There are degrees of 'not trying'. When it comes to Secret, some people were suggesting that perhaps they're kinda waiting on the new patch, perhaps spending some time doing non-Dota things or playing single-player videogames. That would mean they're not trying their absolute hardest. But it's far from match-fixing. It's not that black and white. | ||

Concerning Secret's games they did indeed look very stupid in a few. But dota is a very snowbally game, if you are somewhat out of it mentally games can get out of hand fast and then they become a feedfest. I don't know if there was any real reason for it other than the players not maybe really getting into the games after taking a break after majors, but next up for them is WCA so there we should see where they really stand again. Also there's another sub called distiled (Prokhorenko Nikolay Yurievich). Solitude's name I have seen on some streams and on the leaderboards, this other guy is a total unknown for me. | ||

Kinda hoping to see them vs EG/OG/VG well we can't have everything they didn't decline, they were in the qualifiers and dropped the qualifier cause that was the time they were gonna travel to some tournament(not sure which one i think nanyang) and they already had too many games that time iirc | ||

They need to go back to scrimming and figure out the meta I guess. | ||

Puppey's drafts have been bad and everyone on the team has been playing worse. Envy is the least guilty, and Wee has looked a little better than the rest, but even those two are looking less good than when they were winning. I'm hopeful they'll figure out what's up. I still think they're just lacking a little bit of crispness and confidence. Mentality is important. | ||

Nothing to be remotely concerned about for Secret fans, imo. Still doomsayers and "lol patchteam" being posted everywhere... | ||

Nothing to be remotely concerned about for Secret fans, imo. Still doomsayers and "lol patchteam" being posted everywhere... The concern is also due to them not doing well online in the end of last patch, and then this LAN came. They've had some poor performances in the last 2 weeks or so. But it isn't about the patch, and I don't think it's even due to other teams somehow figuring them out in the end of last patch in the draft. They just played poorly, idk really why. But that said even some of the best teams sometimes have bad phases. EG lost first round of ESL, EG lost before TI at MLG to London Conspiracy and didn't make it to playoffs. Secret 2.0 almost didn't qualify to SL12 and then got last place at the LAN itself only to start dominating some weeks later. Two weeks of poor play alone is hardly cause for great concern after Secret's play in all tournaments before this unless there is something going on inside the team but that's a bit hard to know. | ||
