Loda don't like WoW, he though it would be more more fun at lvl40 when you got your mount, it wasn't. + Show Spoiler + No but they are talking about that they are not blaming each other, they win and lose as a team. Loda being a "spirutal leader" and having that special relationship with Akke. They try not to take everything too seriously but with the same focus and never takes anything for granted. Honestly they should sub that and put it out. | ||

That's really the impossible choice: focus on shitting on Loda who will develop into a monster if you don't or focus on the other 4 who all have the capacity to win alliance the game if left alone. And it's a massive problem that S4 is probably the best drafter in the world right now; he makes you pick what he wants you to pick, not what you want to pick. And then Alliance just waits for you to make a mistake. S4 is privileged with having some of the best players in the world playing in their respective positions around him..He's a good drafter but the fact that he has one of the best 4-5 position combo and Bulldog who commands a Respect ban every game makes his drafting a hell of lot easier.Plus Loda can play a lot of carries (got nothing on burning AM tho :D) | ||

How. Luna is one of the stronger lategame carries, especially with overcharge. They had to get an early advantage, yes, but it's not like the game was inherently lost if they didnt end the game by 20 minutes | ||

He prioritizes safety over everything else, which means he's not as high GPM as the legendary ricers like Burning, and it means he doesn't go for very flashy/high risk plays like Xboct does. But his play style really fits his team well, since they prefer to play a standard, solid style, pick the timing window when they have an advantage, and not let the other team dictate the pace of the game. However, some people are broken with certain heroes like AdmiralBulldog and his LD play (and to a lesser extent his NP) is just a level above everyone else, making the ban phase really important (like if you ban out his good heroes, then you open up other good heroes for the other players on their team). The other important thing that people forget is that because of their solid, safe playstyle, Alliance is not very afraid of a lot of "cheese" lineups. Like S4 said in their interview, they don't fear the wisp, because wisp play relies on players having imperfect game sense and map awareness, which all of Alliance's players really have. Thus, they don't have to counterpick heroes as much as other teams do. I disagree with you on loda, he can really join the fray early, he's one of the fastest carry to use the TP scrolls. You should check loda play with PA if you have not seen it. | ||

Fighting games do better in this type of tournament setup because of their nature, each match is "more exciting" and closer etc. In Starcraft it really feels that a 1 game or series advantage is way too much to overcome. Which makes series significantly more boring | ||
