When he can only really play 2 heroes, and they are good heroes, you better prioritize those picks.

When those two heroes fit the meta, Alliance own. Unfortunately for them there will be one more patch before TI.

Jerax can definitely play more heroes really well. But he is just god tier with those 2. Like fata razor or kuro rubick.

Since dat-dota stats are very incomplete for 6.86, lets look at 6.85:

Jerax on WW: 22-7 (75.9%)
Jerax on Tusk: 21-8 (72.4%)
Jerax overall : 72-38 (65.5%)
Jerax not on tusk/ww: 29-23 (54.7%)

It's pretty clearly a big weakness. In 6.56 ww was nuked, tusk got some small nerfs, and they opened ES. So now he can be a little less effective tusk, or a pretty good ES, and then you fall to hero pools where he has a 50% winrate, which is a problem for a team trying to reach that top tier.

He plays those 2 heroes really well, but I think it is almost backfiring in the draft in that instead of forcing bans, its forcing TL into the picks very early, and sometimes into sub-optimal drafts. They need to be able to capitalize on what should be drafting strengths more imo.

Maybe they practice the heroes in scrims, or he pracs them a lot more in pub?

They have had a pretty full schedule lately though. I'm hoping over these next couple of weeks MC and Jerax get some time to expand their hero pool. Jerax's Dazzle was solid the game I saw in qualifiers

I'm not sure I want Jerax to branch out too much, and if he does it should also be very specific heroes that he feels suit him. I think having specialist players that often draw first 2 bans is extremely useful (as Alliance repeatedly demonstrated with Bulldog)

First picking ES or Tusk is perfectly fine given the impact Jerax consistently has with either of the two heroes, and if both get banned, then it's on the rest of the team and the draft to take advantage of that. Jerax can always play simple heroes like Venge or Dazzle in that scenario anyway.

Well signature heroes worked for bulldog not because he is imbalance on np/LD (as good as he is), but because how alliance has a grand plan with them. With LD, alliance just aims to hit the mid game window where they have a free farm carry supplemented by a radiance LD. Its the same strategy every game even if the +4 are different heroes.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that picking signature heroes isn't autowin just because the player is good. Its the overall plan that matters.

They did it in both their WePlay games today, I'm sure it'll be on YouTube.
I think esports is pretty nice.

I believe he went straight to radiance in the first game then to vlads, the opposite for game 2. Either way he really went iron talon into level 6 in which he achieved final form. Imagine getting stomped on by a dragon with a face that looks like it was drawn by a 6 year old lol

EDIT: I am corrected vv
