No a month or 2 ago, they would not have such a lead in the first place. Or if they do, its with heroes that's designed to have that, but then they lose the timing.

Personally I still do not respect alliance recent achievements because they did not adapt to the meta, but the meta favoured them. A seasonal team like them should never be regarded as a best team.


Duck you are blind by hate or something? , what meta OP heroes did they use this last game ? come on ? tell me which ones ?
Chen , and ? what else ? who else picks weaver ? puck ? , rubik and jug are not popular at all and weaver/puck never see play.... but whatever the meta .


puck is buffed 8 second aghs is crazy, but no one pick puck except A , and it is the frog fault :p

Chen, for example.

Also, weaver/puck were buffed into game, to the point where both are picked.

As for rubick, jug, those remain meta in any patch for a while now.


And jug and rubick are go to picks since last 2 metas ..idk what makes those heroes rare occurrence for him.

hero nerfs are not why Alliance fell off, it was fundemental game changes such as ward nerfs, smoke megabuffs, creep tinkering etc. Mainly the ward/smoke changes murdered their controlling style. Buffing puck is not why liquid just lost.

Liquid lost because of their poor teamfight execution and coordination. There's no need to go to patchnotes and metagames to explain the last 10 minutes of that game.

not sure if you're just agreeing, but yeah that's my point. the thread blowing up about how icefrog patched alliance back is some sillyness. icefrog didn't unnerf alliance's old style which is still effectively dead

And they first picked WD every game.
To each team his own I guess. Tho DP has not impressed me, WD did.

EGM is immense


Yeah I agree. I also think s4 is having a momentum based revival with his boys. Sick plays with batrider, puck, and picking signature heroes for his team no matter what's the current meta. They don't care and they realized they just need to do what they're good at, because you know what, it works anyway. Dude I'm loving this!


Imo he learned this from Puppey, I aways feel like Puppey is prioritizing comfort zone over meta.


I mean it does help a lot that a bunch of their comfort picks were buffed back into the meta this patch.


Bat or Puck buffed back? I don't think so. It looks obvious for some of bulldog's heroes but for S4 I'm not convinced.


Significant buffs to bulldog benefits S4 a ton. It takes a ton of pressure off s4 and you can tell its made a big difference this patch.
