Still I get bluzi's point. There's more than enough time for alliance to learn heroes (akke aside since I think he has his own project). I think the major issue isn't that alliance doesn't know how to play them, but that they are try to find their own strategy instead of following the meta. Its not even the Meta anymore Duck , they got desperate vs OG with that LD first pick, it was sad to see really , when i saw it i almost wanted to close the stream , it was them giving up almost.
I don't like LD Picks either, but A really farmed well and had composure that game. That t1mid tower jump kinda turned the game. That's when they lost judgement. I think that was more the issue that game rather than LD pick. They even made LC work. They got a head of themselves and it cost them.

If OG are playing this well (beating Newbee) then perhaps Alliance isn't doing too badly...
Its going to be interesting against Secret tomorrow, I have no idea who to root for as I love both teams :/

True they farmed well ,but until that point there was no fights as Alliance dodged them nicely , but once they started coliding the game finished 30-6 or something , it was only smoke and mirrors due to some small gold advantage , but this draft was not wining vs OG draft ever.

BO 3 vs Secret
They really need this for motivation

Well a good fight instead of a terrible one would lead to a bigger lead, and who knows what happens next. The gold lead after a good encounter wud've made it easier to get more pick offs, which is needed for LC.

It's a tense as hell match.  Knockout, vs secret, :D Cudn't get better.

Its way too stressful , I hope for a good draft in the 3rd game , for once let me sit back and have us outdraft a team and enjoy , usually its even drafts or we are on the back foot , like this game with Void/Slardar/Bat as our cores , all 3 initiators , Void even screws up the other 2 abilities :S , If we had a Tinker player i feel it will been great this game to prolong it , when they went Drow Last pick.

Feeling the tension releasing Makes me wonder tho, how this game wud've paced out without that amazing start.

nice they got through , but there is some sloppy execution , the game should have ended early
|
Team isn't worse then Secret, nice.
|
My guess, way to finals would be Newbee -> EG -> TL (yes I hope OG fekkin wins considering the group play) and eventually OG in finals. Gonna be a real hard rout Even coL again instead of EG would be rough I feel. Each game will be tense tho, so.

Man Newbee next , thats going to bring us down a notch , one thing i want to say is that [A] are a Lan team , they always play their best at Lans , so i dont think Newbee will roll us even though they are clear fav for this series.
|
GG!
I hope they beat Newbee next
|
Wow this was such an important win, I feel like they can get out of the tournament with hope, even if they will (most likely) lose to Newbee

They need to stop being so predictable and play the strong heroes of the patch instead of handicapping themselves , not been able to run :
1. Eart Spirit - easiest hero to learn , not sure how they pass on such an amazing support option.
2. Invoker - still not able to play the hero , which in some drafts is amazing.
3. Ember Spirit- unreal that this hero is not playable by alliance , just unreal.
4. Tinker - same , easy hero for a good mid.
5. Bounty #4 vs junglers.
Ce la vi.
