EDIT: One thing I wanted to mention, I love how every team seems to have that one hero that no one else uses. Empire Troll Warlord, Alliance Sven, etc. It's great.

I was literally compiling a list earlier this morning.

Fnatic tiny, navi pudge.

Sven is bringing sexy back.

How do you deal with that anyways? Doom the Sven? Does that even turn off God's Strength and Cleave? Hookshot and forcestaff out? Chrono?

Once he gets that fat you're just done. Wisp is like the healer in any RPG, if you can take it out fast the carry doesn't have an easy escape and is way easier to kill.

Viper strike goes thru bkb.

The alliance lineup is the same lineup that won them the finals, minus ck for sven.

 

[BigAT]

Alliance ran the exact same 5 heroes earlier in the tournament:

An' they won. Surprisingly.

Wisp - Making heroes viable since 6.68

This is true. How many heroes that are played as the 1 role are there that aren't viable with Io? I imagine a few of the harder carries with no disables wouldn't fare too well.

 

[Anbokr]

I think against Alliance you gotta ban wisp/furion. Fuck it, give them lycan or bat and force them to play something that isn't their style or in their comfort zone. Pick up nyx, axe, etc...

Same way navi approached the grand finals last year (and it worked pretty well for them until their errors in the last game), you can't ban the standard tier 1 heroes against these guys, you need to ban their comfort heroes and play around the tier 1's (even maybe getting a couple yourself).

CM instead of Tree too. It's definitely the same style line-up. S4 and Bulldog on their best heroes is bound to get disastrous.

 

[Haly]

loda's a pretty good player i think

He's easily the most replaceable player in Alliance. He played standard Manly Sven, there was little finesse to it whatsoever. It worked because S4, EGM and Bulldog were working their fucking butts off to give him the space to right click.

You could've put anbokr into Loda's shoes and he would've done just as well. Being able to ride on the Akke/EGM/S4 palanquin must be a fucking dream.

It's not you, its your team.
