Bulldog was picked up to standin for Alliance by Dendi and has his thing with Sheever, Akke and Loda are veterans and have a bromance that eclipses Kelly's relationship with Loda., EGM has his stuff with Blitz and S4 just feels like a pretty cool guy and made a reputation as the son of Magnus.
All in all I think its vastly overrated how many haters they have.
Except the part where they kicked EE out of NTH and every EE fan hated Alliance.
Except EE didn't really have that many fans until he joined up with sing and all that at that point. By the time that Alliance were at TI all that had already died down.
I guess so, heh. I just remember the forums blowing up about it.

True, for about 2 weeks or so, by the time TI3 rolled around most people forgotten about it because Alliance were on their hot streak and rekt everyone which was much more important.

That's how drama in esports work. One day pitchforks, next day all is forgiven.

But i get a lot of flak whenever i say i like alliance
I really don't know. From my perspective it's really different in terms of hate when it comes to alliance. I mean people hate EG because of the arrogant vibe. I don't think anyone hates C9 at all rofl. And other teams are hated for variety of reasons but alliance is usually hated because people think they don't play fair and they shouldn't have won but the other team since they think winning fights is how dota should be won.
I still remember comment on joindota few hours after TI3 ended when guy said "Okay, let's remove towers, fountains and Roshan, redesign map into arena and just fight".
Can't understand though why do you need to hate anyone, it's like in football when visitors fans and home crowd start to chant some shit into each other instead of supporting your team. Pathetic.
Alliance have that aura of bromance, friendship and stuff, C9 have that flamboyance, EG have hype, trashtalk and stuff, and so on. Every team have pros and cons, just choose and go all the way until disband.

Except for EE who still cheered for [A] in the end. It's like people never saw kicks and shit in dota history.
Yeah i think he and loda has a superficial but good relationship. Idk if that makes sense but you get the point. They are careful with how they talk to each other due to history but they are sort good to each.
Well, ofc EE is salty a bit, but shit happens. He won way more than Alliance did this time, so i guess, 1-1. But in general, players are okay with each other.

Lol no it will be KOREAN vs KOREAN finals.
Historically they have proven to beat everyone massively in a competitive scene !
I mean I don't think the relationship between EE and Loda is as good as Burning and rOtk despite the latter also parting ways but I don't think they really hate each other.

I think burning and Rotk are good friends .. they seem to always hang out together in lan events more than any other teams who hang out with another member from another team. And they may have just agreed that they don't work well together in one team.

EE is always salty about something. Then he goes on twitter to rant about crap that doesn't really matter lol

Indeed, but I'm giving the Chinese a 1 year grace before korea dominates so still have one chinese team in finals. TI 6 though would be all koreans. Of course I don't know how serious koreans will get about dota though with lol dominating there so hard.

Judging players are always hard but you have to look at map movement, decision making, the balance of aggressiveness vs passiveness, item decisions etc. Hao has done some pretty bad shit this TI.

Comparing Hao and Sylar is like comparing XBOCT and Lod[A] last season. Explosive "go hard or go home" against reliable weapon that will work everytime you need it.
Doesn't mean though, that roles can't be changed at some point.

I think burning should be the most stable of out of all them. Just basing around his map movements. He barely gets ganked but again it could be the work of supports or the offlane/mid trying to grab attention of the other team why he is not ganked often.
Arguably AAA just lost DK a grandfinals tonight, so already not the best tournament in his glorious career. Will be truly an era though if he retires finally.

eh i don't think non-pros are really informed enough to judge all but the most glaring of errors for those metrics.
