It's about time!
Although, to be fair, hitting 7k while primarily playing offlane is quite tough.

Considering how often people say about how you can't cheer for a team in esports cause they change their roster every 5 mins so you get attached to player rather than a team most often. Atleast with alliance you have a team to follow.

alliance is an average-at-best team that had the optimal strategy figured out for patch 6.78 (and still almost lost TI)


bringing back their old lineup isn't going to bring back the insane strategical advantage they had over most teams at TI3

And this too.
I'm fairly certain though that they realize this as well. They don't seem to think of themselves as mechanically superior to other teams. Loda has on numerous occasions stated that one of the reasons they did so well in 2013 was that they were innovative and unafraid to try try different stuff - that kept them one step ahead of their opponents.

(Personally I think Loda is giving himself a little too much credit, they were not THAT innovative but whatever. I'll grant him that they were unafraid to try ballsy stuff from time to time, with everything from Blitz Push to Fake lvl 1 Roshan etc.)

What I'm mostly excited about though is:
1. Seeing if they can find their chemistry again (Akke+EGM really clicked in 2013 and EGM+Bulldog too, especially with map control plays).
2. The extended hero pool EGM brings: Rubick, Shadow Demon, Sand King, Support WR, Earthshaker, AA, Naga etc... Not to mention his beastly Wisp.
3. Dem feels. Let's be real here; there's a lot of nostalgia in this one.


Most of their innovation during that time period was how to get farmed support, and understanding that if you have 4 heroes farming as 3-5 of their heroes ganked 1 hero then you were gaining more than them in long run. All these things have changed or are just standard parts of the game now. Biggest problem I feel is alliance strength is generally skirmish type fights and late game decisions, but the games end faster in general, and 5v5 fights become more relevant so far, so unless next patch tones that down I'm hoping that alliance can just figure out 5v5 fights more

Is there some decay or something? Or how does it work? Just get knocked out, or get a "sleepy" status if you dont play?

From the leaderboards page:
Who is eligible to appear on the leaderboard?
To qualify, a player must have all of the following:
At least 300 lifetime matchmade games played. (Unranked or ranked PvP matches only.)
At least 100 lifetime solo ranked games
At least 15 solo ranked games in the last 21 days in the same division
Official player info on file


So basically, unless you play a decent amount of solo ranked games, you fall off the leaderboards even if your MMR doesn't go down. There is no MMR decay.

So we don't know his mmr, because he isn't on the leaderboards anymore, because he hasn't played enough solo queue recently.

Right. So if he starts to play, and reaches 15 solo games within the last few days, he'll be back up (with the current loss/win ration calculated into the mmr i suppose)? Seems good enough. A players should do what BD does and s4 did, just for keeping the basic routines sharp.

Hoping that the patch goes live before WCA! If not, then the patch will drop during the tournament itself.

To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

EXCITING! Do we get to see S4 Puck? Maybe S4 bat with Aether Lens and 320 range on lasso? Has Akke kept his Chen fresh enough to play the most buffed hero of the patch? Can we herald the return of Nature's Donger?

Hype. Alarm set to the first match. Rip eu-morning.

First win of many! Though the real test has yet to come, a nice start nonetheless.
