I feel niqua being kicked confirms they are not getting invited otherwise they would be stupid to throw away their chances for a TI invite

I dont like the idea of having such heavy farming players, let alone 3. I dont remember any of those players, using any low farming heroes

Ugh, I hate when players get kicked like this, I feel so bad for them. But lets be real now, Bulldog IS the better player, individually. How he functions in the team remains to be seen, but in terms of his potential in the team is much highers than niquas I feel like. Although Niqua is a good player, that's all he is, at one point Bulldog was one of the best the best players in the world, and maybe even the most important player when they won TI3. Bulldog is in other words a world class player and as a captain you'd rather have that than a player that is definitely good but has very little experience and might prove not improve much more in the near future.

So even though I feel really sad about it, I totally understand it.

honestly i actually liked the TI3 alliance the most that was the alliance that i became a fan with and followed them upto TI4 .. the next iterations i just didn't care about the team anymore

to me it's just a team brand after that .. there's no bulldog or egm or s4 anymore

I dont understand that way of reasoning. I am a fan of both football (soccer) and hockey but you don't stop being a fan because your favourite player/players leave the team. Even after 10-20, even longer than that the fans still stay true to their team. I will always be a fan of Alliance, doesn't matter who's playing in the team.

I feel bad for Niqua, but honestly his play has been very underwhelming, particularly lately. He joined a team during a long period of roster changes and he was hardly stellar. I'm sure he was well aware this could happen when he joined.

Things didn't work out for him. That sucks. But also, that's life, move on.

As for people talking about him getting screwed over for TI5? What were his TI5 chances exactly if Alliance didn't pick him up? Yup.

Even after 10-20, even longer than that the fans still stay true to their team. I will always be a fan of Alliance, doesn't matter who's playing in the team.

The thing is when the players or group of players you follow leave the team you are just following the pretty logo and the name that the team has which i don't really care about. I get invested on the players behind the scene's personality and good dota they show together.

Like in some things it makes sense like for example google has a very good standard so if one of the key persons like for example the CEO leaves it doesn't make the company shit ? No that's because what the company was good for or what it is is still there they still produce good stuff and still have high standard.

but in dota it's different. Think about it do you still care about DK ? when the entire roster all star roster aren't there anymore ? i doubt it

You are basically following the brand not the good dota and the personalities that has attracted you in the first place.

Basically it's just the skin now not the meat.

I'm sure it's fine if you are still following alliance if you like loda and akke or maybe nationalism then it's totally fine but just because it's alliance idk about that.

Never like loda, he was a mean racist back in the day and feel indifference to Akke.

Bulldog has a higher potential than Niqua but this isn't the proper way to go about it. I'm quite disappointed how they just threw him away as soon as patch notes indicated buffs to LD and NP.

yea, but esports doesn't quite work as sports.

in football, baseball or whatever we don't actually feel so close to players, because we don't see them tweeting, streaming or interacting with fans on a daily basis. in esports we get attached to this, that's why people cheer for whatever sing, envy, arteezy or whatever team is

i don't think this is true really, ask people in LA how they feel about Kobe or those in Indy about Peyton or those in San Antonio about Pop

the issue in ESPORTS is the turnover is incredibly fast, teams join and leave very quickly
