Today, the players of the No Tidehunter DotA 2 team, along with independent StarCraft 2 player Johan "NaNiwa" Lucchesi, are pleased to announce the creation of Alliance: a new professional gaming team. Formed in collaboration with Razer, one of the world's pioneering supporters of eSports, Alliance will focus on both DotA 2 and SC2, and look to gradually expand its StarCraft roster over the course of 2013.

"Being involved in the creation of a brand new professional gaming team of this caliber is a very special opportunity and we're honored to have been a part of the creation process," said Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "By supporting and helping to drive the unique opportunities Alliance provides for professional players, we hope to continue to deliver the absolute best of eSports to both a Scandinavian and worldwide audience."

"We are extremely happy to be a part of the birth of Alliance. We are proud to be a part of something new. We strive for perfection, and with the support from our sponsor, Razer, this will be a great organization." said Jonathan "Loda" Berg.

Johan "NaNiwa" Lucchesi commented, "A few months ago I was searching for a team that could help me become the best player I could possibly be. It stood between a few teams and I'm 100% sure, since I've been with this team for a while, that I have made the right choice. Not only are they trying their best to fulfill my wishes, but are very professional while doing so. I am very happy to be a part of this team.”

No Tidehunter and NaNiwa will be sporting the shiny, new Alliance tag effective immediately, and have been using Razer mice, keyboards, and mousepads for quite some time now. Be sure to follow the Alliance DotA 2 team at the upcoming RaidCall EMS ONE Finals, held in Katowice on April 20th & 21st, and to follow NaNi at the upcoming DreamHack Open event, held in Stockholm on April 26th & 27th!


Evidence points to this being a new EG team or affiliated to EG in some way.

Always cool to see people from other games expanding into SC2 instead of the other way. Congrats to them both and I hope to see NaNiwa doing well in WCS!

Dammit. I was just double checking to see if anyone else had posted this, rather than just making a thread, and you go and snipe the heck out of me during my second search.

Is there a web page error on the site, or is it just my browser? I had to "view source" to see that, nothing was popping up like it should.

Looks like they will be part of Team Razer.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Wow. That's quite something. Starting with a very solid set of talent in both games, hope that the team can get enough sponsor money to keep the skill level that high.
