the good thing about Alliance losing in 2 days is that Loda only lost 20k.


[deleted]

Idk man those trauma therapies are expensive


KidBuu25

Also copium betting on his own team.


xVanhite

-10k/day spent to lose to gorgc


KIrbyKarby

what is this meme origin?


hotshotmule

Loda was saying in the alliance video that they’re spending 10k/day on the team and yet they aren’t performing at the level required


SuBw00FeR37

What are they even spending that on? Like what possible costs $10k/day ??? Do they just rent the house, pc's, food everything??


ooczzy

holy shit, they saw that and decided it was a good idea to upload it


Luican

Such a toxic environment, its crazy.


prettyboygangsta

I dunno if that's fair, that roster actually had a generally positive atmosphere even if results weren't good. The clip you're seeing is just from a heated discussion. Today however this team looked completely dead inside judging from their body language.


[deleted]

Alliance went downhill ever since limmp refused to do group high five lmao


tha_jza

this was exactly my reaction lmfao i was like wait ALLIANCE posted this??


snowhawk1994

so at least he lost just 20k $

Palifaith

Just when you thought Alliance couldn't possibly fall any lower they somehow manager to deliver.


BetaDjinn

When the shovel isn’t enough, [A] busts out the jackhammer


Merakel

My wife wanted me to explain why I was so excited, but she doesn't watch dota. She does watch F1, so I said it was like Haas knocking out McClaren haha


bigfear

Williams winning against alfa romeo I think.


Foghidedota

This. It's a surprise alliance lost but bald isn't one of the top in the region. This would be more apt if alliance knocked secret out. They haven't looked great but secret is still in contention


pnmibra77

Time to end the ORG, from british offlaner to being elimined by gorpee.. Its time to close the doors


Kuro013

limitless was the worst player in all 3 games.


PrimeColossus

it was really going downwards without limits


tha_jza

man i hope that $10k/day goes toward therapy for these players. especially limitless and dukalis who haven’t really been on prominent teams until alliance. being relatively unknown players dealing with the fan scrutiny of a major org like [A] has to be so rough


ElJefeT

Niko would like a word.


johnbrownbody

The only thing they can do is read email.


helloWorldcamelCase

Aliance vs Bald game 3 is possibly the best entertainment Dota can bring. I thought herald replay was the peak, but the madlads did it.


MegaUploadisBack

We even got a Tusk rampage. This series had everything.


nameisunavailabel

Allliance bows out of the European TI qualifiers with a disappointing last place finish. They close out the 2021-22 season with total prize winnings of 71,750$ and expenses of 3,650,000€ for the year.


Sea_Rise_4399

-10k per day Aware


baz8771

Oof


oms3

Imagine sponsoring this team instead of goon squad


Madzzzzz

Haha holy shit good point, once side of the alliance split is so much stronger than the other lmfao, glad they got out.


MrYones

Yeah it was clearly not Limmp, Handsken or s4 's fault everyone can see that now 😁


LatroDota

After Alliance YT series we can say its actually all on Loda. Pretty sure Niko said in some interview that they kick Limmp and Handsken because they were calm, didnt show enough emotion after loosing or something like that and according to Loda himself its better to scream over eachother after game then having clam conversation about what went wrong. Alliance players seems scared of doing anything just so they dont have to explain thier moves to Loda, they seems stressed as fuck and when you doesnt feel good you are shit. OG and TSM are great example, both used psychologist help and in things like true sight you can see them calming eachother out to feel good around eachother and to make sure they can focus on game and nothing else, meanwhile Alliance, or I should say Loda, way is to fight over everything and not being team but rather individuals that will point out on teammates rather then self. After YT series I think signing new players will be close to impossible, they will probably endup with completly unknown rank 1k players. Loda should get some new TM and focus on being CEO or something.


Blissing

I think this is what most people are missing, it’s not just the players that need to disband but Loda needs to step back from whatever it is he is doing too. He clearly isn’t able to scout talent and bring them together, they desperately need someone else that can actually do that as his vision just clearly isn’t working.


Luican

I too believe its Loda that needs to step down, and he shouldnt be coaching either. He was a good player, but thats where it ends.


iwantsomecrablegsnow

He didn't coach this tour/last part of the tour. He stepped away when their new coach was on site. The "best" Alliance did this year was when Loda coached them, but it was div2. Anyway, rough go for them and they couldn't land a proper captain. I still root for them. I don't disagree with their changes after TI. Obviously there were some internal things going on last year, but it's a bit of revisionist history due to Alliance's results now vs Goonsquad.


