Welcome to the Alliance fanclub!
After searching the forums for a bit and looking at other team pages, it seems that there aren't many Dota 2 fan pages on this site. Since the Dota 2 squad of the Alliance has done really well in the last 3 months and me being such an Alliance fanboy, I figured they could use a fan club here on team liquid!
Since Naniwa already has his own fanclub, this one will mostly focus on the Dota 2 squad.
I started watching No Tidehunter after their controversial dismissal of EternaLEnVy where I felt they came off as a bunch of cowards. So I started watching their games prior to the dismissal of EE and after, almost hoping they would crash and burn. While they had a bit of a rough start with their new line up with EGM replacing EE, they slowly started to play better and better and eventually I found myself really liking their spot-on decision making, their stable gameplay, and their innovative strategies and soon saw them rise above all the western teams. I've since then discovered through interviews and streams that they actually seems like a nice group of people and that they really are a team of friends!
The line up consist of:
Loda Admiral Bulldog s4 Akke EGM

Alliance went undefeated through the groupstage of the international and only lost one game on their road to the grand final where they dropped two games before defeating Na'Vi in a nailbiting final game. The are the first team to win the entire international without dropping a set so I think it's safe to say that they are currently the best dota2 team in the world!
Upcoming matches:
Starladder season VII playoffs. 10/10/13 - 13/10/13

Do you agree with Lodas criticism of auis commentary?
I was somewhat annoyed by it as well as I believe it is not fun to hear someone nitpicking the players all the time. In my opinion it would be more fair and interesting commentary if instead of saying "I don't like this build" he would say: "With this build they might encounter this problem.."
|
Add me on the list please.
Have been a Loda fanboy since like 2006 ^_^
also can anyone tell me what games AUI was casting?
|
Bulldog is a boss. I have enjoyed watching his journey from a pubstar to a pro

Where did Loda critisize Aui's casting? Personally I think he's LD's best co-caster. LD already gives his cast a ton of energy, enthusiasm, excitement, etc. Aui adds pure insight.

While I like Auis casting I think this time it was a bit over-analytical, especially since it was largely void of positive criticism, even though they were completely crushing every team. I like that pro-players try to deepen the casts, but this was beyond the understanding of most people who watched I'm guessing - he did raise some valid points, while they were small (i.e. some decision-making stuff, treadsswaping more actively to retain mana on AM iirc), it still sounded as if he was being really critical, which I think is a mistake on Auis part. Also, Loda knows that he is the better player, with the better team, achievement wise, especially after their display at G1. So why not just let those results speak for themselves, there's no need to call someone out who is just trying to do what they are hired (guessing he was?) to do.

Sign me up! Dot[A] best dota
|
Sign me up! Alliance #1. Interesting strategies and picks, combined with rock solid play makes them by far the most enjoyable team to watch. Looking forward to see how they do at the International.
