Jonathan "Loda" Berg has long been the face of Alliance, and lead them to a world championship by winning The International 3 back in 2013. He will now captain an entirely new Dota 2 team for Alliance, as the organization has just released all of the rosters that failed to make it to TI7. Loda will now look to build a new team and may even change position in the game to facilitate this. Typically Alliance has been full of Swedish players, with some players from neighboring countries also being allowed in. It made me question why I play Dota.
