificed during laning, somehow still get work done.

Is S4 still the guy calling the shots in the game or did Loda take over that role as well? I've always thought that S4 having to lead his team is one reason why he often struggles in the lane.

fnatic needed to stop the roaming once it became ineffective and start duo jungling the venge and alch

Its Loda now, but he said in the pregame interviews that they share a lot of the ingame calls.

Yeah, Fnatic is way to attached to roaming their supports. Sometimes it works but most of the time so does it just end up like this.

Supposedly, s4 still calls the shots. I think that's always how s4 has played as a mid. He seems to get beaten more often than not, but the resources the opposing team put into shutting him down free up bulldog and loda.

It'll be interesting to see what Fnatic do in draft Game 2 as their problem this game really wasn't in the draft.

Yes, but the general consensus was that Fanatic were going to roll Alliance with their draft.

Not sure if I want to see the Naga do a Meracle-style Naga or not, because even though it was a wonder to behold it was grindy and boring Dota.