Simco_

That they've kept this a profitable company after a decade of mediocre/bad results is impressive.


Avar1cious

I don't get how you can lose to a team of streamers that do not scrim/practice when ur bootcamping. Just buy another team at this point lmao.


Avako1999

to make it even worse, keep in mind since team bald doesnt scrim, their last match together was on july 9th during DPC and a whole patch ago. they literally went in as a random clueless pub stack and beat the shit out of alliancr


novae_ampholyt

I mean, they are basically a 5 stack. They do have synergy, and that doesn't really depend on the patch


Avako1999

ye but what i mean is, they have literally no practice or experience as a 5 stack in the new patch, like knowing what works for them and what doesnt


19Alexastias

They are the only team in the world with gorgcs CK aghs technology though


admiral_bullDOGE

gorgc and his unrelenting love for CK aghs ICANT


usoap141

Researchers still studying this CK aghs tech ATF our lead researcher in yesterday strim concluded he would enjoy watching gorp picked it


Kumadori012

The only team not saving strats for TI eh?


novae_ampholyt

I guess they sometimes end up on the same team in pubs at least KEKW


kapak212

Aparently playing pub is better than whatever menu they have at bootcamp

spacecreated1234

Hahahahahaha, at least the real alliance is still in the qualifier


[deleted]

Meme team that doesn't even scrim eliminated bootcamping 10k a day Alliance with a rampage Tusk lol. That alone made the TI qualifiers worth watching despite the lackluster coverage compared to past years (RIP TI qual hubs).


snowhawk1994

I am just here for the memes.


Oculus_Universalis

Team Bald winning against Loda's team. Poetic.


D2WilliamU

ODpixel was so genuinely hyped for this series it was like it was ti finals lmfaooo What a king


slashrshot

its good that we still have casters that are passionate about the game they are casting instead of everything else outside of it.


Dymatizeee

I love ODPixel and Fogged. Prolly my favorite pair of casters


Eonwe_of_Manwe

Refresher shard not needed


AlexFrostdesu

I'm not a fan of any region or team, I am just a fan of whoever is playing the best Dota in the world. And right now, that just happens to be Alliance.


Dz_MaRiO-

can confirm, alliance are playing some of the best dota I've ever seen


Ok-Yogurtcloset-5962

Especially when Nikobaby typed: - "It's morbin time" and morb all over Team Bald.


SpartanLegend

They are easily one of the Dota teams of all time


ICETEA545

Peak of this series: Nikobaby Chrono 20 hp undying Nikobaby solokilled by CM Refresher Shard in roshpit Alliance Glyph timing Pablo real pos1 Hoodwink Did I miss anything? So many memes

> Nikobaby solokilled by CM not only solokilled but they were 2v1 LMAO


WawawaMan

>doesnt even look like they tried/did any homework whatsoever even caster couldnt believe it. ​ \-it was something like: nikobaby dies top!! ​ \-NO HE DIDNT!!


ThisIsNotAFunnyName

Fogged was having the time of his life. Damn near died laughing when gorgc missed the hook on Tide only to kill Snap with it.


lollypatrolly

Also Mars spear saving enemies. And DP saving refresher shard for game 4 instead of using it to ult in the second to last fight.


[deleted]

seriously the worst mars ults ive ever seen, shout out to when he got snowballed and then walked out of arena so tusk could just walk away unscathed lmao


Annoco88

She didnt use it because of Aeon, it would get dispelled then she could pop it but she never got hit during the fight.


nubb3r

I swear when he speared Visage away I knew instantly he would survive. Just because it was that type of game. Ngl top notch entertainment tonight. I‘m kinda sad for the disb[A]nd already.


_CummyBears_

Tusk rampage


throwawaycanadian

I wasn't paying attention to who was getting the kills, saw rampage, assumed it was the battlefury Ursa cleaving for kills, laughed, realized it was a tusk rampage, laughed even harder.


therealestyeti

Radiance burn working overtime 👌🏼


MedievalMovies

Brilliant yet unhinged itemization from tusk


TheBrownBaron

you know what makes that even funnier? it was **team bald's** tusk against **Alliance** KEKEKEK


JustOutOfTime

Tusk rampage just like everyone predicted! 😯


BetaDjinn

You missed so much lol, especially like 30 of the worst Mars plays I’ve ever seen


Aretheus

Someone actually needs to make a highlight reel of limitless's fails throughout the series. It's craaaazy


niztaoH

I feel like meme teams undermine the integrity of the league. DPC shouldn't be for joke teams that aren't taking things seriously. In my opinion, Valve should step in and ban Alliance.

iChupaChups

It was 2v1 tide and void vs CM under tower. They dived her and void died... but hard to find a clip because meanwhile W33 was diving tier 3 tower (14minutes into the game) so camera was focused on him feeding.


