The competitive Dota 2 scene revolves around TI, Dota 2's yearly world championship tournament that has regularly broken the record for the biggest prize pool for a single esports event year after year. Everyone that reaches this prestigious event does," added Alliance CEO and co-founder Jonathan “Loda” Berg. We all wanted more from this TI but that doesn’t mean we didn’t give it our all this year. Especially a friend as special and important to Alliance’s history as the son of Magnus himself, S4. “It’s always sad to say goodbye to a friend. While being an unconventional position for a captain the DPC seasons with Alliance were a massive success finishing second and first place respectively over the two seasons," Alliance chief strategy officer Kelly Ong said in a statement.
Despite many challenges, S4 delivered in his captain role from the offlane. "S4 is a legend not only to Alliance but in the Dota scene and his return to the organisation played a massive part in helping the team qualify for The International 10. In TI10, Alliance barely managed to qualify for the Main Event with a 4-12 record in the Group Stage before getting knocked out of the tournament by T1 in the second round of the lower bracket. However, the team only managed to finish 13th in the ONE Esports Singapore Major in April and 9th-12th in the WePlay AniMajor in June. With s4's departure, Alliance's Dota 2 roster is now down to just star carry player Nikolay "Nikobaby" Nikolov and position 4 support Simon "Handsken" Haag after midlaner Linus "Limmp" Blomdin and Belarusian position 5 support player Artsiom "fng" Barshak left the team last Thursday (21 October).Īlliance will be looking to revamp its roster after they followed up a dominant showing in the 2021 Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) regular seasons with lacklustre performances in the Majors and at TI10.Īlliance finished second and first in the two seasons of the upper division of the DPC's Western European regional league. The competitive Dota 2 scene's post-The International 10 (TI10) roster shuffle continue as Alliance announced on Monday (25 October) that team captain and offlaner Gustav "s4" Magnusson has parted ways with the team.
