did you watch/understand the game?
1. C9 picked late game lineup with 3 farm oriented heroes - ES / Mirana/Void + the greediest support Enigma.
2. alliance picked WK as a carry (the worst carry for split push) so they didnt PLAN TO RAT IT OUT.

the game went as alliance wanted with some fighthing (NP didnt even get book 3 until 50 min) and they took all the Tier 1/2 with C9 AVOIDIING FIGHTS , then they took a set of rax , but now C9 got to the point they wanted with their cores + enigma having enough items to win EVERY 5 man fight from now until the end of the game, so they ratted , thats what they could do to win it..... but again it wasnt the plan if you saw the lineup... also , the fight everyone wanted was A going high ground not just open skirmish as C9 didnt put a foot down their ramp.

Got crushed, but things are still bright as always, with Winter as coach and the team still being in sync. As Winter said, they have the power of friendship! And no one can take that away from them.

That said, they're a long way from the 2013 team that took the world by storm.

Yep, they have left that team far behind in the dust. The current team is so much better.

Obviously I wasn't comparing them in an absolute sense. That's like saying George Mikan is absolutely more skillful than Dwight Howard, when the latter would destroy the former. Yet Mikan was the most dominant center back then.

Relative to the scene, they aren't dominant at all. 2013 Alliance was a product of incredible acumen, foresight, and skillful execution. 2014 Alliance (heading into TI) would definitely beat 2013 Alliance if they ever theoretically fought, but they aren't ahead of the curve at all, and for the most part even behind the curve. 2014 is more versatile, better skilled, has a higher hero pool, but is not a favorite to win TI.

Way to take a statement out of context.

good loda interview

i actually just opened this thread with the intention of linking this but you were faster

indeed really good interview, i expected the boring standard answers that most pro player interviews consist of but this was a great read and i especially liked how he went fairly in-depth in his analysis about their games against c9 and iG

iG, Titan, NewBee, Arrow and DK for [A] at Day 1 of TI4, uh oh. At least, i hope they will be able to get 3-4 victories, have to get decent start to get confidence boost.

Mouz, Empire, Na'Vi.NA, Fnatic, on Day 2.

LGD, VG, C9, Play-in winner, on Day 3.
Na'Vi and EG on Day 4.

Will you stop cheering for them if they don't make it? If no, don't worry :D

Anyway, i guess bromance team is capable of getting 10+ wins, so should be pretty safe in ladder playoffs.

iG - Loss from prior experiences
Titan - Win
NewBee - Win
Arrow - win
DK - Loss
Mouz - Win
Empire - Win
Na'Vi.NA - Win
Fnatic - I'd like(?) to say a loss imo, but they don't have a team working at 100%, i think it was era that has just got over a breakdown.
LGD - Win
VG - Loss
C9 - Win
Na'Vi - Win(?) EL CLASSICO
EG - Win. Sorry EG fanboys, but EG hasn't been holding out recently, I think that alliance has been.

^ ma predictions.
