Sweet justice.

I feel bad for Secret, and i have to say that i am a huge fan of Puppey, but after killing his team after a major win, he really deserved it.

I think EG proved that you can let someone go after a huge win on okay terms. Nobody likes to leave a winning team, but teams have other issues and don't always get along. The community (Reddit, etc) lit the flaming torches and called PPD all kinds of names for it, but it seems now that he was aware of the seasonal roster window coming in the Majors era and gave Aui all the time in the window to find a new team.

What made a lot of people hate Secret this turn is that they waited until the last second to kick two people. It seemed like they did it deliberately, to make sure that w33/Misery wouldn't find a new team, wouldn't find anyone who would go through openers to take them, and wouldn't have to deal with those guys playing against them with a new team. Like they wanted those two guys to sit jobless or in the qualifier garbage bin through the Manila/TI lock.

It was a selfish, player-unfriendly thing to do, and I think most people figured no team would ever try that because who the hell wants to play for someone who would do that?

So yeah, feels like justice that Secret is out and DC still in the lower bracket.

I dunno boys, I felt like they had the game from the draft on. Taking this L is tough, I felt too confident.


That jugg got them pretty hard :/ I guess this whole TI was very weird for them. the plays, the drafts, bleh,


Maybe's early game Jugg play this game was just exceptional. Pushing the limits of his hero, especially:

1. Great use of runes in the first 10 mins iirc.
2. Audacious use of his early farm and level advantage.

Still feel bad for Arteezy and PLD in particular. I hope the team sticks together.

I don't see that happening to be honest, EE/RTZ just don't fit together well in terms of play styles I haven't seen the games but Bulba isn't a top offlaner these days and there's a big shuffle coming most likely if Asian teams continue their roll

So fitting that the team solely responsible for the roster mess crashes out spectacularly. They deserve it.

Also Bulba. Forever not winning anything lol

LGD game could be a good example of this, Alch and TB, the two farming. The games that Secret won one of the two was in a kill stuff hero while the other was in a farming hero.
I guess that would be one of the big motivators of change in the roster, unless one of the two decide to improve in playmaking heroes

Except the kick only happened because arteezy and Universe waited so long to give an answer

But that won't stop people with an axe to grind

Who cares what excuse Secret has, it was Secret's decision to kick them with almost no time left before the roster lock. Excuses doesnt matter

Secret will try to pick up zai, and I think they will be successful if EG will not place Top 3.
Not sure what they will do with EE, there is some kind of friendship, but in the end ppy is a business men and he always was.

The other speculation, fear really takes down his esport career and rtz goes back to eg again.

No, I get the feeling that PPD wouldn't want Artour even on a silver platter. Zai leaving is a possibility though.

I think EE+ Aui + Bone is happening at this point. From my perception, Kemal is not a big fan of Envy and his performance was pretty bad this TI, so he might get the boot. The ArtEEzy experiment has finally failed. Maybe in a different meta with more greed it might work, but not in this meta.

Envy fan since NTH.

EE + Aui + Bone has potential.
You could get Yapzor + an up and coming mid player.
