Everything about betting on Alliance

Alliance kicked off under the GoodGame agency (yep, the Twitch subsidiary backed by Amazon). But in 2016 they went fully player-owned—meaning every win puts more Sh in their own pockets. That shift grabbed the spotlight of esports betting sites, especially after they snagged the 2013 International title with the biggest prize in esports history.

As a savvy punter, you’ll spot that Alliance’s roster changes can sway the odds. They’ve signed big names like StarCraft legend Naniwa in 2013 and Super Smash Bros. pro Armada in 2014. But new league rules in late 2013 forced them out of the EU League of Legends Championship Series and led to releasing SortOf, their last StarCraft II player. Since they’re not tied to a giant agency, emerging talent keeps knocking—so watch line-ups closely before you stake your KSh.

Alliance isn’t a one-trick pony. Their Dutch racers on the Trackmania circuit show off insane reflexes in time-trial formats. It’s like watching marathon greats chase world records—in this case, you’re timing laps, not kilometres.

They’ve also gone hard into battle royales like Apex Legends and Fortnite. Two- or three-man squads choose legends with unique skills and coordinate to clutch the win. Keep your eyes peeled for combos that mirror the precision of a Kenyan football team executing a perfect build-up—tight synergy is everything.

On the Smash stage, Alliance’s Super Smash Bros. Melee squad battles with a damage-percentage system instead of health bars. If you’re into super smash bros melee, study those percentages—knowing when a player’s at 150% means they’re one hit away from flying offscreen.

Consistency is key, and Alliance ticks that box. Since 2013, their match record speaks volumes—even if they’ve hit rough patches. Rather than chase every tournament, they laser-focus on a handful of titles. That’s like an EPL side concentrating on the title race instead of juggling five cups—result? Better performance when it counts.

They also keep a tight squad. Fewer players means less guesswork for you when you’re making Alliance-based bets. More players equals more variables—here, it’s a lean team of elites, so you know who you’re backing.

Alliance’s crowning moment came at the 2013 International, where they overcame Na’Vi 3-2 in the final after a flawless 14-0 group stage. They slipped a bit in 2014, tying 11th with a 6-9 record and then pivoting to other games.

In their 2013 EU League of Legends run, Alliance finished Spring Split at 16-12, behind SK Gaming and Fnatic. Froggen grabbed MVP honours, but they fell 4th in playoffs. Come Summer, they went 21-7 and took the League of Legends World Championship crown with a 3-1 final win over Fnatic.

Total Prize Pool

Across 360+ tournaments, Alliance has pocketed a whopping KSh 890,259,720. A massive 84% came from Dota 2 thanks to its rich prize pools and Alliance’s dominance there. Other titles? They’ve earned KSh 15,045,288 in Apex Legends and KSh 39,126,834 in fighting games so far. Most punters focus on Dota 2, but remember—Alliance’s current roster leans into Fortnite, Apex Legends, Trackmania and Smash, so update your dota 2 predictions accordingly.

A team’s as strong as its MVPs. Alliance’s top ten earners (all from Sweden) include: • Gustav "s4" Magnusson • Jonathan "Loda" Berg • Jerry "EGM" Lundqvist • Joakim "Akke" Akterhall • Henrik "AdmiralBulldog" Ahnberg • Simon "Handsken" Haag • Linus "Limmp" Blomdin • Nikolay "Nikobaby" Nikolov • Adam "Armada" Lindgren • Artsiom "fng" Barshak

Backing these players is like picking your national 4×400m relay team—everyone’s got a signature skill, and synergy is gold. Trackmania racers need precision like Kipchoge’s pacing; battle royale legends overlap with FPS sharpshooting; Smash champs rely on split-second timing. Just remember, Alliance’s managers call the shots on tournament line-ups, so check the roster before you bet.

When scouting for the best betting sites for esports, make sure they cover markets on Fortnite, Super Smash Bros., Apex Legends and Trackmania. If you see Alliance listed, you’re in luck—just look out for the tournament start dates and jump in when pools open.

You’ll fund your account quickly with M-Pesa or Airtel Money (credit cards work too). Keep an eye on semi-finals: by then you’ve seen Alliance’s form, and you’ll have a solid read on odds. Battle royales can be wild—too many players on the map—so if you prefer fewer variables, go for racing titles or Smash’s 1v1 bouts.
