Well. Not gonna say anything too early, but EHOME was rated top 4 by alot of ppl before the majors, and CDEC just rolled them over. Also Mineski was close to beating CDEC. My guess is that Mineski is slightly underestimated, and A is just the worse team in this group. We'll see in the end, but just maybe the teams in our group will end up quite high, even mineski. The worst part today was like they did everything badly. They aren't as bad as we saw today. Something, or everything, was off. Sad. But lets hope for a good LB. | ||

I've seen confidence and smart bans in their draft after TI5, and now it's all gone? 1 out of 4 games had an draft/ban that was good. Rest is terrible. In the groupstage of all places. I really really dont understand. Ofc they have an idea of what works for them and what doesn't. But looking from the draft, it feels like they dont trust eachother to anything but collecting losses! Feels like downfall-alliance again. I really really hope they can do better in LB. At least show 3-4 really good games before dropping out. what don't you understand? alliance isn't good enough to beat tier 1 teams, they haven't been for a very long time. ya'll got baited into high hopes cuz they beat a crumbling empire a bunch of times and power rangers lol. face the facts, loda's done, bulldog's done, they are one trick ponies and patch players. that was good enough 2 years ago, not nearly enough now. the competition's 10x tougher and they haven't improved or adapted. alliance will have a shot when bulldog and loda decide to leave and stop holding the team back. | ||

That drow pick in game 1... so many mistakes in positioning, supports in front of the carries, they haven't played this bad for months, i just hope they won't break after the event, it's all experience. I'm sure that if they had faced mineski first or any other opponents xcept CDEC they would've done way better. They were doing big events for ages with the previous roster , if anything the other teams had it easier cuz it wasnt on stage so less pressure , but they threw away EVERYTHING they did in the last couple of months drafting weird ass drafts , tiltting after losses to draft even worse.... do we know who they are playing in the lower bracket yet? | ||

What? Except s4, Last BIG event they attended was TI4 almost two years ago... they came into this with all the pressure of showing they are back ecc. ecc., they couldn't handle it plus they had to play their first game against arguably one of the best chinese teams atm (when was last time they faced a chinese team?). | ||

That might be true. They might not be better than any of the teams in this Major. But that doesn't explain the terrible terrible drafts. Or the extremely slow (or lack of) TPs. Did you even read what I posted? | ||

yeah a little bit. i still think liquid is the better team. and alliance only win against better teams with rat dota. and when the rat fails they just loose, because there is no plan b. just my opinion, nobody has to agree... | ||
