Loda Apologizes for Alliance's Embarrassing Performance: Calls for Improvement
The International 3 Champions Alliance has been experiencing a challenging phase in its history as an esports organization. The organization's Dota 2 team has had several underwhelming performances recently, that have led to frustration and disappointment among fans and players alike. Recently, the organization’s CEO and co-founder Jonathan "Loda" Berg took to Twitter to express his frustrations and acknowledge the team's shortcomings. However, the tweet was quickly deleted.
Alliance’s Struggles in Division II and a Disappointing Start in Tour 3
Alliance's struggles in the competitive Dota 2 scene have been evident for some time. The team finds themselves competing in Division II since Tour 1, unable to secure promotion to Division I. Their journey in Tour 3 has begun on a discouraging note, suffering a loss in their opening game against Level UP, a relatively unknown, unsponsored team. These setbacks have further amplified concerns surrounding the team's performance and their ability to reclaim their former glory.
In a Tweet, Alliance's captain, Loda expressed his frustration and embarrassment for the team's recent performances. He acknowledged the lack of satisfactory explanations and admitted feeling ashamed for letting down their fans. He labeled the team a "meme team" and emphasized the urgent need to regroup and elevate their game. His candid statement not only showcased accountability but also highlighted the determination to turn things around.
“I’m sorry and genuinely embarrassed for our performance in Dota2 and tired of making excuses. There is no explanation that is good enough. I’m ashamed that we are letting everyone down and we look like a meme team. We need to get our shit together or get the fuck out”
Loda's public Tweet serves as a wake-up call for the entire Alliance roster. The team's disappointing results and their current position in Division II demand immediate action.
Alliance will have to play for a slot in The International 12 by competing in the open qualifiers, where the competition will be very fierce with the likes of Team Secret and Nigma competing in it. Only time will tell if Alliance can rise above its current circumstances and reestablish itself as a dominant force in the Dota 2 landscape.
