Good question. I don't know if they can do something at this point. Don't think they should try, actually. Just disband and make another team
If they were to do something i would say to begin again, without pression on each other, change themselves and do the best as a team. Don't think they were ever cohesive with this line up

Agree, it's kinda clear the synergy is not there, every game is just a confirmation... they don't work together, that's it, time to try something different.

Bootcamp might lead to improvement. Good drafters are not born drafters, Its Hours put into work that leads to knowledge. Only way for them to grow is to learn. So if they refuse to practice they will remain mediocre.
By no means is bootcamp any sort of guarantee, but I see no other option for them. "Hard work and determination" , not only "determination".
Of course they work hard, but what seem to be the biggest issue is draft and synergy, only comes with hours. Some teams can ofc be lucky with synergy from day 1,but that luck runs out sooner or later if u don't put the hour in.

I rarely give up on anything Alliance, but this iteration is the worst by far. Even akke+1 was more entertaining and gave hope for some reason.

End rant.

I thought they were finally finding a way after the small tournament in December and the win against Empire but these two series were just terrible... every time you see one step ahead then they make two steps back and the cycle continues... i think WESG will definitely tell me if there's some little hope for this iteration or faith will be completely lost.

Agree , he has the worst map awareness in all the [A] players history , some of his deaths are so cringe worthy i want to kill my self , when he has a bad start (which happens alot in the offlane) he proceeds to feed non stop and just be a burden I've yet to see him do much for us when having a hard lane , he needs a mega good start to be useful in some stages of the game, again i believe his main issue is map awareness , really bad.

Depressing loss 0-2 against Empire yesterday. They looked lost in drafting and were slowly edged out in both games.

since loda = alliance, i don't expect his retirement(but he rly needs to retire), at least... Handsken+jonass package needs to go. get akke and bulldog back, egm back to position 4. they might secure their tier 2 spot.

Fear was EG, just last year. (he's still kinda there). The difference is only one of them knows when it's time to stop. And Loda influenced me so much back in the gold days

I don't know if Fear actually knew when to stop ... I mean, his injury basically forced him to retire
Why are my allies so weak and pathetic?

He could have continued. His performace would have dropped, and perhaps his team would lose more. The same can be related to Loda.
But i kinda agree, if it wasn't for his injury fear would've probably be still there

I honestly don't want Bulldog back unless the meta of farming offlaner comes back

I think it already is back, in a way.

it is easier and more beneficial to be farmed as an offlaner now. The new jungle and bounty runes also help.

I think the talents, specially level 25 ones, also made 4 prot 1 more viable, and with that delaying the game via rat. Help 1 carry get level 25 as quickly as possible while stalling should be a more viable tactic. And bulldog could do wonders rating with a number of heroes.

From what I have seen of this patch the only position I would like Bulldog on is mid. Carry is often a space maker for mid with the start farm or abandoned since the offlane can contest too well with shrine. Some teams have done the classical three people in safe lane, which Bulldog would fit in with. Alliance in interviews seemed to wish for a more aggressive style which means contested farm on both safe and offlane.

Isn't more the question here if Bulldog would come back?
Only top tier player on the team is Limpp at this point, and EGM on his very limited hero pool he doesn't get to play anyway.

Why'd Bulldog join a tier2 team when he's crushing with his stream?

I mean, Bulldog is having fun (at least it seems). Maybe pro dota it's on his past
