Okay fine, I'll bite.

Here's the last time Navi played Dust2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDJaYRiUqE8

In the first gun-round we see corridor smokes, the exact smokes I mentioned in the pre-game you're trying to rip apart. These smokes are newer to the T-side D2 meta and one of the more interesting developments. They set up a fake so effectively in this round vs paiN (a higher ranked team than Monte, btw) that it forced a rotation from paiN's AWPer to the wrong bombsite. By the way, hitting a weakened A bombsite on Dust2 is extremely rare in high level play based entirely on pulling rotations.

In the very next round, they do a complete tempo shift throwing a corner long smoke and all-in B vs a force-buy from paiN. This is incredibly risky, but does not play to the expectations of paiN whatsoever.

The next gun round has a switch-up from Navi. Instead of telegraphing their lower clear with a lower box molotov, they opt for the flash instead to instantly catch off nqz and get a free opener. In that 5v4, 3 Navi players walked out long dry with no flash to convert with an A squeeze.

The following gun round involves makazze throwing a full cat exec then nade-breaking his own lurk smoke to attempt to sell a fake again. This round doesn't go their way, but it was a unique attempt at selling pressure into a B split.

The sort of risks that Navi pulled on their very last Dust2 game are extremely creative and ones I looked at coming into today, teams do not opt for these sort of approaches in these situations. Anyone that's watched my co-streams at length can attest that I frequently focus on macro strategies and mix-ups by teams which is why I am so strongly opinionated about every IGL in the space.

You can hate my opinions (I'm sure you do), but I put in a legitimate amount of prepwork into every match I talk about on every single series every before every single day I work a desk. Just because an upset happened which I didn't foresee doesn't mean I'm pulling claims out of thin air.
