LODA DOTA DRAMA
As it happens after the whole silliness of it all we spoke and apologised to each other. Subsequent statements were made by Loda saying that he wanted to play with s4, who he considered to be the best mid player in Sweden. On the back of another great Magnus performance, No Tidehunter took a quick lead. Swedish veterans and former teammates Loda and Akke filled the spots. I will always play Dota, but if I replace myself in this roster, then I will retire. The reaction has been massively over the top and it’s amusing to me that so many, condemning me for alleged use of violence, would actually threaten me with violence without seeing the hypocrisy of that. Some jokes land, some don’t, some upset people, some give everyone a laugh.
Kelly got pissed about it. Instead, s4 went middle on Queen of Pain, up against Puck. Hungry for revenge, s4 managed a dominant lead in the reverse matchup, firstblooding Korok only 3 minutes in. Thorin felt the situation needed the insight of the top Esports Historian, AKA he jumped in on twitter to provide hot takes. As I said, it’s all a bit silly and it’s a shame something so nonsensical as this has overshadowed a great event. A rather slow first game featuring yet another s4 Magnus favored No Tidehunter, due to a freefarming Antimage. In the deciding match, the two went up against each other in a Shadow Fiend mirror matchup without items.
Despite two failed attempts at pushing high-ground and the enemy Gyrocopter farming a Divine Rapier, No Tidehunter managed to kill him and take the Rapier along with the series away from RoX. What I won’t ever accept is that I have to bow down to an internet mob and change who I am, especially when the furore is based on half-truths and misinformation.

If Team Liquid and Team Secret will get invited [they have already guaranteed their invitations], then things will get much easier. They were not able to confirm the official details of the incident at this early stage but did recall an assault being reported on Saturday.

The reverse matchup did not go nearly as one-sided, with s4 still being able to take a lead on Viper. Pulse targeted EternalEnvy’s Undying and AdmiralBulldog’s offlane heroes in their dora and s4 had full choice of heroes, playing Magnus in game 1 and Templar Assassin in game 2 in a sweep.
On the back of this s4 become active all over the map, but good rotations from VP allowed them to take a kill lead. DreamHack’s witnesses do not believe that Berg touched Lewis before Lewis grabbed him.
Richard Lewis “initiated physical contact” according to DreamHack
This time items were allowed. In the reverse matchup s4 dominated SyndereN, taking a quick firstblood two minutes in and building a strong lead off of it, ultimately closing the series after a sneaky second kill using his Ultimate.
ESL One Frankfurt Despite a disappointing DreamHack Summer for the team, where they only managed to win against Keita Gaming with two losses to Darer and mousesportsthey were picked ddrama by Copenhagen Wolves in July. With both players fiercly harassing each other, KuroKy was forced to deny himself to Roshan, which allowed s4 to keep up.
Korok narrowly lost the man fight and s4 took the series Secret vs Gambit 10m.

Good ganking by s4’s team secured an early lead, which spiralled into a over the course of the next 20 minutes, closing out the game with a strong performance.
In HoN, s4 was best known for playing a utility core, most often in the middle lane. Loda confronted RLewis about it. This also secured their participation in the Main Event.
Signify vs Reckoning 4 days. Off lloda back of that economic lead, s4 took a creepscore lead and ultimately dove Fear’s tier 1 tower to take the first game. There is a slight chance there will be more than one trade. After all, calling somebody a ‘groupie’ that he’d ‘kicked out of bed’ was always going to hurt somebody, even if it didn’t hurt a public figure in the Dota community. The sign had, however, been made by Kelly Ong Xiao Wei, the manager and self-described ‘mom’ of Alliance.
A7 7 – 8th. Two weeks later, No Tidehunter participated in DreamHack Winterwhich was the tournament dpta made s4 famous for his Magnus play.
With drmaa tournament win on the line, he was once again forced into a Shadow Fiend mirror matchup. Jonathan will be welcome at all events in the future, however we would like to reiterate that aggressive behaviour is not acceptable.
Storm vs coL 3 days. Joining his team, s4 entered the fourth International as the defending champions.
It loca not seem so bad sometimes, but when teams like The Final Tribe go to LANs… The difference is mostly due to routine, team play and clashes within tier-2 teams. At present, no official action has been taken either by DreamHack or by the Swedish authorities. The creepscore battle was still won by KuroKy initially, but calm and collected play allowed s4 to overcome it. Lod[A] and Richard Lewis have At TI4s4 started the tournament by participating in solo tournament.
Since writing yesterday’s article about the violent altercation between CS: On the back of a strong creepscore lead, Fear drew firstblood. Loda could be described as ‘in his face’ but did not initiate physical contact.
They took my details and said it was unlikely any further action would be taken. The assertion that these were veiled threats are Lewis’ and hard to verify, given the nature of social media.
Lod[A] and Richard Lewis havea thing.
In game two, s4’s Queen of Pain crushed Dendi’s Dark Seer and proceeded to participate in most of the early game kills. Only Loda’s mistake was just giving these guys attention. Idk what Thorin has to do with it, but this Lewis dude is kind of very annoying and full of himself from what I have seen. The Semifinals featured RoXwho let s4’s Magnus through the first banning phase, warranting a firstpick for No Tidehunter.
