That shit wasn't pretty. They still look all over the place with their drafts. Confidence is claerly lacking.
Harsh though to see that game 2 decided by the Phoenix Egg not popping TWICE in crucial situations (by a 0.00001 sec margin).

Bright side: Expectations are low for Manila!

They are playing bad , the good thing they got outdrafted in game 1 hard so it didnt matter , in g2 they had some of the worst laning games i ever seen , Puck winning vs a viper , solo NS dominating Spec + Phnx and a free farming Jug , the game progressed into [A] playing well from behind clawing their way back just to make some silly decisions and unforutante phnx eggs in the end too bad they couldve won the game , but props to AF they looked like the better team today.
If this is the shape we are coming to manila with .... this is going to be sad times for us

I think that just one thing showed today: dedication is a huge factor to win games.

AF are a team full of players who grind every day several hours their solo mmr, that's the best way to improve (Madara is a fucking beast nowadays, i remember him half a year ago, he improved like a monster).

Meanwhile, the boys waste too much time in low mmr games, or in party games that aren't that useful.

That's the real reason we're bad atm. Except EGM, other players aren't solo practicing enough.

Honestly, do we know this?
Bulldog grinds a lot. I think S4 does so too.
Loda and Akke have never streamed, but Loda has never struck me as someone who's semi-dedicated.
He's always been this "This is my career, I'm in it to be the best" and has at times lashed out at people treating what they do as a 2nd rate job. Hard to imagine him not being serious about practise.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but these are kind of baseless speculations at best - accusations at worst.

It's not baseless at all... Loda mostly plays party games with EGM, Bulldog was very dedicated till SL (which they win), after that he stopped his grinding to 8000 (he was 7800+ at one point in SL times) and started to just party with s4+Nara or play low mmr games (international ranked, or some of his smurf at 6k).
S4 stopped for a LONG time to play on his main after he reached 8k.
Akke plays very few games of solo mmr cause he doesn't like it as he said.

EGM is the only one who played a lot of solo and party games (he reached 7k as support not long ago) and honestly, it shows in games, he's the one who's playing better out of all of them.

man that was rough.

i think the general air is that in competitive, their strategy and hero pool (as well as successes) are more restricted to what bulldog's pool is like. which is fine. but everybody else seems like they need to be playing differently as well.

in-game decision making is their strong suit. i hope it becomes one of their many strong points and not just their one and only compared to other teams.

AB plays all the usual suspects in the offlane , he was the bright spot in these qualifiers , S4 was underwhelming and Loda as well , S4 due to drafts AND gameplay.

It does seem like S4 and Loda need a lot more practice. S4 is behind on farm so much... hard to see that being the case if he kept spamming heroes he plays non-stop. Same with Loda, he doesn't seem on point on most heroes, making weird mistakes and often not finding the farm.

It's what I have been saying. Alliance gameplay has not progressed even when they won wca and SL. They have been stagnant for a long time. I'd say they are at the same level gameplay wise when pajkatt and mad was still in their team. They win games primarily because of strong drafts and strategy. They are reliant on winning the tactical battle. But when they get normal even drafts, their poor gameplay shows.

The team has not improved, and I think they need lots of practice. Otherwise, they should just pray that they find a new winning strategical formula.
