Alliance playing a really solid game right now vs Empire, not using any minus armor/Treant shenanigans.

Feel like the team still needs time to reach its full potential and expand on their strategic options. People shouldn't be so hasty to jump to conclusions.

Plus they're going to play Starladder, Dreamleague and ESL. Not sure how good it is to play too many tournaments.

Yikes. I said in several posts before. Alliance ain't that good despite that short few weeks of good results. The reason being that their results were due more on their signature drafts, rather than them actually improving as a team fundamentally. In a sense their improvements were relatively short term because once teams figured out their drafts, they start playing like shit. You can see team being more prepared now with the sladar bans etc.

You contrast alliance with navi, and there's a difference. Navi has changed dynamically in terms of their playstyle and strategy since artstyle joined. You see more emphasis now in protecting Dendi, and they start showing their signature navi aggression again.

Le-sigh what the hell is Alliance doing. Like seriously. Really weak drafts and play...I can't even break it down. Like why the hell did they pick slark 5th for loda.... They could have easily drafted troll+bat+lion+ES+1 in game 2. Game 1 was a complete meltdown. I don't know how alliance let iG blatantly roam their jungle after getting such an early lead. Ferrari went from bottom lane through mid into dire jungle and still got a kill with clock...how the hell does that happen.

Alliance win shit-ton of games using a farming carry + initiating carry and then for the past two weeks have completely abandoned what has worked for them. Their movements and rotations look completely out of whack. While iG moves around their jungle and ganking, Alliance is just off farming different parts of the map while constantly getting picked off.

Even if they are going to continue to pick against the style that has been proven time and time again to work for them, they need to play more as a team. Sitting back and farming while hoping to naturally get kills out of the lane is a terrible way to play. Ultimately I just don't understand the attempt to switch things up now. They have proven to be near unbeatable while drafting and playing to their strengths, don't change your draft and strategy now. You fucking go down playing what your best at.

It's not a problem of draft, it's a problem of skill... they got outplayed freaking hard, let's face it, we're not at the same level of certain teams, not anymore.

I think yes, the problem is hardly from a draft point of view, 7mad has been doing a decent job at it, pretty good addition to the team i might add. but they just dont "feel" them.

Its really hard to say, but they dont feel comfortable playing this kind of Dota, they need to find their footing and stick to their guns, all teams do that.

Yea. Fundamentally they are lacking. They only had a good run of games then on the back of some decent strategies that were not countered, and not because they actually started being good again.

And they did, and they won...

Who knew that finding a decent and working strat you are comfortable with would work !

I don't understand why people were panicking yesterday, they lost vs a great team and only the second game was a stomp.

Getting stomped like that always makes a team look like shit. But it happens everyone now and then. Some teams more than others. And in Alliance's case it happens more often because they are not completely comfortable together yet. But, unlike some ppl, I actually see them improve alot in most areas. Their hero pic is wider, and they strategies are wider. Skill i agree tho, they have kinda stagnated, but that's probably because they are focusing on team effort. And it's on that part you really stand out in progression.
The first game was a loss versus a better team. No shame there.

That's also because secret let them play 2 drafts that alliance are so comfortable playing with. I'd like to see them win with a different style.
