The hype is too high imo, chances are secret isnt that great as they were with bdn and misery.

I mean talent wise this is probably the best they've ever been (Zai's only a little below bdn and I'd take rtz over misery any day in terms of talent). But yeah I kinda agree I don't think the chemistry will be there due to all the role swaps.

In terms of raw player skill they match up evenly with pretty much any team though.

whats this "BDN IS GOD BDN IS LOVE BDN IS PERFECT" circle jerk? he made both good and bad plays on secret, definitely more of the former. he wasnt flawless and kuro on support will not be far worse for secret if at all.

He was always consistent and made secret win a lot of games. Letting go someone that good, who really fits the team is always a downgrade. I just hope they make the better of it

not saying BDN is bad but him getting kicked is probably not a downgrade

like for example Arteezy leaving EG or s4 leaving alliance

What happened is that the expectations after the shuffle are even higher for secret then that they were before. Secret had a hard time reaching a playinglevel with their former lineup that could actually win a finalseries. I think the expectations are so high now, almost unreachable and could well turn into toxicity if the tournamentwins take as long as they did with the former roster. I dont see secret's new line up get an early EG-streak going, which is good enough to keep all the fans aboard the secret-trainride.

Everyone "makes good and bad plays," what a pointless statement.

He was a huge playmaker on the team, to the extent that teams would lay down at least 1-2 respect bans targeted at him specifically pretty much every game. And if they didn't they regretted it.

I liked him as a player and respected his skill before he joined Secret but watching him play on that team...he was a monster. I can say without reservation that he was the reason they won a lot of games.

i mean when ur hero's unpatched ET
its not hard to demand respect bans and/or win ur team games

yeah his disruptor and wisp were also legit and took some bans but he wasn't unique in that either.

This isn't me shitting on Notail but he's not cleary the best support in europe or anything imo.

I'd say s4 leaving [A] is a downgrade, and the effects of Arteezy leaving EG has yet to be seen. We'll just have to wait to see how the role swaps effect Secret. The level of talent hasn't been downgraded, it's just been switched between roles.

Opponents spent 3x as many bans against his Io as his ET. And if you banned both he would fuck you up with ES.

There is no way Arteezy leaving EG isn't a downgrade at the mid position. I don't ride his nuts like a lot of his fans but he is still one of the best mids in the world and has accumulated a lot of experience. They're replacing him with a player who is very promising and I will pull for but is inexperienced and still in school. Could be the best in the world some day maybe, who knows, but right now he is not as good as Artour.

All of the best players never make bad plays, that's what the internet told me.

Why have i not seen this praises of BDN during his time before Secret ? iirc the only time he was praised was because of his wisp before

i agree with Sno_Man here BDN is good but definitely isn't the best support in europe. Also s4 autowins games for Secret like he did with alliance a lot of times. You can see most of that when he plays brew.

I do agree notail is fucking perfect mate. (ok my pun is lame)

He was always very skilled - how many supports are pro Meepo players? - but on Fnatic his playmaking ability didn't get the same kind of results. On Secret he was a force-of-nature 4 on a team that looked like one of the best in the world and won many games on his back. It's the inverse of how Dendi has now "slipped" and "just isn't as good as he used to be" when the reality is his ability to play shines far less on a bad team.

N0tail is an impactful player hes aggressive he was good in fnatic he raised the bar in Secret because he had more options there to execute with the people around him.
Hes style suited Secret very good he is probably top3 on support role in the western scene.

Letting go of someone who always absorbed 1-2 bans will always have a negative impact on the team. Secret knew how to capitalize on this and that has given them an amazing edge in the competition.

Technically speaking, RTZ + Zai are amazing players as replacement, but the trade off for BDN's unique role is breaking even at best.

Pretty interesting how a guy who dies an absurd 5 1/2 times a game versus mostly weak competition and has tons of games where he makes little impact can get such a cult following for making some big plays every so often. Guess stability is not a valued aspect of supporting for fans.

Really hard to say whether new secret will do better or worse than last but I'm excited to see how puppey drafts this.
