Isn't misery still under contract by mouz atm?

I would have expected the "bye EGM/S4" news by now but who knows they may have fairly complex contracts that are awkward to just terminate.

Pretty bad performance from Alliance against Team Tinker at the moment

It's hard to imagine they will come back from this. Alliance are usually good at playing from behind, but that was because they had players like s4 and EGM (especially s4)...we'll see how the match turns out.

Considering the sort of bad results of today, it's kinda nice seeing alliance playing outside of their comfort zone. Trying new stuff and plays is good in the beginning.

Chessie feels underwhelming in the first 2 weeks , only good game he had was on Viper safelane , they brought him to play mid , so i hope he steps up , Misery is playing very well so far no complaints , we need a superstar mid player to win his lane and dominate games with OP heroes, otherwise S4 was the best at being safe in mid while being ganked and having impact mid game.

I agree. They will notice sooner rather then later if this setup of players will work. If it takes alot more time to adapt than other teams, well... they're gonna get behind. At least that's how it feels.

Chassie is the weakness link at the moment. He is not a top player, and should be booted. S4 is really missed, but misery is an adequate replacement for egm.

I'm not sold on Chessie either, he doesn't seem to be quite at that level yet. Misery do seem to be at that level tho, some incredible plays from him. Overall, it seems like Alliance is still having the same issues that they had before and during TI.
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

they have a weak laning phases in all games i saw lately , i cant point to why (not good enough) , but they lost almost every laning phase they played ,no matter the heroes , no matter the setup , they lose lanes , and everyteam against them gets something from their offlanes while alliance usually ends up with a bad offlane farm and AB is on the catchup the rest of the game (and if its not doom . he never does).
hope they can improve ASAP to have some confidence in the squad .

Well at least they won but lanes still looked pretty shaky, and I'm not talking about misery's hero.

Big mistake their disband imho.With all these PR announcements i cant say something.Probably s4 left in his own will,maybe he didnt believe that the elders are committed enough.But did EGM left or kicked?And why loda didnt find better players?It seems their disband was last moment decision and they werent prepared.

Misery is fine. He is a good support. Everybody hypes cheesie so he should be good. This is still transition stage so we can't expect them to really work well together.

s4 left on his own if you read the alliance announcement loda mentioned it.

Alliance worst weakness has always been early game rotation and laning. I think that's part of their decision to pick up Misery since he's had a lot of success in the early game in past teams (Mouz in particular).

He can also help in drafting which is an other area where Alliance used to be shaky.

But right now i'm really not convinced by their play, Bulldog in particular seems to be really rusty, and I'm not convinced by that Chessie guy.

Well, there is a lot of pressure on Bulldog now, Chessie can't make that much space as s4 was creating, so teams can freely abuse AdmiralBulldog, knowing that Chessie isn't going to be "that playmaker" to help [A]lliance to transition.

I won't be surprised, if Alliance aren't going to make it to the LANs in SLTV, that AB is going to be moved to midlane with Chessie being demoted to offlane. But now they just need time and practice, everything is going to be okay, there are still 7-8 months before International invites.

Not at all impressed with Chessie so far, no matter which hero he's on.
