Also as someone said, this definitely highlights the flaw of the roster lock. Very disappointing. gl to mynuts | ||

Here is the problem, if there is a role swap and say Loda moves to support, you are going to need to find someone who can play carry with at least some semblance of hero pool depth. If Alliance wants to stick with an all swede roster, there just aren't many good options to fill the necessary positions. Jonassomfan has pretty much the same hero pool as Bulldog, and I don't think you want either of them playing carry as their hero pools just aren't suited for it. Apemother hasn't played in a while, but most of his top heroes aren't really in the meta on any position. EGM on paper would be the obvious best fit, but I have serious reservations about them bringing EGM back for a 3rd time, and that's assuming he would even leave 4C&L. No matter which way you slice the cake, there really aren't many good options out there for maintaining an all swede lineup. As crazy as it sounds, they might be better off trying to bring in someone like Black to play carry while swapping Loda to support. | ||

 Anyway I was initially skeptical with mynuts, but he has proven himself. Seems like alliance didn't understand that the reason why they performed badly was because they decided to draft stupidly instead of what's worked for them. | ||

Ay I still remember suggesting Cr1t in this thread, look where he is now Anyway I was initially skeptical with mynuts, but he has proven himself. Seems like alliance didn't understand that the reason why they performed badly was because they decided to draft stupidly instead of what's worked for them. They probably did understand it but they had hard time coping with the bad results so they are looking to change things up to get motivation and expecatations back , the more i think about it the more it seems reasonable that thye change roles because i dont see a better 4 out there right now for them to pick up.... damn shame i liked his play and growth... | ||

The Alliance Tattoo reddit guy said it and talked about some insider info... dunno if it's true, but with Black leaving in the same day... i smell something going on | ||

But Black carry and Loda/Akke support has some serious promise on paper at least. Gogo alliance! | ||
