A recent stream by Ludwig “Luddie” Hall caught the attention of CS2 fans. On it Robin “robiin” Sjögren talked about his attempt to rebuild the Alliance team before an important tournament, but his efforts failed. Interestingly, the player was full of ambition, yet he himself was relegated to the bench just days after discussing the changes.
Robiin's story raises the issue of how even experienced players find it difficult to find the optimal team configuration. His account of how he wanted to change the lineup makes this news interesting for anyone who follows the twists and turns of cybersports and the development of teams.
What preceded the Alliance reshuffle?
In August 2024, Robin “robiin” Sjögren was forced to leave the Alliance team after a string of mediocre results. He held the position of captain, but the team failed to make any meaningful progress under his leadership. On the stream he detailed how he wanted to rebuild the roster before Dreamhack, replacing b0den and PlesseN with poiii and eraa in order to improve the team.
Robiin's concrete steps and suggestions
Robiin's plans were to replace two players in the lineup with players he felt could significantly improve the team's results. However, poiii player had already signed with the EYEBALLERS team, which complicated the situation. Also robiin said that he wanted to invite eraa even after the end of the summer break, but this plan was not realized. Interestingly, two days before the start of training robiin found out that he himself was moved to the bench, which was an unpleasant surprise for him.
Conclusion
As a result of the failed reshuffle robiin was forced to leave the team and Markus “UpE” Johansson took his place. The situation around Alliance shows how difficult it is to find the right solutions to improve the roster, especially in a highly competitive environment.
