Whoever doubts Secret doesn't follow Dota and the 20ish matches they've played so far.

Small sample sizes from online games against mostly trash teams and bo1s against decent teams? Sorry if that isn't enough to convince me.


How can they be overhyped? They've got insane results so far. Of course they're hyped. Hype is very different from actually being good. For exemple GSL finals are always hyped but they always sux.

I just think an analyst desk should be for actual analysis surely, don't see what Pyrion brings.

I don't really consider what they've done so far to be that impressive yet a lot seem to think they're one of the top teams/favorites against teams like c9, eg, vici etc that have actually posted impressive results. That's overhype to me.

Edit: Basically I don't think they've done anything yet to deserve the massive praise they get, which is overhype.
