SLi Minor Season 2 Qualifier: defeat in the grand final
The match is scheduled to start at 18:30
In the final match of the qualifying stage to the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor, NAVI.GG.BET will face the Winstrike Team. The format of the match — best of 3.
Yellow-blacks quite confidently beat the Team Empire in the semifinal, whereas Winstrike Team experienced some difficulties in the match against Team Colizeum RU. The winner of the open qualification somewhat unexpectedly managed to impose a fight and was even close to taking the first game.
Recall that earlier Natus Vincere met with Winstrike Team in the qualifiers of the EPICENTER Major 2019. The enemy resisted but in the end, they were defeated.

The first 20 minutes of the game turned out to be incredibly difficult for our team. Despite the fact that the difference in total value between the teams was only 2k gold, the “yellow-blacks” had the Alchemist, which had most of the team's gold. The players of the Winstrike Team acted perfectly, trying to give the least possible farm opportunities for the mid player of NAVI.
After a lost fight at 24-minute mark, our team loses the tower and the barracks on the middle lane. An opponent at the same time increases the difference in gold to 7k.
The game came to an end on the 37th minute. Despite all the attempts of our guys to make a comeback, the enemy was simply stronger in all positions. 0 : 1 - after the first map ahead of the Winstrike Team.

The second game started in the same way: both teams killed each other’s heroes and farmed well. Although, in terms of the net worth, Sven was leading the boards and overtook the nearest pursuer by almost 3k gold. This allowed us to hope for a positive result of the game for the NAVI.
As a result, this advantage helped our team: the “yellow-blacks” did the following fights perfectly, killing the enemy heroes. 6k gold lead by the 25th-minute mark. In addition, Death Prophet became very hard to kill and dealt a lot of damage.
The game ended on the 29th minute after another lost battle for the Winstrike Team. The enemy understands that there is no chance of winning and acknowledges his defeat. 1 : 1 in the series.

A very passive game at first in the performance of both teams, which most of the time was spent on the farm. Except, Dragon Knight defended the lane a little better so that by the 16-minute mark there was a slight difference in gold between the opponents - 2k gold.
It seemed that our team took control of the match, but a couple of successful fights for the Winstrike Team allowed the opponent to make a comeback.
At the 36th minute mark, there was a terrible fight, after which four heroes of our team died. After realizing that there are no buybacks on the NAVI side, Winstrike Team went to break the main structure. 1 : 2 - the victory of the enemy.
