The qualifiers will be held in the end of May. This current iteration of the roster, with Niqua, was announced... 2 weeks ago? Can they get good enough to compete with VP, NiP and PR? Well we have almost three months ahead of us, so maybe!

Alliance (or should i say Loda + Akke) needs to drop the full Swedish lineup requirement or be extremely lucky finding some huge talent. Its obvious neither of them are that kind of PPD-style leader that can make other players great around them as long as the talent is there. They need to find someone who can do that for them. Which either means getting a non-Swede or some new unknown talent that happens to be super good.

Ye. This all swedish lineup is not gonna work. Who is dtafting nowdays for them? Pie or Loda? What alliance neefs is to get is one or two amazing players that actually can do and draft shit and not being of qualifier skill. I think alliance would still be a top team if they would have aimed to get over some top players right away after s4 and EGM left/kicked. Then they never would be in this position. Thats what I think.

I am beginning to seriously doubt Alliance's chances of qualifying for TI5...

I hope AdmiralBulldog joins a good team so we can see his Nature's Prophet and Lone Druid!

Not a single person in the team at the moment deserves a shot at ti5.
They have been playing so bad 3-4months before ti4 and it has gone to even worse state.
Mentally this team is weak also their skillcap is reached the game is on a new level now they stopped improving they aint going to ti5 unless they get invited they wont be able to qualify this team isn't even t2 now.

Shows you how important s4 was to the team. Almost everything was on s4. Guy slumped and alliance did bad in ti4.

Disband incoming? If they can't win against a tier 2 or 3 team, what chance do they have against better teams?

LD team threads are like joindota these days. There are always going to be 1-2 trolls that come into a thread and just try to annoy the hell out of every fan of the team/player. It is what it is; on the C9 thread I just decided to ignore them

s4 was the best and most important player of the team without doubts but Icefrog contributed in [A] slump destroying their playstyle and heroes (Furion, LD, Enchantress, Puck, Chen are all bottom in the dotabuff winrate).

Chen is really viable now a days after the buff of an extra creep. He was decent even before that in an early game focused line up. Games 98 Wins 54 losses 44 wins/games 0.551

http://www.datdota.com/stats.php?p=heroes&average=true

Trash tier is lifestealer (loda race car hero), pudge, Dragon Knight (which they occasionally played), meepo and ursa (loda hero).

What? Chen was thrown into oblivion, just in this patch he found some space back.... but actually pretty ALL Alliance heroes are nerfed to the ground. LD, Furion, Enchantress, KOTL, Naix, Alche. And even io, puck, bat and magnus even if still used have been hugely nerfed since Alliance times.

So its Icefrog's fault that they cant innovate them selfs and learn new strats and new heroes right?

Problem generally is that Changing is mach more difficult then learning from scratch. One of reason yang tent to be very successful some times. Not only they have faster reaction times, but they do not carry memory of what work and was good in the past.
