Has s4 been playing these farm happier heroes lately? I've haven't been following them that closely lately, but it usually has been feeling like they're very much stuck on bulldog farming and s4 playmaking.

With TI is coming up, being able to alternate more between s4 and Bulldog roles seems a pretty healthy improvement if they can pull it off. Is this just how they've done on some drafts or are they actually trying to mix things up now?

Man 2 games we got WRECKED early and won it later , not sure if its a good sign or bad

i guess its a good sign if you can turn around games like that , but we shouldnt lose the laning stage that hard to Flip side , welp , GG`s fun games to watch.

Being able to have Loda, s4 and Bulldog all three capable of playing position 1-2-3 gives them a huge drafting advantage versus teams that are more static and predictable. Add to that where they also share a large overlap in their respective hero pool. Some people say that Loda can't farm on Slardar, but they are missing that he is playing a position 3 role/"in-your-face" kind of style and therefore giving space for Bulldog and s4 to get farm.
I agree that historically s4 has been playing a stellar playmaking position 2 or 3 while seeming a bit lackluster on farming mids and it's great to see him being able to take some more space.

An example of why I find Alliance's drafting to be extra awesome was in game one versus Ad Finem in the TI6 qualifier playoffs:
Alliance's first 4 heroes are Batrider, WD, Io and Tiny. Both s4 and Bulldog can play a really good Bat while s4 and Loda play Tiny. The last pick, is it a Bulldog hero, s4 hero or Loda hero?

Next A game is in 6 days.

In the right hand menu here on Liquiddota you can see a header called "Liquipedia Results", under ongoing you'll find the tournaments that are not yet completed. Click global grand masters and you will find answer to these sort of questions.
