This guy is the reason why I am rooting for Secret, kuro is just an awesome person, very insightful interview as always.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

this is out on control tbh, its beyond stupid, there is like secret, then there is noone, and noone below that and there there is a few teams like VG EG Empire C9

At this point i'm still unsure wether secret will lose a game at the international, they are just too far ahead on skill

Compared to this, TI is a tournament much bigger and wider in scale. Over longer time there is more chance even the strongest teams will be somewhat tired by the later stage of the tournament. And when that happens, there may be surprises.
In other words, I think MDL is not as much of an indicator of skill distribution among teams that people may believe it is. That's why the bigger tournaments are more interesting - because they have more space for unexpected things to happen.
But sure Team Secret is a cool team, I didn't want to like them from the start, but now I've changed my mind.

Does anyone know why Puppey is still taking the captain slot if S4 is the drafter? Are they misleading us and still having Puppey as their leader? I know it doesn't matter who pushes the ban/pick button but I find it weird not to let the designated captain do it, unless you're one of those "everyone drafts and makes calls" teams.

They're saying s4 is both their drafter and in game leader from what i've seen lately, yet Puppey is on the captain's/drafter's slot. Just find it curious.

id find it pretty weird having s4 as IGL, supports mainly call the shots because they can focus on the big picture and can thus decide on things where s4 had to focus on laning.

I'm not sure that there is such a thing as a 'captain's slot', it was just sort of an unspoken norm amongst teams to use those slots for the captain. I personally think they haven't changed slots due to being used to the colours, which can make a difference on minimap in game.

S4 is the drafter and in game leader since starladder. If you watch his stream you can see how he is actually really good at it

Yeah, I know he's a great leader and his stream is amazing even for someone like me, who doesn't usually care about personal streams. Anyway, I'm glad it's working so well for them.

Kuroky is the most respectable figure in esports. Everyone should watch this interview. The way Kuroky carries himself and the things he has to say are on a different level of maturity and intelligence than 99% of the rest of the scene.

Everyone should also watch the Arteezy interview above for the entertainment value.

All the games I consciously looked at the drafter, they had s4 as captain with the little crown. You sure you're not mistaken?
Today I only remember checking during the finals in particular for the fourth game and another one earlier and s4 was captaining there for sure.

And it's not like supports can't make choices on rotations and such, but so far it has worked out well for them to let s4 make the overall game plan decisions.

They're playing very well atm, but don't get ahead of yourself, TI is quite a long time away and while tournaments prior to it can be an indicator for the strength of a team, in the grand scheme of Dota things The International is still the only thing that matters until the majors come along. I'd be very surprised if other teams weren't going to be able to step it up until then and prove themselves worthy opponents.

Well well well... How fast is going the hype train this time? Last time it went so fast that they crash at SL. Hope they can keep up this level.

Well played and congrats.

How long has Secret existed? How long has Secret had this particular roster? One month ago they had never taken 1st at a LAN and were coming off of an ignominious two series elimination from Starladder. It is just slightly under two months until TI5. We should all know by now that two months is plenty of time for fortunes to change.
