It's probably the biggest reason. He picked huskar yesterday into an oracle/et after picking kunkka and shadow demon.

he did that because playing against huskar would have lost even faster. the real moral here is you should probably loving ban huskar

Wings should be third and Alliance fourth by the way if anyone wants to speculate matchups or whatever (wings has the tiebreaker on Alliance)

All dota games should just start the stream at like 45 minutes in because everything before that is boring

Thats one game, and he drafted himself into a corner and tried to pick it instead of giving it away. How many games have they lost because EE is completely loving garbage?

Every tournament casters criticise Alliance for having a narrow hero-pool. Every tournament we get some sort of tweet like this:

Will there be a tiebreaker? I thought 3rd or 4th place doesn't matter because the opposing group's 1 gets a pick of who they want to play between the 3 or 4.

I might agree Bulldog doesn't have a huge pool, but Loda plays basically every hero in the game

I am pretty sure I heard several times that Loda has one of the larger hero pools in the game.

Loda heroes at TI6: 2xSven, LD, 2xDrow, 2xNaix, WK, Ursa, Slark, Pugna, TB, Slardar = 10 different heroes so far.

After doing the legwork, yeah, I was wrong about Loda. He played 10 different heroes in the group stages, same as s4. I guess it just always felt like Loda had his favorites, like PA, PL, Wraith King, etc., so I think I attributed his hero pool to that.

Bulldog played 7. Akke played 7, including 4 games as Kotl. EGM played 6, inlcuding 8(!) on Ogre Magi.

bulldog has played brood, beastmaster, bristle, tide, batrider, lone druid, void and furion so far i think. that is not a narrow hero pool.
