they look like they have a plan , it feels they dictate the way the games goes or at least they have a plan on how to do it , i feel the bootcamp really boosted their drafts , WK didnt work out , but it was a nice try to go aggresive TRI which they usually avoid.

With Dreamhack Summer over I have become a huge fan of Loda and the rest of Alliance, so happy that they were able to pull through on their home turf.

I dunno, still have doubts. You don't drop two games against C9 and almost lose the tournament and be "in form". Face it, C9 sucked ass during WPC. They might got better, but I dunno. No doubt [A] got better, but is it their "TI3" shape? Gonna wait for ESL before making an assessment. Here's to hoping they don't get shacked by China.
All the way to TI322!

They definitely need to fix their horrible laning, but apart from that they played very well imo.

Well. Finals are always a pressure, no matter who u are against. Also, during the same tournament they had 2-0 vs c9. A total of 5-2 vs the same team. U can always "hide" strategies with ti4 around the corner, but not all of them and STILL win. So I believe 3-2 in the finals is a good feat nevertheless.
R.I.P STX 03.08.2013 never forget.

It's impossible to have their "TI3 shape" because that shape got patched out of the game. You can't live off Dire side choice and Roshan buyback fights in 6.81. Alliance has to be good at more things now--and they are--but comparisons to TI3 are just apples and oranges.

How could their shape have been "patched out of the game"? Weren't those things available to other teams than alliance in ti3?

Yes but the post TI3 patch was unarguably full of Alliance-focused nerfs.

I like how Loda had to look at a paper for his sponsors but Akke just reads them off like a pro
