so you admitted you were a troll? :/...

Btw, i still don't understand the logic behind this, wasn't better to drop the nip trio and bring akke+synd+xcal to the team? This makes 0 sense

I have my doubts but good luck guys! Hope Pablo can surprise us and bring Alliance to the good ol' days.

To the previous posters that didn't read the statement - Pablo will mainly play pos 4 and not Handsken. That is a good thing I would say, let's see tonight before the usual-negative-rather-see-them-loose-then-win-just-to-be-right-with-whine. >

Pos 4 or 5, doesn't make any difference. Still the same typeof player as egm. He better be a star drafter or this changes nothing.

A good pos 4 roamer can make a big difference, Handsken often didn't have much impact on such heroes but of course sometimes he did good. It remains to be seen, just funny how ppl are so certain in their predictions for this new addition without seeing it in action. Not saying that it will definitely be an improve, but have to wait and see today.

Ofc stuff can turn out other than projected, that's not the point. I've seen them play with Pablo earlier and he doesn't bring more to the table then egm. Same position, same play style. The point is that it was a pretty stupid change and from lodas perspective, Pablo HAS to have more than just a good position 4 roamer. That is not what was crucial and lacking in the team. We saw their power when they had synergy and made right calls and right drafts. But there were no consistency to it. We need better draft all round and better desicion making in all games throughout the game. I can't see Pablo doing that.

Changing a red chair for another red chair won't change the setting in the dining room.

But ofc it might turn out differently. Odds are against it tho.

Edit: I'm not saying a good position 4 roamer csnt/won't make any difference. I'm saying it won't make any difference in this particular team.

Last time Pablo played with alliance (at least as far as I know) it was with the old squad. The game has changed a lot since and also with the most recent patch, which I want to believe fits their play style somewhat better. When EGM was with the team he mostly ended up on 5 pos anyway which probably took away some potential. I guess loosing a lot doesn't do anything good for your morale as a team, I can only hope that this will at least "reset" them in some way but yeah.. hard to say.

That's my point exactly. He mostly "ended up",stuff like that happen when a team make bad choices. Very often they (handsken egm) swapped between 4 and 5, during the same game even. That's not a gameplan. It's a lack thereof.
But we'll see.

I'm not arguing to be right, I'm frustrated because I don't understand the thought around it. Maybe it's a new spark like yousaid, but loda also stated they would stick together.

It was very surprising too see EGM go and we of course don't really know all the details, if it was somewhat mutual or not, he did pull the other team together rather quickly thou so maybe something was already in the works if the LAN wouldn't work out. One thing I can think we can say at least to not have Handsken on Pos 4 is hardly a bad thing, even thou i'd rather see EGM in the team and having him on that position. Hopefully they will do what's best for the team now (Not taking into account of letting EGM go), as i suspect that Handsken just wanted to play pos 4 and had it as some sort of demand even if it not good mostly.

Almost a small scare there when they almost wiped. I think Pablo did a good game, he missed fissure block or two but the echo slams where on point. Jonas had a really rough start but he recovered well and had good impact in regarsd to locking down the TB.

You assume that they want to play with LodA as carry. I mean it says a lot to me when Akke himself doesnt want to play with Loda, and chooses EGM + Synderen ahead of him.

Lulda less GPM than Tide as a safe lane carry Spectre and they were ahead like 80% of the game? Hos is that even possible...Like no wonder you lose a won game
