Chessie seems like a nice guy on stream , lets hope he can play better in the upcoming games , cant wait for the next patch to reset the meta abit , Alliance needs it ASAP.

According to the Reddit AMAs they considered Waga, too. I would love that to happen 8-]

I had to register just to say this. Boy oh boy did Alliance sack the wrong people. Loosing to MYM and AlbumSheets?!

Instead of booting S4 and EGM they should have picked up 2 young promising pubstars and Loda and Akke should have retired. It's gonna be a hard year for Alliance.

That is assuming they were booted.

why would they pick Bat for AB ? they NEVER EVER WINS with that hero on AB , he needs a farm oriented hero , fits his playstyle SO much more , i cant recall any games where they won with it lately.............
the sad thing is that they lost both games while being ahead in the early mid game . they lost Late game twice which in the past was their strength , again , i suggest they stop with that Bat pickup

I still think Bulldogs play style suits the modern mid more than the off laner. He is a good off laner but would most likely like many more of the mid heroes.

since TI they had 2 games where they pick void , both easy wins , dont know why they wont pick it more often, easily one of the broken heroes of the game , alliance are very good at stalling games and void shines late game. (he acutally played mid void in one of those games.)

Sad to see Alliance lose to AS and now MYM. I personally feel like they lack confidence in team fights and therefore decide to avoid them up to a point where they are forced to give up a lot of farm, rosh and towers ultimately leading to a position where they are too weak to rat and ganks are punished instantly. What I really think made them a top tier team (around 1½-2 years ago) was their creativity, team fight coordination and decision making - all these characteristics are now surprisingly poor.

Ok, on the positive side:
1. I really like the aggression that Misery brings to the team (those Mirana arrows in the game vs MYM!), allthough I feel he often oversteps in team fights and gets carried away when the rest of the team are obviously backing off.
2. Yesterday we saw Loda in his old carry style again (at least for the first 15 mins of the game), using very early rotations and aggresssion, which is something that's been working very good for Alliance and feels like what Loda does best in his carry role.

I still belive they can come back to the top but it will probably take several months. Admittedly, I'm also very disappointed by standin.Chessie's performance. Most of his games I've simply put down to nerves and "new-to-the-team"-syndrome, but after giving him about 100 chances I'm now sadly approaching the conclusion that he just isnt a top-tier player who has what it takes atm.

I'm not going to go into too many details about his many evident mistakes (lets not turn this into a hate-on-Chessie-thread), but its generally basic stuff like playstyle (0 game impact) and individual decision making which bothers me. Add around 5 game-throwing solo mistakes and I just can't see where they are going with him.

Still a believer in [A] - but it's getting rough

Definitely need to boot Chessie. I think they have an option of picking a new #2, #3, or #4. Misery is good enough to step into his former core role if necessary. [A]Cr1t- maybe?

#2, #3 or #4 meaning bulldog, chessie, akke then I suppose. Care to deliberate?

He probably means either bulldog or loda could go mid if necessary or as he said using misery as a core and picking up an additional support, essentially just swapping positions around. All scenarios for what to do if they boot Chessie.

Ok! Thanks for clarifying

My view is that they are throwing games they are ahead, more so that ever. They should really analyse their games and figure out how to capitalize on their advantage. Because their early game is often on top of it.

against PR Sven mid was soooo risky , if they dont kill the DP twice early , Sven wouldnt get any farm also , i wonder if they switch roles or its just a one time thing having loda playing mid.(and not with Naga as they usually run it)
