Loda was one of those players that everyone looked up to at some point in their career. After playing in many, many tournaments and achieving pretty much everything, the Swedish legend has retired from the professional scene.

A New Generation. Today @LodaBerg steps up to coach the Dota 2 team. It is the conclusion of the Legend's pro player career, but he will always carry on its legacy. #LiveAndLetLoda Additionally, Alliance wish to welcome @qojqva1 who has joined the team!https://t.co/uVe8dJW8db — Alliance (@theAllianceGG) June 3, 2018

However, Jonahthan’Loda’Berg will be stepping is as a coach for Alliance. The role of the coach is becoming increasingly important and as we can see even the smaller teams (the current state of Alliance) are starting to realize the power of the “6th player”.

Loda has stared his professional career way back during DotA Allstars. He has played in teams such as MeetYourMakers, SK Gaming and many more. However, everyone relates to Loda as one of the best carry players in Europe and the star player of Alliance.

TI 3 Champions

Together with s4, AdmiralBulldog, EGM and Akke, Loda won TI 3 in one of the best finals of all time, even to this date. This is surely the peak in his career.

Despite that, the Swedish squad could not keep up with the level that they’ve shown in the tournament and eventually slowly faded away. It was not until several months ago when Loda decided to re-assemble the iconic European team.

Sadly, the current state if Alliance has brought them to the tier two level but they will eventually bounce back where they belong.

Qojqva1 will be the one who will have the uneasy task to replace the legend. The German player has has proven his talent many times by now so we are pretty sure that he will be a good fit for the team. Together with the rest of the squad and following the guidance of Loda, Alliance could be on the rise once again.
