Well, Secret allowed them to get three teams in the first six. Hope our American boys don't do the same. Fuck Secret though, why did play so bad today?



They are not very good compared to Ehome as the games obviously showed

Come on you are a big boy you can analyze this much at least

Let's forget 3 months of dota following a bo3.


Secret may still not have fully improved their ability to overcome losses. It's a team chemistry thing. They have respect for each other but when adversity strikes the cracks in their team chemistry affects their performance. They are like a bunch of skilled friends that are chill with each other but not the best of friends. This is similar to DK with key differences such as Secret are probably closer as friends but DK lived together for a year so the bond is different.

The other route is to go the EG route which is straight professional and have a strong structural hierachy. I think EG is the strongest team when it comes to bouncing back from defeat.

I think you need to rethink that last analogy. It's very clear from this tournament that Europe lags far behind NA.

Americans are so cute.

Well, if they keep s4 drafting, i don't think they'll change a lot. It's his weakness in drafts, he's kinda stubborn in picking things out of the comfort zone. Puppey is more likely to get non-conventional picks but the team kinda sucked when he was the drafter, so i think that they're kinda fucked, they were unlucky that TI5 came now, they played too many tournaments and opponents had enough time to understand them.

Don't think that holds too true, Puppey was just as stubborn in DAC

I'm going to do it but thought I'd stick around for a few minutes to not look as though I disappear when Western teams lose.

you need to learn how to take an L

He needs to ask Tige... pardon me, Tyga.

yeah definitely take the tyga route of persevering through a long string of losses
the alternative is the meek route where you keep trying to fight when everyone knows you're already out of the fight

If they don't win this TI, they are disbanding.

I'm pretty sure if they win this TI they are also disbanding


We should make bets on which teams wont disband. My guess is EHOME and CDEC.

It shows so much what rOtk said that they studied Secret.

If this isn't a wake up call for Secret to bring their A game and change their drafts, then they will go out soon. I dont see them losing to iG (tho its a possibility with the type of game they did today) but if they keep like this, then gg for them.

They have to learn to adapt, not repeat another DAC.

But that's what you do every time anyways, what there is to talk about.


No I don't. I didn't when any Western team lost this tournament.


relax, it doesn't secure china 2/3


Hope so. In any case, I have to eat, and I'm not too into the next games. See you guys later.

3 games secret lost in the group stage were with s4 mid getting shitstomped by opponents mid laner who went on to have over 15 kills in all 3 games. Bad call putting him mid in an important match, best he can do is play qop safe lane and hit a couple of ulties.

Also true, S4 got massively outclassed by Cty, not only that, his sf play in general looked really bad.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

I don't even fuck with Chinese teams because 90% of their players "retire" for 2 months

Nah. RTZ and Zai will take off and they will pick up some of the many free agents.

Okay, after a tough loss as an Secret fan, i guess i have to come up with an excuse.

Secret lost because they didn't want to face EG so early. They are also counting on only facing LGD before Grand Finals. Easier ride to the final and to the bigger bucks!

Hopefully the bigger orgs learn their lesson and actually take a gamble on new talent. VG and IG specifically.

That Azarkon guy just makes shit up. There's nothing wrong with having a personal bias but I hope for his sake that he is just trolling for fun.
