By the way, what opponent do we prefer for the next BO3? LGD or Complexity (if I understood the brackets correctly)?

Yeah. Question is: Did we prefer LGD?

Anywho: What points should be kept in mind vs Complexity? Drafting? Strategy?

Beware of the NIP revenge! To be serious....Brewmaster is a common pick up for Col and they do well with it, enigma is to be feared, they like others have started to play a lot of tidehunter, they love IO and Tiny is Linmp's best hero at the moment. Lone druid is also a favored pick but for safe lane carry.

Great game today. Just watched it and they mostly nailed their game plan with some minor mess ups here and there. Overall performance was high enough to offset them though.

Nice to see Alliance still has that killer instinct for getting rax when the other team overextends on the wrong half of the map.

Lucky about the draft though. Getting Io + Tiny with enchantress and bat. Signature heroes galore.

Io hasn't been banmaterial the entire tournament tho. Maybe a game or two. Also, banning those you mentioned leaves LD, Chen and NP in the pool, also signature heroes. Hard to ban correct vs A atm.

EG/secret

are you sure on that?

I was actually hating on the brackets for sending Alliance in the top lower-bracket half as well as the other 3 where they ended up because that would just mean you get a repeat of the upper bracket matches: assume TL loses vs MVP, if TL gets in the upper half we'd have Alliance vs TL again. Or Secret losing vs EG, we get a repeat of Secret vs OG which just sounds stupid. Let teams have a crack at the other half of the tree by swapping around a bit imo...
(looking at stuff on Liquipedia, no idea if it looks different on some official site)

So if you're right, yay, that sounds good o/

What a fucking tense game guys, that was amazing, the buyback into rax was pure genius, i love when we got our trademark heroes, EGM's wisp is something else. Joakim and Henrik played flawlessly, such beasts... Loda recovered very well from a rough start. If s4 starts to play at his full potential, well, future is bright ahead us. Don't worry Gustav, don't feel the pressure of the event, we LOVE YOU :D!! Just free your mind

Heart attack game no doubt , S4 is not up to his usual standard , i hope now its a BO3 and top8 he can relax abit and play his best , also they should run that OP dumb hero of the patch OD mid , i bet S4 can play this right click hero , i wouldnt want to let the enemy get it for a puck or bat , its not worth it i feel .....
We will get Akke Ench again for sure as Col prioritize Enigma so we can pick greedy , i hope to see some Loda spectre as well , i think we run it really well. no LD/NP probably as Col will contest it as well (Chessie plays them i belive).
should be doable in a Bo3 , LETS DO ITTTTTTT

I don't think S4 on OD suits Alliance playstyle. They base their game on having him be the initiator and tempo setter. If he is on OD he is instead the carry. Banning OD as one of their two (unless they have a counter strat for that specific hero) is probably the best idea for them.

Hard lose to Col (who played well ill give them that) , Sad thing they fought like LIONS to get back into the game and when they actually turned it around completely (won everyy 5 man fight in the last 15 min) , they went in to take rosh when they had 0 ulti and low health against relocate IO , just a shame , really , they ALMOST had it .
Hope they dont get too demorilized and keep it going , still the best team to watch.

Pretty sure they won't because if they were to kick someone, what other options do they have that's not a downgrade? Also their performance wasn't that bad tbh, Col is obvously a super legit team so although it was an upset it wasn't a huge one.

A minor point regarding Alliance drafting.
http://stats.noxville.co.za/hero/best-runs-elo?patch=6.86

73,3% win rate on OD. Highest ELO change in the tournament of the common heroes. Probably has bigger impact than Earth spirit.

with that retard draft last game , 1-8 early game .. they did amazing job come back..
but i dont understand why they dont have patience , i thought they go play rosh only to draw buy back and flee, but they fought and lose.

their performance is good but not their decission making (shot caller ?)
