Yeah Zai randomly drafting is a huge red flag for me. Teams that constantly pass around drafting duty are not teams with a plan and confidence. Esp when you have puppy on your team...

Every time you marry a player, you fail to see what may be happening around him. RTZ may be good but after he joined Secret's draft range seems to have shrunk. It may be because of him or not, we won't know unless some inside info comes out.

Puppey and Kuro are beasts but I feel like when they are performing bad it could be due to internal issues, it happened before.

s4 is one of the most versatile players I have seen but I don't think his low level is tied only to himself, something else is going on. I think.

IMHO, kicking n0tail was the worst decision ever made by Secret, I would have looked somewhere else for an offlaner. Kuro was not the best safelane carry but he fitted the team pretty damn well, leaving mid for s4 and a support duo that was incredible strong.

Many people say #fngneverforget, I would also say #n0tailneverforget

I dont know, n0tail its great and everything, but like i said before its not like Kuro and Puppey and leagues behind n0tail

People are jumping way too fast in conclusions, this same te rolled over DAC 1st round and end up 3rd

1 tournaments that its duration its less than 1% of the year, exception to the rule

C9 got eliminated by Secret and not even finished Top4

The problem is the teams they lost to. And to me they really have drafts/hero pool problems right now. I mean, I've never been a fan of Kuro as a carry but at least he could play 3 different heroes in a bo3.

Yes, i did say a few pages that the biggest issues is how they lost and not the fact they lost (which can happen) they looked like a completely different team and all of their biggest skills werent there in this tournament

But again, i say it may be the rule or the exception ? We will have to wait

I am not saying this team can't accomplish things. I am sure they can make it work.

Also, even if Kuro + Puppey are really good, I liked them a lot in NaVi, I just find Puppy+n0tail better, I like them more.

In short, independently of how good this team can play, I preferred the former team + a new offlaner than this team.

Edit: Sry, my comment before this one seemed a bit condemning, all good, Secret can stay as they are, not like it matters to me. Just wanted to unfocus a bit the RTZ hype + flame the other 4 because I feel it is a bit unfair.

I think if secret with notail&misery<3 stayed together, they would have won every tournament and lan they entered until ti. They were on a roll and had less ego's on the roster. The breakup just shows that at prolevel "teammindset" doesnt exsist at all. Like, when it came apparent that rtz+zai were free to pick up, secret probably acted on that without any hesitation. And ofcourse you are tempted when you can get the best mid pos 1 in the world in 6.82 and an overhyped best pos3 player in the world. And now, they have so many players not playing in their natural position, that they arent even considered overrated anymore. that i think its questionable they will be strong enough team-wise before the next big lan, or they might search within themselves and set their ego's aside for the benefit of the team, but that so hard.

I do believe that yes, Kuro might not be better than rtz, but from the looks of it he is able to play a lot of heroes, which is certanly pretty good for a carry player

IF this IF that for all we know misery+n0tail could have A) end in the same way or B) win the tournament

pure theory crafting that A) doesnt help B) doesnt matter

Yet they won much more money with rtz + zai (about 2 times the money)

But whatever i was talking about this tournament, not their overall performance

Called it as soon as the trades happened that kuro/puppey support was a downgrade from bdn/puppey. You need someone that's sick at being poor as hell and still doing their job. It also helped puppey because where he's a good support is when he can be the wealthy support or jungler.

I still feel like the loss isn't that bad. If their worst prospect is that they can "only" take top 6 at TI well geez what a nice problem to have. They'll have a new, actually important meta to work with right after SL anyway.

I do miss the misery/notail iteration, but it's amazing how quick people are calling for a disband. They had a bad tournament, it happends but i dont think it's that bad for them. You learn more from losses then in victories and i think these loss can help secret work on their draft flexibility (having zai drafting is one way to work on it too but i dont think it really matters as those who want to participate in the draft are free to do so). Having 6.84 coming around the way is also going to help on that draft flexibility.

I think TI secret will be fairly different from this SL secret, this 2 bo3 must have hurted their little girly feelings

people are overreacting just because they lost 2 b03

even EG loses to voidboys in a b03 and VG loses to some random chinese team .. hell even the ultraallstar DK loses to random teams last year


i mean if this happened to empire or asus i doubt people would be "disband or they did the worst decision ever they should have never reshuffled " or "kky is the best carry he should have not switched" people are cherry picking like for example they don't seem to remember alot of games that kky throwed so so hard and just remember the good times like those PA diving on the well

They won more money with rtz+zai because they were in bigger tournaments, that's not a fair metric to use because the potential prizepools weren't equal.

edit: I don't think they should disband but the play reminded me of Tinker when they had pajkatt and sing and it was just 5 people doing whatever with no trust for each other, or before that Na'vi from the first half of 2014. If they can't sort their shit out then something needs to change.

Exactly, like they only remember the best days of RTZ and so on. Also, it is harder to look bad as a super farmed carry, unless you are Xboct.

People shouldjust chill and wait for the next patch.

It seems more like a polite conversation to me.
