Alliance Goes all-Swede Anew, Former Captain Comes Home
Renowned Swedish Dota 2 team Team Alliance ([A])picks up two former players – including their former captain – to round out their all-Swede team, the team announced today.
Swedish player Gustav “S4” Magnusson, who got kicked right after The International (TI) 5 by Team Secret, goes back to his motherland-based team which he led in TI3 to take home at least $1.4 million. While Swedish young star Johan “MyNuts” Andersson will be playing once again for [A] after playing with the team some time earlier this year.
New lineup for @theAllianceGG : 1. @LodaBerg 2. @s4dota 3. @AdmiralBulldog 4. @MynutsDota 5. @FollowAkke #RoadToTI6 #AllianceFighting

FEATURED STORIES
The Swedish team went to prominence when they steamrolled over teams during TI3 with their “rat dota,” a game strategy focusing on destroying the enemy’s base which they popularized in 2013.
However, starting 2014 the team started as they lose S4 and support player EGM. Since then, they haven’t find their right footing in the Dota 2 scene. [A] didn’t make it to this year’s The International as they were eliminated during the European Qualifiers.
Will this line-up send Alliance to the upper echelons of Dota 2 once again? Only time will tell. — with reports from Jasper “Captain Art” Arcalas
