Well Alliance needed someone who they can kick when Akke/Bulldog/S4 wants to play for them again.

Alliance has a new logo as well which I'm not a fan of at all



I think the Bulldog/Akke thing is mainly for streaming purposes so Bulldog will continue to market Alliance with his stream, but who knows, maybe they'll do the same thing they did last year.

bulldog is still on [A] because he decided to take a break from competitive dota and it makes no sense for him to leave the team while he figures out where to go. he's still getting the sponsorship benefits, why would you willingly give that up if you decide to live off your stream for a while. same with akke, but less streaming.

Bulba support is awful. The only reason it sort of worked at TI4 is there were a lot of roaming supports for him to play. Otherwise he gets bored and does stupid poo poo and ends up hurting the team.

That Alliance team looks decent.

I know ana is sort of an unknown quantity and so could still be Good but man can you imagine if Miracle didn't get skittish when cr1t and Moon left and that lineup was n0tail/miracle/s4/jerax/fly

Liquid looks like that guy who spent all his auction bux in a fantasy draft on stars and then realized he still needed another player. Every game is going to be "can we win before Bulba loses"

True enough. Still, in my head, Bulba is the very bottom of the "acceptable" pros where you put him on your TI-viable team but you're really not happy about it. Fluff isn't even on the radar, though, I'll admit that.

I think OG OG showed that Fly and n0tail know how to build a pretty good team. I trust their ability to do that, at the very least.

I'm sure Bulba is fine and probably contributes a lot behind the scenes or teams wouldn't bother picking him up but gently caress, he's just anemic as hell as a player every time I watch his games. Extremely low impact.

At least he's better than Fluff/TC etc. so he has that going for him.

Bulba contributes a lot behind the scenes, such as harassing ixmike and then losing to him in a spirit breaker vs. furion 1v1.

BurNing is on IG now with 4 nobodies so expect disappointment.

Ferrari and Chuan might have retired. Neither have teams right now. Wish I knew what was happening with Rabbit, because I really liked him on LGD.
