The first game kicked off decently well for NAVI - Axe had a good farm top lane, pulling enemy creeps into the jungle. 
Blizzy eventually scored the First Blood on enemy Brewmaster in the top lane, securing himself a headstart into the game. Midlane was going evenly, with both Medusa and OD trading hits. Terrorblade had some contest on the bottom lane, but was still getting the creeps. As levels started coming in for both teams, Secret starting going aggressive, securing a few kills for themselves.
Terrorblade died twice in the lane, which hurt his farm quite significantly. Secret took the lead in the game. NAVI's last kill was the death of Centaur Warrunner around 10 minutes in. Ever since then, the game was Secret's show. They took the lead in terms of both kills and net worth, establishing solid map control. NAVI were almost out of space to find any farm, which impaired our chances of a comeback even more. The teamfights were going badly for NAVI, as we were unable to claim any kills whatsoever. After 1 suck fight, Secret went for the first Roshan of the game - Aegis for Medusa, and Secret was ready to siege the high ground. The siege was successful, as we lost virtually everybody, with no possibility to defend - GG.

The second game started off without much action on the runes. Phantom Assassin didn't have a good lane, as she got killed fairly early on with a rotation from Brewmaster. Blizzy was doing exactly the same on his Axe without contest, hitting Blink Dagger timing at 7 minutes. MagicaL had a very tough lane versus Huskar, as he kept burning the Salves; Templar Assassin retreated into the jungle as she hit level 4. The first Blink reveal scored us a kill on enemy Huskar, which was quite a nice pace change. NAVI kept finding kills.
NAVI tried to go for the first Roshan of the game, but Secret contested, barely making it thanks to Huskar buying back; Secret went for the said Rosh themselves, eventually killing it. The fights continued around the map, and slowly but surely, NAVI edged out Secret. The second Roshan was taken by NAVI with no contest from Secret. With the Aegis, Cheese and BKBs, we felt as confident as ever. A series of fights next to Secret's base had them use all the buybacks available, but that still was not enough. We took one lane, shifted to another while finding important core kills. Ultimately, Secret GG-ed out, as the series goes to the third map.

The final game didn't have a very good start in lanes for NAVI - Axe and Invoker weren't really feeling too well in their laning matchups. By 10 minutes, the teams were mostly even, with both teams scoring a few kills. Secret had a pretty good early game, as Axe was unable to come online as fast. Still, NAVI were trying to find as much farm as possible. By 16 minutes, Secret looked to take the bottom T2 - NAVI attempted to defend, but it didn't work out at all, as we lost a lot, and Secret took the first T3 as well.
Soon, Secret went for the first Roshan; they claimed the Aegis with no contest from NAVI and decided to siege the high ground once again. That proved to be a mistake, as NAVI were ready to repel the push - 4 heroes and Aegis down for Secret. Unfortunately, we didn't quite manage to do anything after that, since we were quite far away from any objectives. The game went on, and NAVI started to climb back in terms of farm. However, Phantom Lancer has already gained the critical mass, and was able to deal with the Dire team - soon we had to fight into Mega Creeps, and even Aegis didn't salvage the situation. NAVI drop the series 2:1.
