People saying Secret could not make it were referring to potential matches against Kaipi, Polarity, Ad finem and others, don't think anyone expected random pubstacks to knock them out.

There were definitely people that did. I wouldn't say a majority or even a significant amount but there was definitely "secret gonna get knocked out by 5k cheese strats" remarks

Yeah
I hope they start being true swappable 1+2 with RTZ and Envy learns tempo controllers. RTZ is just not world class on those pucks etc.

Envy played safe lane the previous game, didn't he?

IDK, I've only been catching a few minutes of the games.

Okay I don't actually get why they didn't do this much much sooner... And none of us have suggested the obvious adjustment here.

Envy is just so much better with aggro plays and rotations, his death prophet now is insane rotating perfectly all the time, sometimes rotate top, gank+kill, rotate bottom during same exorcism and find another kill.

Give envy the task of mass spamming mid heroes, and have RTZ on farming core, Envy playmaking ones, and let them swap between mid and safelane at will, RTZ the farming oriented core, envy playmaking one.

He played safelane but I believe he has played 2 in every game this far. Arteezy has played 1. They've just swapped lanes depending on who plays what hero.

Ofc remains to be seen how things work when they face harder opposition but it sounds like a good adjustment to me. EE is pretty vocal anyway I believe so it makes sense that he plays more team oriented heroes and Arteezy farms it up. Though I don't really have confidence in EE playing every hero in the pool but when it's DK/DP it makes quite a bit of sense and should work fine.

i don't think you can base play off of an open qual. game.
envy spams DP for MMR, obviously he intends on using it for a pro-match, just as he did with naga, clinkz, and any other hero he intends on 'learning'.
he just has not done the same for any of the other meta mid heroes.

envy playmaking is not as strong as you think lol.

Ah, OK.

Yeah, Envy has said before that he thinks he's most suited to, or at least would most like to play, mid. Not too surprising if he's playing it a bunch.

Secret also had a lot of luck with the bracket. First decent team they should meet is Elements in RO 16. Nearly all the other decent teams are in the other half of the bracket.

Faceit uses some sort of a seeding system so the top teams aren't going to meet each other in the first rounds. The luck is probably significant for these last few bo1 rounds as there you may get teams that are pretty decent. But I haven't really looked at the bracket and who is on what side

I just got home.

Have you guys seen any of the Secret games? I know it's hard to tell versus their competition, but have they been looking pretty good?

I only saw their last game but I believe all games have been pretty quick. I may be mistaken but I think I heard/read that their toughest opposition this far was some 6kish stack.

Also in case you're interested they seem to be uploading some sort of highlights from every game on their youtube channel.

No they play 1 more, just waiting for the other teams to finish their game to decide who the opponent is.

Games have been roflstomps where Secret have looked to have a guaranteed win from the first minute.

As far as I can tell, they shouldn't have a real opponent until the semi-finals tomorrow when they're likely to face Team Spirit, and then I'd guess the final will be against Kaipi or Polarity.
