could just aswell fucking hire me to draft for them, becuse whoever is fucking drafting seems like he has intelligence of a max 1-2 years of dota.


Pick a strat and counter what heroes that counters yours and save 1-2 bans to counter their work aswell.

Stop waste bans and picks just becuse.


im still baffled that ppl aint picking up slardar in this fucking meta.

Alliance are playing lineups and styles they have NEVER played and with which they don't look comfortable. Why not go back to more familiar playing styles..

Also S4 WTF??!?! This TI S4 is really dissapointing, worst player on the team


lol? S4 is dominating every game Alliance won so far.
I don't think you can blame someone, they just make bad decision at some point in their losses and therefore, lose. It happens, noone is perfect.

They just need to play as aggressive as they can, that's it, like they did against C9.
We're still in this but this yesterday loss against Fnatic might really be fatal at some point. Honestly, i'm having MLG flashbacks for last 2 days.

But it's hilarious, how intense is this groupstage.
I was expecting massacre in like 75% of games, but instead of it, games are waaaaaaay longer than usual in general.

"other team picks tinker" lets not pick heavy initation blink lineup.
chen also is bad against tinker and they fucking pick him WHY!? would u do that? like why the fuck?

the venge pick i can agree with earlygame, but there is NOTHING she offers with the other heroes they had, they had no aoe what so ever either, if you wanna go fast push against tinker well gl on that one unless you shut him down.

The main issue for alliance this TI is the draft , they avoided the Meta in all cost , they get a free Wisp/NP ban against them every game , meaning they control which heroes goes through , they have complete control and they waste it because they dont play the void/tide offlane rarely pick doom/lycan/Enigma the only meta heroes they play (high picks) are the Razor/Brew , they shouldve came prepared to be banned like that and use the best heroes in the patch , shame , its rare to have 2 auto bans against you and they had it for 2 straight years.

Rofl, they got Doom everytime it was available to them.
And they can play legit Tidehunter as well, who cares about Void, most overrated shit this tournament. Even Skywrath isn't that overrated.
[A]'s Lycan blows, i agree there. Never again pls. But it's not autowin either.

Okay, jokes aside, anyone knows how are tiebreakers working? Like last TI when it wasn't matter at all that Dignitas beat LGD 2-0, so they played tiebreaker or no?

Anyway.
C9 can still beat LGD to get them 9th loss.
Fnatic, most likely, will end with 9 at least.
Empire are going to finish 6-9.
Same with mouz probably.

Either Na'Vi or Newbee will finish 7-8 if Alliance beat Na'Vi.
Gosh, this tournament.

Anyway, everything is in Alliance hands, to be honest.
Just win two and don't look back. But even i'm close to stop believing, all my favourite teams in esports are losing nowdays ;/

I would agree with the assessment that Alliance have very questionable decisions this TI. In the games I manage to watch them play they have very questionable decisions. The one that is most notable and perhaps could be as a result of bad luck is their Level 1 Roshan against Vici Gaming. I feel they are also unable to capitalize on the advantages of their drafts etc.

It highlighted what we've all been suspecting for very long.
It was refresing to hear their thoughts, especially the part with "after TI3 we had a team where everyone thought they were the best players in the world. How do you work with a team like that?" or something similar.
That statement said a lot. This past half year and especially this last week's Round Robin must be a harsh wakeup call.
Huge fan of JulyZerg, HonestTea and that guy Kim Taek Yong.

If someone told me, that EG.NA vs EG.EU will decide TI3 champions fate, let's say, 4 months ago, i would have laughed.