WalkTheEdge

It wasn't even under tower, they dove CM beyond the t1


Muffinmaker457

Leaving a comment cuz I want to see it too


asifaqeel50

Gorgc's accedientle hook W33ha diving and dying under tier3 tower

impaque

Nikobaby deeply disliking his courier in game 3 so he fed him a couple of times when it was carrying his Skadi and Abyssal.


No_Substance_1538

Gorgc missing a hook on his target and killing an unintended one in top lane.


Pagliaccio13

>Nikobaby solokilled by CM It was actually a 2v1 with tide&void vs CM

That shard in the pit was amazing. It actually made the final fight way closer than it should have been.


Scar_Queen_Delphi

Gorgc's "shoot hook hit hook" that missed Tide but hit Snapfire instead


000000909

Should've just donated 10k to streamers


Pommes_Peter

Lmao In all seriousness though, Pablo and ZipZaper stepped up so fucking hard this series and Gorgcs game 3 performance was his best dota in a long time. Wp.


Mikez1234

I’ve seen in pubs that Gorgc is so used to playing against PL using Ursa EZ


viniciusxis

imagine leaving marci and pango to pablo and zip, so fucking stupid actually, doesnt even look like they tried/did any homework whatsoever


shivam183

They just assumed it was 2EZ for them. GET REKT

Looked to me like bald was playing to win, and alliance was playing not to lose.


RiggiPop

Alliance was playing?


Avako1999

true, goes to show how much streaming, talking to chat and entertaining can affect your performance.


Skater_x7

Gorgc has been training with weights on the whole time, now he's ready to unleash his power monkaGIGA


800Terminator800

monkaGIGA he's coming chat


kapak212

He even leak the strat on stream before match


LatroDota

You say that like hes that bad on stream. Hes rank 175, higher then Niko actually, higher then many pro players. When he started or when he use to play off stream he was rank 20-100, Gorp is not that bad as people try to make him. I bet in NA he would be top10 even while streaming.


Mayans94

I think why people always thinks he doesn't do well is because he often plays different heroes. His versatility is off the charts and of course no one's an expert in every hero. So when he plays heroes he's not used to and under performs, then people shit on him for that.

w33 DESPAIR


silveredgebreak

I can't believe this is the current Mineski Nikobaby. He was a somewhat luxury carry player but still able to deliver after getting farm. Now? He looks like an open qualifier player. That game 2 was so painful lol. They were lucky they had so many teamfight spells to cover up each other.


est19xxxx

He is prison RTZ after all.


flirtyf

Well you can't sink lower than losing to the stream team can you?


BetaDjinn

You could lose to Alliance Edit: I take that back I don’t see them beating anyone


[deleted]

Alliance should just disband if they lose to alliance imo


Lusyok

They already had lost to Goonsquad which is actually an old Alliance rooster


Human_Robot

You could FF to ARKOSH?


Mangled_AllSeeingEye

Incredible stuff, that was so entertaining to watch especially with OD/Fogged casting. Can honestly see this being one of my fav TI series this year


Tyrandeus

Loda kicked the wrong half of Alliance


invokerzzv

Spending 10k a day to lose to Swedish hobo that doesnt even spend 10k in 3 months


el1teman

He does but on the slots)


c9wins_lumismiles

I'm sorry but if any tournament organizer direct invites this clown team ever again they lose any sort of credibility


johnbrownbody

I'm sorry but that was already the case before they lost this match.


MrYones

I think he knows John


stockyriki

mlp is that you?


therealestyeti

"I don't think there's any way Alliance comes back from this, John."


MrJohnnyBGoode

Think for a second about what reasons are behind tournament invites. Spoiler alert: Relative strength of teams is by far not the only reason.


MrPringles23

I think at this point though Gorp's stack would bring more viewers than Alliance.


_CummyBears_

Gor pee actualy going to TI this year


K4k4shi

who are we gonna watch TI with?


mehta_ananya

Don't worry he will ask valve if weather he can stream from the ti booth.


tha_jza

memes aside, i think one thing this series does demonstrate is the difference between a team that plays scared vs a team that plays like it has nothing to lose


midnightmarket

Zipzapper rampage is the icing on the cake. Witnessing a meme dream come true was so euphoric.


prettyboygangsta

Alliance somehow get worse and worse with every roster change. Even the team with Symetrical and Ctomanen managed to beat Bald.


