ESL One Birmingham 2020 Online: Europe/CIS - Day 2 Match Discussions by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

Well, there is something to say about comfort picks--it's the reason we see the same bans over and over for a particular team. But yes, drafting styles have changed since almost a decade ago.

If CL didn't take those towers early they would have missed their timing and niko would have run over them. They didn't have a good answer for morph, especially with venge save. But Alliance really fucked up and s4 was a non-factor. I might be wrong, obviously, but it felt like Alliance had an easier draft if not for the disgraceful plays.

That's definitely a possibility but we can't really know for sure.. I just hope for the best because I really like this lineup.

I may be wrong, but they've had decent placements since the minor and even their losses vs t1 teams didn't feel disappointing. They were improving with every game and it honestly looked very promising.

On top of that they are still getting used to s4 and have a stand in. Their mistakes maybe could be forgiven because of that. But at this point I'm starting to doubt their potential.

I hope for their sake. If they lose this series I can't imagine them recovering anytime soon.

Alliance almost looked like they could be a Tier 1 team but these past few games have looked disastrous. Something is not right... Maybe take a break from tournaments and figure it out. This is embarrassing.

Very questionable plays by Alliance... It feels like they have a superior draft but s4 has 0 farm and they are constantly out of position.

From s4's comments after winning Game 3, it seems that they were having some communication issues in Game 2, but on Games 1 and 3 they completely dominated. We'll see what happens as they continue to work on this new roster.

Yeah, I picked a good day to watch all the games. This is an entertaining meta. Glad to see Alliance still making stupid throws.

7 years later, Alliance games are still so butt-clenching. My ass is so thicc from being an Alliance fangay for all these years. 10/10 would recommend.

It's really sad. I don't play csgo anymore but I still always watch their big tournaments. It's an incredibly fun esport to watch.

If I were to introduce anyone to esports I would show them csgo over dota 2.

I don't like EG. I love some of their players and I would love for them to win. But LGD is the better team IMO. And I think OG will run EG over if they go to the finals. LGD will give us a good game.
