Alliance vs Ferzee — the main contenders for Reshuffle Madness crown

The battle of the two fast-paced teams of the European and CIS region. Both teams have shown their best at the start of the season. The Feerze have qualified for major while the Alliance for ESL One Hamburg 2018 respectively.

Alliance

The Alliance is regaining its former greatness, which they lost after winning the TI3 in 2013. Loda was able to collect an optimal lineup, which perfectly combines both experience and youth. In addition, three new players came from Sweden, and this is the Alliance’s trademark as the Swedish players have always been a priority.
The team in its current lineup can compete within the European region and the teams of Pupey and Kurok. The Alliance don’t use common methods – the team has its own, fresh look at the drafts and strategies. It is worth mentioning Mirana (19 games – 84% winrate), as the most powerful hero in the performance of the Alliance. This Swedish hero is relevant both at the first and second positions, which makes the Alliance’s rozdraft flexible and unpredictable for opponents.

Feerze

It was hard to imagine a more successful start for a young team that didn’t even have an organization. Feerze was able to recapture the second slot from Spirits and to take their place in the major and in October the “chess players” have to defend the honor of the CIS region on the first major of the season. Fresh look at the game and a crazy hunger for the victories from all these forgotten players always ends up with such a benefit.

There are no young and talented performers in the team and the bet is made on the boundless experience of time-hardened players. Everyone in the lineup can be recognized as Dota’s old-timers as many of them began their way even from the first version of “Protection of the Ancients.”
Feerze like to build a draft around good characters for a teamfight. The guys are able to bring such an intensity and pace to the game, due to the lack of greedy core characters, which are loved by many teams now.

The match promises to be very interesting. It can’t be said that both teams played flawlessly, but if you take the start of the season they really proved to be better than others – it’s a fact. But at the same time, the teams hold on to the different styles of playing. Alliance play greedily while Feerze like to occupy an enemy base as soon as they can due to their heroes are not very demanding in availability of expensive items. As the game practice shows, both teams perfectly implement their heroes and ideas to the game but still you can’t say they play flawlessly. There is a high probability that teams will be able to impose their own rules to the game so map exhange looks very predictable.
