The Alliance have officially announced the parting of ways with Johan “Nuts” Andersson.
“Our time with Johan has been great, and even though we didn’t win any tournament together I think we achieved quite a lot together. We started off the season quite slow, with some lackluster results, but we fought our way back, and qualifying for the major together + winning the WCA Open Qualifier meant a lot to us as a team. Nonetheless we have all felt that something has been off, and even though our results at the major hit the team quite hard I would not put it as a reason to why we make this change.”
– Jonathan “Loda” Berg, Team Captain of the Alliance Dota team
This marks the second time that the Swede played with the team in the last year. He had played as a member of the team in January for a short period of time before joining Burden United. He then joined the team again in time for the Frankfurt Major season in September.
Woo, free agent couple of days before roster locks, at least I'm Mynuts again

“This past months have been a mixture of success and adversity but I’m happy to have played with Alliance during this time, even though it didn’t work out in the end. I wish all of them the best of luck going forward!”
– Johan “Nuts” Andersson
