Maybe CIS is a good indicator for you?
Alex deserves to participate, but he won't win, people like other players more.

Before CIS-2013, I thought that Alex was just one of the top players, capable of doing roughly the same as the others, but at the same time more focused, assertive, and goal-oriented, hence the results.
But, after watching his replays, I realized that the difference between him and the other top players lies in their knowledge and understanding of the game - giving away 2-3K for a color from the start, he managed to maintain the pace or even take the lead from the very first days, develop no worse, or even better than his opponent by the end of the first week, and noticeably overtake him in power, hero development, and explored territory in the second week.
Each time, he planned a red rush on 131, and he bought the color specifically for it, but in reality, he didn't have to red rush, his army was stronger even without it.
Therefore, I think that in mirror matches (both in Wargames and hypothetical SoDs), Alex will give a hard time to all three of the aforementioned players. Not with a clean sweep, of course, but with a noticeable advantage, approximately 2 to 1.
Specifically regarding the players:
- Maretti plays too safely, tries to score a goal, starts attacking a day or two later than necessary. That is, he doesn't lose games on his own, but he doesn't use the temporary advantage in development effectively enough.
- Stinger, to put it in chess terms, "makes too many moves" - makes quick, superficial moves, which is why he often loses small things despite having a correct strategic plan. This is good for blitz, but not very good for long control. And sometimes he "misses" things, doesn't take into account fatal coincidences or hidden reserves of the opponent, here the situation is the opposite of Maretti.
- I can't say anything about Homunculus, I've only seen a couple of his games.
As for Alex, I don't see any obvious weaknesses in his playing style, he is strong in all components.
And considering the frequency of training, this trio plays more often, and skill in any cyber game is training and constant grinding. A very simple example is Antonha Hellight, he would say the same thing. I think he took this trait from Dota :)
