here you can see tutorial "how to 322" look at ember's items, he got maelstorm, bot, and then he que'd bkb, but decided to abandon the idea and buy manta, never finished it and que'd linken, never finished it and just bought crystallis, despite having 0 defensive items.
Main issue is that they dont have an identity to be honest, at least not as much to be original with play style as was the old OG. And they simply were not that good in current meta pool of heroes to be siginifact in this years TI, happens :) I sincerely think Taiga and Ammar are the most consistant in this team but Misha and Bzm do have their "fuck up" moments, maybe too many of those...
Its simply a greedy draft. NP scales purely through items, which needs space and time to gets. And he basically gets none of that since his mid and off also needs time and space. So they leech off each other and all of them ended up poor as fuck.
What i dont get: if they pick NP, they should have pushed the shit out of liquid, opening space to farm and playing the long game. It seemed to me, that they rather wanted to teamfight - besides the misplaces Ammar. Still probs to a 17 years old.
