Tbh, this was Alliance game all the way if they played more patiently and just kept farming. Hell, they could even win without 2 sets of raxes but must be said that Loda is playing really BAD today...
the PL and timber just stood in their base for like 20 minutes and they couldn't kill them and they didn't take out any backliners for like 20 minutes until finally they got the kunka (not before loda diebacked)
the linkens wasn't too bad but it meant the Heart pl and timber were pretty uncontested, there wasn't enough control to focus either of them and no one ever went for the backliners
i mean its not like the ember was dying , you should usually get your damage item in that case instead of a linkens. the casters kept saying "alience has the late game!!" but actually they didn't coz the PL and timber tanked up before alience got their dmg. bulldog seemed to be out of position a lot but its only coz they had no lockdown/focus/dmg .
their best engagement late was when the kotl mana drained the timber and they could focus him

Exactly, he never went for the supports and he always tried to focus PL and Timber, wasting bkbs+ult and achieving nothing, then he proceeded to change target and pouncing (missing it) 1v3 and dieing alone, just to buyback... look at the last fight, he just pounced to kill Kunkka, switched target into PL, died, bought back, rejoined the fight going 1v3, died again... wtf

wow that ravage by lgd cost them the game

Alliance punished LGD super hard
|
LOL loda waiting to last hit that illusion
|
GG, good day 1 after all, still a bit salty for that game 1 vs LGD, we could easily be 4-2  . Hope the best for tomorrow!

A win a draw and a loss. And that loss is to OG. I can live with that.

vs low tier team , we won
vs champion , we lost
vs high tier team , we draw
its an okay result , hope tomorow we see much more S4 axe or mirana.

I was so sure Alliance had lost the second LGD game after the 4:th picks. Then LGD picked up the tide and ruined their lanes, allowing Alliance a chance.

if mirana was LGD mid would not change the result also. imho

An ok day 1. This day will be a hard decider. They need wins...

Good day 1 by Alliance imo. No shame losing to OG. Drawing with LGD is also commendable. Loda's Slark against LGD was funny though.

Can someone explain what happened in the games vs OG? I only had time to look at the games every now and then, and had no sound The first game was so short and the second game they went last pick pugna on loda? What was the point of that?

they picked pugna for all in push, everything looked alright till they failed first high ground push. that draft was creative but zero mistake allowed. they shouldn't give them riki, this hero just makes pugna useless in later game.

Pugna was an all in push strat. Pugna ulti with aghs has 0 cd and instakills naga illusions as well. They held for 30 min after feeding in their first serious base push, which is commendable. They had Enchantress as only physical damage dealer. Which is next to nothing late game. Thus they lost all fights late game.
|
In the last game they wanted to push towers quickly which they did. But they didn't have what it took to break high ground vs the KOTL so their lineup kind of ran out of steam and they found themselves under siege
|
Mix of games yesterday. There were a few poor drafts (game 1 vs OG) and plays (game 1 vs LGD), but overall not horrible. Today will be much more important though. Will need to at least split both matches, preferably 2-0 one or both of them to be in a good spot heading into day 3.

I like watching alliance but man they draft questionably. Pugna all in vs kotl? The margin for error is so small, and they aren't exactly known for execution.
The team comp in general didn't make much sense. If you want to break base, and you do with pugna, why do a core Mirana mid?
I'd rather watch them lose straight-up games than stuff like this.

They did how I expected they would on Day 1. I don't know how Wings did yesterday, but. Heart says 4-0 Day 2. Head says 2-2 or 3-1.

Mirana 1k magic dmg on like 10s cd. Pugna magic damage amplification. Mirana decent right clicker for push, hard to gank mid.
