That forces Puppey/Zai to draft around him resulting in stale and one-dimensional drafts. Of course, their loss here at Starladder can be attributed to many other factors (e.g. Zai's underperformance). I liked the Secret with Kuro on carry alot better. In that iteration, the only weak link was Fly. All they had to do was swap out Fly out for a top tier offlaner and Secret would be a championship contender. To be fair, top tier offlaners are probably the hardest position in pro dota to come by. | ||

Kuro was not the best carry. Anyway Arteezy was by far their best player this tourney. S4 and Zai have looked awful. I used to think S4 was the man, but in the DAC playoff and now this tourney he's looked real shaky. Dying in lane, dying out of position, dying without having any impact. I will not say, kuro was the best when he returned to being carry, but man check those games, he was hardly super farmed when he lost to the lycan, let's be objective here... shall we | ||

Not that refusing to ban Sniper was their main issue. S4 and Zai playing blah really was but really fuck Sniper. Tired of seeing that hero. In any game. | ||

i mean most pro's think rtz is really good i think you're the only one who doesn't. The old would have never gotten this kind of level of dominance where they only lose 5 b03 all time. Also DAC would have never happened for sure the old is waaayyy too inconsistent compared to the new one. | ||

Seriously though, I hope they can bounce back and find their form again. With the amount of talent and experience they all have, I'm sure we'll see a lot of good games from them in the future. If any of you Secret boys read this thread, I want you to know that you have fans who will support you no matter what  | ||

Let's put it clearly, yeah maybe Puppey once was a great captain, but frankly, I dont see anything close to a small evidence thet he still deserves this title with secret. How many time did RTZ played SF in the last monthes? I feel like each time I watch a Secret game he is playing SF (yeah, sometimes Lycan). | ||

They just had zero follow-up in any of them when other teams learned, and relied on skill and execution to win against the lesser teams. | ||

If the team itself doesn't have confidence in Puppey drafting, to the extent that they'll let someone else take the reigns at a LAN tournament, that says quite a bit. I mean, when Zai was on EG, he certainly wasn't fighting ppd for draft control. | ||
