I would agree tho that them being without organization behind them and wining TI shakes current situation that every proffesional player needs to be sponsored to make something big | ||

theres alot of casual actually interested in following the dota scene.problem is they dont know how,the nature of teams & the scene in general making it hard.i think teams like secret are easy to support.good western teams with good players,good personality,playing beautiful dota & actually winning. | ||

Before and during their run togther , if they wouldnt start winning when they did they wouldve been in big trouble as not getting money and just spending it is VERY stressful thing for such young guys and it would hurt their chances to make it @ TI , but they did win and smashed everything in their way , so that roadblock is gone  no money pressure! | ||

Secret are like the tsm of dota right now big part of that big fanbase will disperse in seconds if they don't win TI, they're called bandwagoners "casual-viewer friendly" - what does that even mean in context of Dota? no clue on who TSM is | ||

I think this type of context are easier if you know about tsm.its basically the most popular western team in league.also easily the most popular team in that scene in general.while the players are not that popular outside league,but the team itself are huge .They started from nothing in league to ended having players in every game & getting huge sponsors. I followed league a little bit around before to early LCS days.Secret kinda have that tsm vibe to me.even in league reddit i saw some people talk about tsm acquiring secret | ||

Without knowing the context, your first post sounded to me like full of bias and Secret being the second coming of Christ for Dota. Seeing that it's not the case, let us move on. | ||
