Universe just brought the Day 1 Curse from EG.

Seriously though, i think they will come back tomorrow.

In general the last Secret was never convincing in the early stages of tournaments either. Though obviously they didn't always lose (like EG didn't) but even in tournaments they did well in they at least dropped games and sometimes lost series. We'll see how it goes tomorrow. In good news for goody at least he will get to see Secret play a lot if they happen to start winning. Had they won the group they only would have played on stage on Sunday.

I have to say it - cant help it:

Hope that they don't lose again as that will be a disaster.

Ya but that was quite a while back, I meant with the most recent lineup. But of course it's expected that with it being the first game of the new lineup people will react strongly very early on.

Thats the problem, your first real game its LAN

Secret should go to more online leagues or stuff like that, especially considering they are a new team and scrims are fine and its THE WAY to practice, but "real" games help you put in practice all the thery you gather from scrims

Sure its 1 series, and they could easily go and win the tournament, but at some point they looked remarkably uncoordinated, like when they relocate into specter and got rekt, a few seconds before that Universe scouted that Puck and Lion was there, why would they go anyway ? or Envy using song slightly later than he should and let rtz and pie die

In that relocate into Spectre Universe didn't see anyone, he only saw the Puck right at the same time as the relocate was already coming in and Universe was going for the stun. And a bit before that he even walked behind the Spectre a bit so it wasn't that unreasonable of him to assume that all of Empire weren't quite that close.

Yeah. They just need game time to gel.

Empire though deserves a lot of credit. They looked very good.

I am actually 100% sure they are going to stomp EHOME tomorrow, Universe most likely going to be mvp also

Agree man, im so happy that Empire played that well.

I expected the result, first games and all. They will need time playing officials to improve, also it will be interesting to see how they perform after the patch.

If they lose vs EHOME today, oh boy the shitshow that it will be.

I personally think this team has good potential but Universe seems lost and they often tunnel vision ALOT, like that OD relocate at bottom and other Wisp nyx gank

They will have nightmares about that 2nd game and the stolen black hole pretty sure.

3rd game felt like the draft was just really awkward for Secret. It's so hard for them to kill people. They have no magic burst, only aoe lockdown was Wyvern ult, and no aoe damage almost either. So their only way to kill people is to hit with their two right clickers. But then if Empire decides they are in a bad position they just sprout+glimpse and run away and lose max 1 hero or something, and if they decide they can turn Secret is just screwed after Nyx stuns the OD and Disruptor ults him.

The Slark just ran circles around them all game.
And i just don't get the Naix Pick at all, running around in ancients might be cool in the early to midgame, but late you have a position 1 melee hero against NP, Disruptor 3x Force staff and Impetus, good luck.

You can run Naix as your carry like Chessie did today, but you have to rush Radiance and stack up auras. Plus you need to be against a weak ancient killing team, not Slark+Ench.
This game is about towers and the Throne, not kills and fancy play.

The 2nd part is the more important factor. Wings only had Ursa that could kill Ancients, but that would require using most of its DPS (Overpower) on nothing.

The way EE played Naix in terms of using ancients was imo fine. There's no way a radiance rush naix works that game, they need a person who actually hits people and kills them off quickly.

I think the main issue was just how impossible it was for their lineup to kill multiple people in a teamfight. Either they needed to have a different support duo altogether, or they needed to change at least one of their mid and carry. Imo even something like Tiny would have been fine, it would have given them much needed low cd stuns and magic burst, which they completely lacked. Of course Tiny is not really a signature hero for either of EE and Rtz but neither is Naix. I'm not exactly sure what Secret was expecting from Empire in the last few picks. Personally I thought Secret would go Clinkz for EE on 4th pick (3 of Empire's heroes already had no hard stuns and are pretty squishy against Clinkz burst, Clinkz is good to kill Ench and can also be used to scout for Wisp ganks). And then maybe Tiny or something for Arteezy on last pick.
