I dont know but their drafts are fine. Their play is also pretty good, it's their overall game plan I think. It seems like they are all kind of doing their own thing when old alliance relied on teamplay a lot more. You can see it when they are super sloppy in fights and all over the map getting picked off one by one when they arent doing anything meaningful in terms of objectives (warding/splitpushing). Empire has 3 blinks, one from a tinker and an AA, and the fact they are empire and want to kill you and you still splitpush alone. Also Chessie is a pretty good player but he needs to have his hand on bkb for WK if he is going to be splitpushing that aggressively, and he needs to stop splitpushing altogether once tinker got his high level of dagons

These casters are outright wrong. They're talking about how Alliance "can't fight without Chrono" when the biggest reason they lost that last fight is that they only had three heroes with Chessie fucking around with rune. If Puck was there, that fight would have looked very different (because he can disrupt Grip with Dream Coil).

It's not even analysis, it's just watching what's happening on the map. That's supposed to be one of the things shoutcasters do.

There's looking at the map, and there's understanding what's happening on the map
