One thing id like explained, why kick the 2nd best invoker player in the world in the current invoker meta for another, better version of EE(that being rtz). Makes no since to me, what are they gonna play mid now, they dont have an invoker, dp, zeus, wr, qop, itd. player... same problem as with s4 back in 2015 when out of all mid heroes he could only play qop. Arteezy being best SF in the world means nothing atm, thus i dont understand artEEzy combo at this point in time.

Wasn't RTZ a good mid before going full 1 pos carry? I believe he was good enough.

He was one of the best when he could play SF every game or Bristle. That is irrelevant now, and which is why i raised this question.

RTZ can probably play any role in dota and any hero if he devotes himself to learning it. Maybe not a 5.

He's already got 90% of what makes mid demanding: the mechanical stuff. Concern about heropools is just 1 week of grinding away per hero, and RTZ is really good at grinding out understanding.

I hope you are right, secret 2015 was my favorite team of all time and now 2/4 of my favorite players are no secret, just need zai and miracle now along with puppy, rtz and pld and my dream team is a reality.

RTZ can play all the heroes you mentioned. Secret also probably realize there's likely gonna be a meta shifting patch before TI6

I can also play all those heroes, doesnt make me an adequate replacement for w33. Am saying it would be more logical to replace EE with RTZ instead of W33.

He can play DP and WR (to some extent he was one of the first WR spammers before it came into meta but not as good as w33ha), he can play invoker on pubs but he's not good at the hero in pro-games as far as i've seen. I doubt invoker is gonna last long before it gets nerfed.

He was always the weaker qop player for the teams he played with. (compared to suma1l and s4). OD was like one of his best heroes back before he switched full 1 position but idk it's OD it's gonna get nerf hammered.

I think the switch is more of player difference than hero pool difference.

TA, Invoker, Puck, Storm, Naga, SF, QoP, Lesh

the short term memory ppl have of rtz is hilarious

the guy was #1 mid in the world for a reason, just because ppd sucks and can't realize that, utilizing him as a 1 position instead was his own fault, and probably why rtz left

secret - never again

Arteezy and Universe are much better than W33 and Misery. I don't even understand how this is up for debate.

Guess people take the Sprouteezy memes of Reddit too seriously?

To be fair, Universe has been shiting the bed with EG lately, of course in theory he is better than misery and maybe his performance was because of internal problems inside the team but we should wait and see

He was terrible against Ehome and sub par against mvp

Yeah man that's what I've been saying this whole time. There's no way so many secret fans are this uninformed and jump to conclusions. This is a very understandable and high potential business transaction. From what Ive heard ee and rtz have some history and this bond can translate to better team composition while puppey and 1437 make the decisions. You cant really judge rtz coming from a completely different team, being on secret will be sorta a new environment with EE and PLD there. We don't know yet how it'll work out, we'll just have to wait and see.
My bet is that this new secret team ends up being pretty darn solid. Maybe not at first, but over time.

Universe is easily an upgrade. No debate at all. Rtz though is questionable, not because of skill difference, but because of skill sets. He and w33 are very different players. Rtz's style for the past 2 years have been always the #1 either in safe lane or mid lane. He is unproven with space creating heroes like invoker qop puck zeus brew etc which is fine if he has a teammate that can play that role from the safelane or take his place in mid (fear Mason s4) but envy isn't such a player (or is unproven too).

EE and Arteezy have amongst the highest work rate of any pros, have respected each other a great deal for years, and aren't particularly egotistical. I think it's very likely they'll figure out how to work together.

If they don't they don't. But I've seen a lot of people saying W33 is the better player, not just the better fit. That's just wrong.
