After last game this seems very doable! Somehow a TI main event wouldn't feel right without alliance

Well, it sucks.
Usually, after team gets blown up at big LAN, i have to ask about disband but this time - no.

Hope, noone retires and they just move on.
Thanks for existing! <3

At least it all ended with some delicious ratting.

This is just depressing! =/ Groupstages are fun to a certain extent, but I kinda feel true skill lies in bo3/bo5. Being able to adapt if you make mistakes in the next game etc.
This last game was really really intense and emotional. But considering the drafts Alliance made during the first 3 days, they kinda deserve to be where they are now. I don't blame them for trying new stuff, they might be on to something really great but just haven't had the time to perfect it, but they realized too late that they had to fall back on what they know.

It's really depressing...

Good night.

pretty dissapointing by Alliance tbh, I hope they can do better in whatever tournament is next. I just really hope there won't be any players leaving the team.

Alliance are now in a tie-breaker for 12th place (10 000$), so we'll see them again.

Nothing wrong with going out in a game as good as this. I would be (pleasantly) surprised if there is a game better than this one for the rest of the tournament.

Get out of this thread?
On a serious note, this isn't the first time in their history where they've had to play without Wisp and Furion and they've still won a lot of tournaments etc. Granted though, I think they lack confidence in playing a straight up game vs top tier teams. Ironically I think they have some of the best teamfight coordination in the world. I can recall some SICK Kunkka and Dark Seer games where they've blown teams out of the water with perfect teamfight combos.

Unfortunately though, if you lack confidence you go back to the stuff that's worked out for you earlier; in this case rat dota/split push. Had they gotten 1 or 2 wins more in day 1 I think they'd been playing a totally different style.
The mental/confidence aspect is big.
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.

Well after watching the games vs navi and eg i think maybe they were hiding the naga for later.So they disqualified because they were greedy and keep naga for ''later''.They played very well against eg and navi there is no way they couldnt advanced if they had used naga earlier.
I m not very sure if they knew that their naga is good from the beginning or find it out later, a journalist must ask them.But personally i think they knew.So expensive mistake after all cost at least 100k for each player.They shouldnt have taken that risk.
Anyway gg alliance, better luck next year.

I feel the same way , they shuoldve went for Rat , or their wombo combo lineups (DS/Kunka) and the likes , too bad they never play Tide/Void and the best hero today -> ENIGMA , they got rekt by this hero more often then not in the group stages ,i dont understand why Akke wont play it , fastest jungler , amazing late game , amazing farm. fits into the 3.5~ cores lineup these days.
Zea!

Just watched the last two games... the game vs EG was heartbreaking, i don't mind if Alliance lost, they are the team who bring so many emotions to this game, hope they'll keep fighting! Road to TI5 has already begun, Alliance <3

Just got home from my vacation, as a fan and a fellow swede it makes me really sad to see that they didn't get past the group stage. Unexpected =/. Hope they can rally and come back as a dominate dota force.
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Not going past the first real phase is embarassing, to say the least.
