perfect group stage in Captains Draft 3.0! Maybe they can make it a perfect tournament as well as they go into playoffs?

Wow... that was absolutely [A]mazing. Game 1 was great, so action packed, lots of fight and smart plays, finally Akke Kotol is back (dat blinding light play on Venge :D) but boys, Game 2 was absolutely brutal. VP got schooled so hard, it was like watching a truck demolishing everything, some TI3 vibes were seriously given in this game, the boys played absolutely perfect... all of them are playing out of their minds. Btw, i love when s4 picks Pugna for Loda, he always does very well with the hero :D, and s4's Tiny is great as well... well, all of them are great tbh, keep fighting, LONG LIVE!!

WCA, SL and now good online play. They are gonna be a force to be reckoned with at the major if this keeps up :D
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Game 1 was pretty weak from Alliance, actually. They played badly for a lot of the game. However, they seriously picked up in the last 10-15 minutes, and once they showed themselves actually playing on form, VP didn't stand a chance. It's a good lesson: if Alliance bring their A game, they're definitely a tier 1 team, but they have the potential to play below form as well. Most reassuringly, they're showing their same old resilience and ability to mentally stay in the game even when they're struggling for most of it. That's what you really need in order to win tournaments.

I will argue indefinitely, people keeps saying X is on form, X is washed up, X is underperforming, X is the best player in the world. This game is not the kind you can explain so easily, the factors are many and not constant, it hasn't always to do with the player.

We see it in Suma1l, former-former best player in the world (currently blaming Icefrog), we see it in Miracle, former best player in the world (yea, the title changes hands every week if not every day).

People has to stop this non sense. s4 is a beast, has always been a beast and will always be. He may grow old and his reflexes may be slower, but how he shines in a team that is winning and how he doesn't stand out in a team that is doing ok/poorly has not always to do with his form.

Just wait until patch 6.87, if Icefrog turn the tables again, and if [A] goes down I want to see who is to blame and under which pretext.

I don't get it. Are you trying to argue that players don't fluctuate in performance or something? 'cause they very obviously do.

You're totally right in that performance comes down to a huge amount of factors, such as patch and how their teammates are performing and etc., but still - you can't deny that sometimes players play better than at others, or that s4 has recently played his best Dota since Alliance originally dominated. I don't see what's so wrong with calling that "in form".

I just found out that Loda's birthday is on the 19th of march and Akke's nameday(Joakim) is on the 20th of march.

I love how simple his analysis is, at the core of it.

Naaa, yea, their performance fluctuate, but people tends to use only and always that as an argument to justify their team doing poorly or godly. When bad times come people just blame it on their least beloved player and for good times their most loved is always the key.
We will see what happens in this thread in a month if they don't keep up or other teams catch up.

I just like to read something more deep than "oh look who is on form again!", like... right the game is the same and it has nothing to do with it. But you explained it already, no point on repeating your words.

Just look at AB, after TI3 many argued his hero pool was smaller than mine, right now with his two best heroes back in the game and two years to practice other heroes and fill holes in his play suddenly his hero pool back then was larger... coherence, that is what I ask.

S4 has always been a god. Some reason people choose to only remember the games where he choked and judge him from those, notably on several qop games.

Also, s4 was 31-6 with QoP (only on Secret, including a 15 game win-streak and a 12 game win-streak on the hero) before that series versus VP at TI5. I think It's a bit sad that some people only remember his QoP from those two games and not the ones before that, where he could be absolutely dominant like versus LGD at the Summit 3.

s4's is the best QoP in the world, but lots of haters just like to make fun of that TI5 game, and that's kinda patethic.