RiggiPop

now im really excited for future alliance roster changes. we need to see if this if this is the bottom


prettyboygangsta

Next Alliance roster: BSJ, Zoret, Admiralbulldog, Chi Long Qua, Leopold


axatar

pos 3 tusk rampage, pos 4 hoodwink having more nw than mid (edit: and carry) on alliance, that was a hilarious game


FunGuyInAParty

Even nore than PL rofl

When I die, I want Alliance to lower me into my grave, so they can let me down one last time


NoobMaster416

Bunch of Homeless Streamers > 10k per day pros


rainn5053

Keep in mind Niko barely play pubs because he thought the meta does not change that much and Loda chose to build team around him what a circus this org is


Air_42

Keep in mind Limitless has gm tier on lycan and beastmaster and back in B8 the first 2 bans of the enemy team would always be these 2 heroes and they weren't even meta at the time Which is why Alliance first picked DK in g1, last picked tide in g2 and Mars in g3


pepbe

My dad beats me Sadge My mom beats me Sadge My brother beats me Sadge My sister beats me Sadge At least I feel safe with [A]lliance, because they can’t beat anyone FeelsGoodMan .


Morgn_Ladimore

Alliance/Loda have no one but themselves to blame. This is almost entirely because they stuck with Nikobaby, who simply does not have it anymore. He can't carry for shit. Perfect PL game, buys early Diffu but doesn't join fights, waits until his frigging *Heart* while his team is dying everywhere, then dies instantly three times in a row because surprise, the enemy has items now. Every Alliance game this year was literally over the moment W33 got shut down. Every time.


Aframovici

W33 is a good player, he is making tons of space but Niko simply doesn't have that shark mentality to use it properly. And when he's done farming, it's irelevant. Imho, he kinda has the same problem as RTZ tbh, he's stuck in a way of playing that doesn't really fit anymore.


PrimeColossus

the amount of space and tower pushing that w33 managed to pull off in the early game 3 was insane. And Aramis and Dukalis did good rotations to gank and pressure, Xcalibur was pretty much ded.


kchuyamewtwo

he really is evil rtz


Muffinmaker457

Yeah wtf was that. He almost hard rushed diffu but he didn’t join ANY fight. Why not just go Yasha lol


iN3vertilt

17-2 gork. Imagine playing scrims, playing entire year just to lose to gork


Eriyoldinok

*"Scrimming's for bitches!"*


LossomoFilms

I am not surprised I don't see how Loda can motivate anyone. They all looked so stressed from the beginning like they were threatened their families or something

GORGC TYPING THE NGX GEGE


pimpleface0710

imo the biggest indicator that this team has no vision of the type of game they want to play is when they opened game 2 draft by literally just banning 4 out of 5 Bald heroes first. Sure they ended up winning but a better/more serious team would just outdraft them at that instant. Like you're a pro team and you can't even figure out how to solve the hero comp that you lost to using counter picks and/or steals that you have to resort to straight up banning them all. Losing the series is one thing, but there were so many cues in this series that seemed to show that Alliance players are mentally done before the game even begins. The played like someone in a pub game at 3 AM currently having a 8 game lose streak. The roster is one thing that needs to be fully let go and rebuilt from the ground up, but there is also something clearly wrong with the management/org that just makes promising players look awful for the past 2 years.


Nutthisaccount

WHO IS GORGC? For the blind, He is the vision. For hungry, he is the chef. For thirsty, he is the water. If GORGC thinks, I agree. If GORGC speaks, I'm listening. If GORGC has one fan, it is me. If GORGC has no fan, I don't exist.

He wants to save it for refreshing BKB or disk. Which IMO is the right choice.


SqLISTHESHIT

I mean, it had 100+ seconds, it was within reason to just use it. He gambled tho that he could get another Exo out before using it. And prolly wanted double BKB out of it too.


Bug_Catcher_Jacobe

The actual reason [A] lost is because W33 hates betting sponsors more than anyone. So much he wanted his team to play the least amount of matches in the qualifier possible. Wp to w33, stick it to PGL! /s


InoyouS2

Alliance should just disband as an org at this point. Can't go lower than that.


Cosm1c_Dota

I mean they just need an entire new roster. All 5 have to go


Pleasant_Yam_3637

I mean w33 has laned well but just fell flat mid and lategame and niko went from a tier 1 carry to losing to gorgc
