Well they are at least paying out some money, some of the older debts may have been paid (or so I hope). I assumed that given that EE of all people was keeping quiet back then that at least his team was getting their money as intended but apparently not lol.
Aside from the organizational issues some of the stories from even the majors sound pretty crazy. Puppey not playing a lot of pubs and such was pretty known but his priorities even at the majors seem pretty unbelievable with millions on the line.

Was wondering the same... but i'm kinda tilted because i remember RTZ only having good words for Puppey after he left Secret for the first time, i remember he said he was the best player he had ever played with, always working hard for the team, ecc. ecc.... i'm very confused.
And btw, it's impressive the results he achieved with so little work if it's true what Envy said :o

took long enough but they finally got exposed. hope both kemal and puppey are done for good.

Feels good that puppeys true character is finally shown. My boy kuro was right all the time, i knew it.

Scamcret strikes again. And Puppey somehow manages to look worse than Kuro.

Maybe he made some mistakes, but everyone does that. Even rtz seems to be cool with kuro again. And the puppey chat where he was raging about kuro to theeban should have no meaning, now that we know puppey is a ass for sure. Also kuro never flamed anyone, even after the secret drama. Kuro is just a good guy;)

What worse is, it's not even about whether rtz is 'left' and kuroky is 'right' or vice versa, it's all about puppey all along.

IMO it's because of the Panda TV deal getting bigger if Secret gets RTZ + Universe (according to Envy's post).

Well i guess secret will have no fans after this. I feel really bad for MP, Forev and Midone, since they just joined the team.

honestly...I'm without wArds.

Well I'll support Puppey after this for sure. Kinda explains why he was such a strong leader in CIS, so his confidence, outbursts, controlling people by just hammering them probably worked really well.
Although the bad thing for him that during the last few patches Dota has changed completely and not putting in the hours suddenly shows way more, gives rise to hard working youngsters etc. with so many heroes working, so many strategies being viable and countering others... And you having to put in loads of practice in all of a sudden And having the Captain lead the way by not practising is really bad for others to try

It is one thing to be entertained by the leaks, but secret now finding a premium sponsor, no way. There is no way coca cola, nike or any of the big names ever sign a team with those leaks.
Secret as a brand is gone - they can try to go for some small sponsors but the big fishes got better alternatives.

my friend and i used to endearingly joke about secret's name being 'shitcret' while they were underperforming with our favourite players. i guess after that they should be getting toiletry sponsors. going to be hard washing this one out though.
i don't believe any organization is safe from drama, but i believe any team that operates on contracts does much better than a team that bases itself on reputation or persons of interest. each other team and sets of players should be checking each other for marks, defects, and other such things, and rightly so. i'm so surprised that people put up with any kind of abuse.

Wow this is all so crazy. The magnitude of all of this goes way beyond what I thought possible. If what EE is saying is true, and it seems legit, then I will never cheer for secret or puppey again.
I hope there is justice in the end for all these players that were not paid. I hope esports in general learns from this and improves. The fact that one of the biggest names out there with top level players can exist as an organization and operate like this is unfortunately proof that a large part of esports = still kind of a joke.

1. Envy just made PLD, MP, Forev and MidOne privy to Kemal's constant lying. 2. Puppey also looks guilty to a few lies and over promises. 3. Puppey is a bully
I thank Envy for going public which saves current/ future players from further scams by Secret.
I feel sorry for all of Secret's previous victims. I hope they can recoup some of what they are owed.
2 years of theft and lies by Secret should mostly be over now.

What Puppey really needs to say at this point is "we've hired a professional accountant".
