Can't find on Dotabuff either. I found a VOD for you guys though. Really good games unless seeing Secret fall apart just a bit makes you too uncomfortable.

They're not on Dotabuff because they're in private lobbies, and not on the ticket.

Spoiler is Secret vs Cloud9 Game.
+ Show Spoiler +

Secret looked really strong against Cloud 9

, if this match against Na'vi doesn't get disrupted I expect a Secret victory. Hype!

edit: (contains Secret vs Na'vi BTS2 spoilers)
+ Show Spoiler +

Wow, this game was pretty exciting. The hype behind the two teams just added even more to the constant fighting and aggressive play by both sides. Around 30:00 game time was my favourite part, when Kuro basically walked over Xboct and I thought the fight was going to be done, but then Na'vi turned it with Xboct's aegis and some great play by Dendi using cyclone at the last second almost killing Kuro. Was a very fun game to watch.

Team Secret was knocked out of Dreamleague by 4 Anchors + Sea Captain just now.

4ASC actually 2-0'd them in an amazingly dominating fashion.

4ASC was pretty good, definitely surprised me
it was not like secret played badly imo (at least in the 2nd game), they just got outplayed hard

on another note, what do you guys think about fly?

I like Fly, would like to see him on a slightly larger hero pool but overall is a good fit.

Is it just me, or does secret seem to have a rough time securing the late game? Puppey and Bigdaddy roaming create so much space, and almost always get Team Secret ahead in the laning stage (whether Puppey is playing roaming Mirana or jungle Enigma), but it seems like almost every team narrows the gap in the mid-late game.

I'm not sure if its the draft, or the item choices that Kuro goes + Show Spoiler +

That Clinkz game against Alliance, Kuro just seemed to get too confident and it did not bode well. After that, Alliance just 5-man pushed into a win

I can't wait to see this team at Starladder X, and I know they have a really good chance to win it all.

Kuro has the habbit of playing cocky when they're ahead and that has caused them trouble in the late game, indeed. There have been several games where he absolutely refused getting bkb or other essential items that could've sealed the deal.

But I think he won't fool around at big lans such as Starladder.

Kuro has played a large number of heroes in the 1 role lately including a necrolyte which was fun to watch, not sure where you think they are 1 dimensional. I mean if teams don't draft in a way that can punish a dusa pick, its one of the hardest carries there is. They are a pro team so expect them to pick it.

They are not one dimensional... I mean come on... s4 on Ember? When did we ever see that on Alliance? And besides, Kuro seems capable of carrying on literally almost anything...
