How Alliance kicked in China's door, flipped the Dota 2 script and stole the G-1 title away
Ойындар
Today, Alliance is best known to the Dota world as the Swedish roster that conquered The International 3, in one of the most dramatic grand finals ever.
But, in the lead-up to TI3, many Dota fans would have been surprised to see CIS and European teams duking it out in the finals. That’s because a different region had dominated the previous International.
China.
But Alliance, already looking like one of the strongest teams in 2013, set out to prove the scene wrong. They set out to show that a European team had what it took to dominate this new game.
And they did it by bringing the fight to China, and beating them on home soil.

In 2013, akke chen/enchantress is a must ban, you can see in the TI finals, Navi ban most of their first ban for enchantress/chen, as well as Alliance afraid of Puppey's chen and ban it

TI 10 is proof of that
This videos deserve millions of views. They are just so well done
Damn I was there at G1 in Shanghai back in 2013 and I still have pictures of me with EGM and AKKE. It was really a pity I didn't have a chance to get close to loda coz there were so many Chinese fans since dota1. I started playing dota around late 2012 so I didn't know how famous loda was in the community. How time flies buddy

Post TI10, we still talking about how Alliance broke the game.
Not a Dota 2 player, but respect and great story
since the late nTh i became a fan of the source material of Alliance, that team was so amazing to watch, so many groundbreaking strategies, so much thinking out of the box. Amazing team it was
I think you underestimate the power of alliance. The thing is you can’t ban all of their signature heroes: S4 - puck and batrider Bd - LD and NP EGM - naga and io Akke - Chen
4:05 at first meeting in china, you give me a big gift
I might be late, but OG, the western team, sent their regards.

OG is a great team but we know what happens when they start the season strong, they choke at TI just like VP. BOth 2018 and 2019 they had no pressure and went to ti9 with good and cheesy strats. THey win 2 lans in 2 years and they're the best? I dont think so.

2013 was one of the most important years for Dota 2. Showed that every region can be the best.
In the end Icefrog had to stop them :D
Great video!
Navi,IG,Alliance these are the teams that I'm seeing in old DotA1 maps, these teams are legend wayback Warcraft3, I'm so glad they got the aegis,the wins from these teams are like inorder,I just hope that orange or mineski win a TI wayback that time
this is the pinnacle of dota, best team comes out after alliance won ti
10.32 that cycle has finally been broken with OG
Fun fact, this was not the first time a western team win a Chinese Dota tournament. Before Dota 2 Loda and his clssmates (all Swedish) went to china and conquered it, that's where he got the L-God title.
Great video 5 years later
I like how at 4:45 they had Joakim Akke Akterhall mistaken for Gustav Magnusson aka s4
Only thing a remember was lv1 Rosh that make eventually the frog to put tps on CD anf Nerf Roshan xp
Great play on the lonedruid Bulldog was carrying that game Krappa
Kuroky was well aware of this, just wow.
G1 Season 5 was a teaching game for them. They didn't learn at ahl during TI3 either. But sadly within a year or two everyone of alliance's signature heroes got nerfed. NP, Batrider, Io, Puck etc.. Wings gaming did the same during TI as well too bad the Chinese disband them. Another good run was ESL One New York by VG gaming solidifying Fy as a god tier support.
you knew the enemy team fucked up when you see that [A] next to a NP
Somewhere out there Bulldog is looking down and is smiling up there 😇
He ironed his shirt. We have prevailed!
