I don't know if I would call Na'vi "very, very dominant" at TI3. They could've easily lost to Orange and TF.

Im talking about the whole year. After the roster change they won almost everything except for G1 quals, but there was not enough time for them to gel as a team for that tournament. And at the TI3 yes they had their slumps but also came one decision away of beating the unstopable force that was Alliance. In game 2 they run over them like no one did since they got together.

The reason they are so stable is cuz they are winning everything..The same way iG was..Wait till shit hits the fan and they aren't considered the top team in Europe..We will then see the true stability of that team

i'm positive that Loda's ego will fuck the team up

Also 'Alliance' isn't exactly a team thats stable. Its a team that formed out of players post TI2, did a pickup/kick, and then won. Its very possible it can splinter


? Loda typically ends up on teams that support him well and have people that get along with him. More than anyone else, Loda understands what a team means. I highly doubt that Alliance right now would do anything short of people just quitting the game all together.

If it was another player leading the team maybe, but not with Loda.

You do know drama surrounds Loda pretty well historically, right?


On the teams that he LEAD?


what teams has he lead? he doesn't even lead alliance...

If you're going to point out G2 as a show of dominance from Na'vi, I can just as easily point to G1 as a complete show of failure from Na'vi. Let's just forget both those games happened, okay? Alliance gave away bat/wisp/alch in one go, I would be ashamed for Na'vi if they'd lost that one.

Na'vi by all rights should've won the NS game too, but that was also a bad game from them, and a good one from Alliance.

But that is my whole point, you are going toe to toe with the best team in the world. I am a pretty sad NaVi fanboy right here, but I will never be biased with this kind of stuff. Alliance was scary. Just on another level and yet NaVi was as I said, just one decision away of beating them. Im my opinion you dont separate the team that can beat Alliance in the bo5. You do everything to keep them together if you are ZeroG.

SK Gaming. One of the most successful and longest running Dota 1 teams. It also has one thing in common with Alliance, in that until they picked up ARS-ART (who left shortly after anyway), they were an all-Swedish team.

Also with Alliance, while he doesn't lead it officially, it's pretty clear that he has a huge influence on the team and while s4 drafts and probably calls in game shots, he's comfortable enough letting Loda steer the direction of the team from an administrative and management POV. Watch the interviews, it's pretty clear that Loda does most of the talking with Alex Garfield.

If the players don't get along, there is no reason to stay together. No matter how good you are. It may be unfortunate, but it is the way of it.

I have no problem with that, all I'm saying you do everything to make them get along and resolve their grudges. If they can not do that and can not sacrifice for the greater good that is multiple hundred thousands of dollars then screw it. Find ones that will sacrifice.

I'm sorry but you're going to eat your words hard. Alliance is shuffling at least 1 player.

Twitter of Astana Dragons was confirmed to be fake.

oh i thought by teams you meant multiple teams not just one

alliance is different. nth lineup had s4 and bulldog before loda and akke even came and with EE and now s4 doing drafting/captaining idk how running the team from a managerial really means anything when s4 was always at the heart of it
