LCS has gotten better for sure but spring split was pretty bad especially EU, how many times internet failed or twitch crashed

Well yeah, speaking of NA. EU is handled by ESL.

I'm also part of the Iron Squid staff and working in the production crew so it's pretty much the same, except with way less money :p

Draft was not what lost DK that game, 2009 was saying that if it was 2 nameless teams and not Alliance vs. DK, DK's draft would be 70/30 against Alliance's draft.

Alliance recognized what was important that game and executed well. They made good trades when DK had the advantage, and capitalized on DK's mistakes. The gem loss near Rosh where s4 lasso-ed ROTK from under 4 DK players' noses was absolutely game changing.

i think it was few things. the xp advantage was important honestly, i don't know why LD and Lumi were saying it didn't matter when the reality was that the supports of Alliance were near level 20 and DK were like at level 12 and i didn't feel super contributed at all in terms of damage.

linkin might not have been a bad choice but i don't think going both bkb and linkin was smart when you sacrifice any going items that can give damage.

A big portion of that XP disadvantage came from losing the gem. Should have just parked it in fountain tbh. =P

Again, that was entirely a product of the lost gem at the Rosh pit. When you lose all your wards on the map, your supports can't do anything but wait behind the carries because you simply cannot farm enough to be worth the risk of a solo kill on you turning into a free tower or Roshan. The gold/XP graphs were reasonably close until DK lost their gem, at which point Alliance's advantage skyrocketed because Batrider + Furion + took enemy's gem locks down the entire map.

DK basically lost that gem for free too because I don't think they'd done anything to Alliance's vision when they lost it.

Admiral Bulldog pretty much won the game for Alliance - if that wasn't a NP, DK would have pushed to win that game a long time ago.

Also holy shit those forcestaffs.



That's pretty much every game of alliance, to be honest, his prophet is WAY stronger than LD.

After the armlet nerf, I don't see any reason to ban LD over NP against Alliance anymore.



Bulldog wins lanes he has no business winning with LD. You cannot allow it to go through or he gets an 18 minute midas Radience.

LD wins lanes, sometimes.

NP wins games.

NP won this game for alliance - the split push meant DK couldn't teamfight comfortably.


Bulldog LD wins Games...Always
He plays the LD to near perfection and I have rarely seen his LD lose..You have to ban both NP and LD against Bulldog and then you open up yourself for either a Wisp or Bat and If Alliance Bans them both then you get a Fair game.

China Bans Wisp + Druid -> Bulldog always gets his NP

One of the Reasons why Western teams can atleast take games off Alliance in Online cups (Mouz ,Kaipi)

Yeah, it's almost like the Eastern teams start off with 0 bans, since they have to ban LD and Wisp all the time.

I again don't think that's correct, I think you need to ban both LD and furion vs AdmiralBulldog or just ban neither, his Prophet really isn't behind his LD... Just banning LD and letting him get NP = waste

Yo, every other tournament in the world. Watch this and learn, please.


Well, to be honest, all they think when they watch is: "We wish we had the money to do this".


And all i'm thinking is why doesn't other games/companies sell their stuff like Valve, so they could afford at least a bit of this. Compendium for example.


They sell HD passes or pay per view and people hate them for it ;x

Sell anything and have people hate it. Dota 2 gets away with what other people wish they could.


No Valve sells quality. Thats the difference.

And all those steam games made by other people. Its a real boost to the budget.

Prophet again.

I think DK needs to pick a hero that can deal with him (storm??)

TI easily has the best production in esports at the moment afaik


Without a doubt. Somewhere in a dark room, Sundance Giovanni (the MLG boss guy) is probably sobbing hysterically. This makes every other event look amateurish.


It's easy when you can throw arbitrary amounts of money after their one big tournament without really worrying about making a profit from it. Unlike what a ton of the other tournaments have to do.


Yeah it's really impressive what smaller studios like ESL and NASL can do with production

Banning gyro, PL etc.. Generally a terrible idea against alliance. Carry pick is their lowest priority.
