First bans:
Na'Vi:
Bane and 
InvokerBoth of these heroes are unorthodox picks/bans (at least right now)and are weird to be included in the first banning phase - considering that this is Na'Vi. The
Invoker ban from sigma would have made sense as Dendi was able to use Invoker very well in game 1 of the series, but for Na'Vi to ban it was probably more of a statement rather than a strategical move. Banning Bane however was most likely to create space for XBOCT's 
Lifestealer.Sigma.Int:
Enchantress and 
Io Enchantress ban is fairly standard against a team with a #4 position player that is exceptionally good at micro. The Io ban here suggests something about their strategy - they most likely would have a team composition that would be very weak against Io ganks.First picks:
Na'Vi:
Timbersaw and 
Crystal MaidenBoth of these heroes are tier 1 picks, and are very flexible in terms of laning -
Crystal Maiden can roam, babysit and/or jungle, while Timbersaw is a solid pick for mid, solo hard or safe lane. Nothing too special here, but it should be noted that these heroes are very standard and safe picks that do not allow the opponents to read your strategy.Sigma.Int:
Alchemist and 
VisageThe first picks for Sigma are similar to those of Na'Vi, safe and flexible picks that don't reveal your macro strategy. Sigma decided to secure their two support picks here to ensure that they have a powerful tri-lane that gives way for kills.
Second Bans:
Na'Vi:
Nature's Prophet and 
RazorNa'Vi doesn't like playing against split push, so the
Nature's Prophet ban here is understandable. The Razor ban here is very interesting though. The Razor ban serves two roles - removing one potential counter to the Lifestealer if it gets through, and setting up a safe Outworld Devourer pick.Sigma.Int:
Chen and LifestealerBoth are respect bans and bans for heroes that did well for the previous game - these two are two heroes that Na'Vi plays exceptionally well and were very dangerous, so bans were to be expected.
Second picks:
Na'Vi:
Pugna and Outworld DevourerThis is the part that made me want to write this analysis. Right after the
Razor ban, Na'vi immediately picked Pugna. The ban suggested an Outworld Devourer pick, but since Sigma was out of bans, they had to pick him to deny it from Na'Vi. But since Na'Vi has a Pugna, an Outworld Devourer pick would be very risky. Sigma decided to go for a safer route and not choose outworld devourer, which allowed Na'Vi to pick him in this phase.Sigma.Int:
Clockwerk and 
Nyx AssassinThe
Clockwerk pick here was most likely to get a hero with a gap closer for easier ganks. The Nyx Assassin pick was the remaining option to counter Outworld Devourer in one way or another.Last bans:
Na'Vi:
MiranaNot very sure why they banned out
Mirana here. Possibly because of Sigma having a gank heavy lineup up to this point, and Mirana could make a reasonable #1 position carry.Sigma.Int:
DazzleThe
Dazzle ban here was most likely because they did not want their armor reduction from Alchemist to be countered, as they need him to get a lot of early-mid game roams successful.Last picks:
Na'Vi:
AbaddonNot very sure about this pick - perhaps they needed someone survivable? Would need some insight on this.
Sigma.Int:
Gyrocopter Gyrocopter was the hardest viable carry remaining in the pool imo, and they needed a very hard carry because of them being forced to pick more support-ish heroes during the draft. They needed something with a lot of damage and teamfight power for late game - hence the Gyrocopter pick.Final picks for Na'Vi:
Timbersaw, Crystal Maiden, Pugna, Outworld Devourer, AbaddonFinal picks for Sigma:
Alchemist, Visage, Clockwerk, Nyx Assassin, GyrocopterFinal bans for Na'Vi:
Bane, Invoker, Nature's Prophet, Razor, MiranaFinal bans for Sigma:

Lastly, I'm happy you didn't write the ending of the game, since I still have to watch it (didn't have much free time in the past two days, and I'll be busy until the day after tomorrow probably), but from what I see Na'Vi's lineup lacks some "strong" pusher like
Sorry for the late response by the way, but I liked this analysis nonetheless.
