The current roster looks promising. There's also less ethics concerns now that Kemal is out, but Fata- not playing this week makes me wonder how much he affected their play in the weeks before. Sure, they won, but they weren't necessarily challenged yet. How did Fata-s play look in the offlane to the smarter people here?

They literally rekt EU bar Liquid with a standin, so I'd say they are looking very good, Ace especially exceeded all expectations.

Team Secret is back!!
3/3 qualifiers: and they are playing really well.

Chen/enchantress player?
Meepo player?
Earth spirit player?
Proven captain?
Invoker player?
Lots of boxes are ticked. Puppey has a lineup that is almost a drafter's dream. Their cores are very flexible, and secret appear to be able to run any kind of lineup. I'm certain ace can play naga if need be, and midone's good enough to play tempo mid as well. Only issue is maybe fata with a farming offlane like prophet which I'm not convinced yet. Looking forward to them performing. Definitely a step up from khezzy/mp

Their versatility is insane. Can't wait to see them in offline tournament

As long as PPY doesn't play like a 4k mmr player; and don't pull another "10 games earth spirit", yeah they have a solid line-up for this season.

Yesterday I watched a pair of Immortal games, with MP playing on his normal 4-6th position net worth.
He is for sure a great player, but i prefer a standard position One player like Ace that is able to be at the top of the net worth in the majority of games

Secret have surprised me tbh. Their versatility was refreshing. MidOne MK offlane, FATA mid, Ace meepo.
Curious to see how well they will be among other T1 teams

Secret just withdrew from Dota Pit

I think that is a good decision. Playing 5 lans in a row without pause is unhealthy.

The patch, seems unlikely, they all have huge heropools(kind of hope Beastmaster comes back, Fata's roaming Shadowblade Beastmaster back in the day was so awesome). Their honeymoon phase is over and they fall apart, hope that doesn't happen.

Not sure why Secret didn't ban Earth Spirit and Pugna in deciding game VS Navi...

Here's to hoping the boys will perform today. They might have some new drafts special for EG.

If they play like during the qualifiers, it should be ok for them. They also have a lot of pocket/cheese strat that they can play for a BO1 groupstage (meepo, huskar, enchant, brood ...)
