The first game started off rather dynamically, as the First Blood was drawn early on by 
SoNNeikO. Mid was faring very well, as MagicaL was absolutely dominating his lane, eventually killing Clinkz. However, kills were mostly traded in the top lane. Still, a first fight broke out in the middle lane, as Templar Assassin got re-engaged by a rotation from Infamous. NAVI were mostly waiting for the crucial Blink Dagger on Axe to really go for the first good reveal. Still, Huskar wasn't having a very good game, getting constantly ganked.
By 15 minutes, another fight broke out near the Radiant secret shop - the fight wasn't going too well for us, as we got separated from the Supernova by Power Cogs. Still, NAVI were going for their own items, so when TA got the Blink Dagger online, so we had the means to follow up with the Axe. 21 minutes in, NAVI went for the first Roshan of the game - the Aegis went the way of MagicaL, but the fight broke out almost immediately - unfortunately, we lost the Aegis and the fight.
The game settled down somewhat, only with a few pickoffs and engagements around 25 minutes. With a few items coming for both teams, they finally clashed together in the Radiant top lane - we only managed to pick up 1 kill. However, this didn't upset us too much. A few minutes later, NAVI went for their second Roshan of the game - Aegis for TA, and Cheese for Huskar. Having got that, NAVI went for the top lane; enemy Tiny went for our offlane, and almost destroyed the T3, but overstayed the welcome and died. That death gave us the window to re-engage the opponent - mid T3 down.
37 minutes in both teams smoked up - NAVI had a better fight, though, finishing off 4 enemy heroes, and went for the high ground. Several buybacks from Infamous, though, turned the fight around, and this time, NAVI lost 3 heroes, with TA barely making it out alive. With a good advantage, Infamous chose to go for the Roshan, which proved to be a fatal mistake - NAVI were fast to initiate a fight and win it, with the Aegis used up and 4 heroes dead. We streamed towards the enemy base - they put up the best defense they could, but it wasn't enough, as we take game 1.

The second game kicked off well for NAVI, as the laning stage was quite solid. Templar Assassin was exceptionally comfortable against Broodmother, and other lanes weren't really suffering. The First Blood was spilled in the top lane, as enemy Windranger rotated. Overall, the early aggression was favoring Infamous, with the Dire claiming 5 kills rather really on. Despite that, we were still maintaining the economic lead.
14 minutes in, NAVI went for the first Roshan of the game, without much trouble from Infamous. With the Aegis secured, NAVI denied the Dire the aggression and went for their own teamfights. Those were mostly going well, as Infamous lacked the tools to deal with the aggression just yet. 23 minutes in, Infamous initiated a fight rather well, with a Shackleshot on 2 of our heroes; however, that only resulted in 1 death, while the BKBs on our cores ensured the swift death of 4 opponents.
A little later, NAVI smoked up to go for a gank - Broodmother got caught, and Windranger overextended a little later. Having gotten that, and the Aegis, NAVI went for the decisive high ground push. Enemy Tiny tried to initiate onto MagicaL, only to get slaughtered without the buyback. Infamous couldn't take a fight like that, so Lycan opted for a split push - even if it wasn't as speedy as our push, we still lost the top T3. This waltz between the teams continued, as we kept sieging the base, until finally, as we took down mid T3, Infamous had nothing left to fight - we take the second game!
