The team quickly made a name for themselves in online tournaments and qualifiers and were soon picked up by Team Liquid.

Gustav Magnusson (s4) was born on April 1, 1992, in Sweden. He currently plays as an offlaner in Alliance while leading the team as captain also. His Approx. earnings is about $2,565,759.

After his first successes in professional Heroes of Newerth, he switched over to Dota 2 to pursue his luck there. After an initial period of orientation, he joined No Tidehunter at the end of 2012, which was an immediate success, ultimately leading up to winning The International 3 in 2013.

Background: -

s4 started his Dota 2 career in early 2012 joining Team Empire who at the time were experimenting with lineups. However, after only 2 months Empire switched players again and s4 created The Tough Bananas together with Balsam who he knew from playing WC3 back in 2003.

The International 2014 - 2015

At TI4, s4 started the tournament by participating in a solo tournament. In the first round, s4 defeated defending champion iceiceice 2-0, then came back from a 0-1 deficit against Arteezy to win the match 2-1, and finally emerged victorious 2-1 against Ferrari_430 and won the trophy.

In the main, tournament, however, the team hit a major roadblock and shockingly departed at the group stages, unable to make it to the main event. After which, s4 departed from Alliance to join Puppey, Kuroky, BigDaddy, and Fly in forming Team Secret. With Team Secret, s4 continued to win multiple tournaments, taking first at ESL One Frankfurt, MarsTv Dota League, and the Summit, s4 and his team became favorites to win The International 2015. The team, however, was disappointed by a 7th-8th place departure at the hands of Virtus Pro. The team eventually suffered a meltdown, and all members excluding Puppey departed from Secret. s4 would eventually return to Alliance once again, though the team would suffer a 9th-12th placing at the Frankfurt Major.

The Shanghai Major and post-The International 2016

Despite its resurgence, s4 and the rest of Alliance soon hit a slump at the Shanghai Major, taking only 7th-8th, a blow that the team never seemed to recover from. Following Shanghai, the team continued to have mediocre to disappointing results at EPICENTER, the Manila Major, and ESL One Frankfurt.

However, he is the first to add a second major title to his record in addition to an International as he won The Kiev Major, also with OG. Since then, the record has only been matched by Miracle-, Puppey, n0tail, ana, and JerAx.

What is Lorem Ipsum?It's time for them to learn their place. Reina storms the King of Iron Fist Tournament in #TEKKEN8  Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.     Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.Where can I get some?There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised
