Zai looked pissed vs both VP and IG. He also played amazing.

Secret just did not seem hungry enough, and more than anything not prepared enough. I mean who would want to play Secret's draft vs VP's draft in that last game?


Secret should have picked ds and es. The rubick so early was really stupid. Anyway sad that such skilled players somehow forgot to draft in this international.

I still think that zai is secret's best player, every time I watch them it's the same.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Belarus is still a second world economy with cancerous aligarchs. It's even worse than Ukraine.

I don't see much hope for secret staying together. They will probably just disband. Zai to school, RTZ will quit and search for greener pastures, leaving puppey and kuro to try andbuild something new again. Not sure if s4 stays or not

What surprise to see all secret fanboys immediately jump to EG. Is it possible to be anymore boring?

Gotta have someone to support yo, and of the remaining teams the only western ones are EG and VP, so not much choice.

How was Zai so-so? IMO he played amazingly all TI


I agree. Zai and Arteezy were the standout players. Zai delivered every time when he was on a hero that has impact. Arteezy was number one on net worth every single game, even the losses, despite his team not playing any 4 protect 1 strategy.

Did you completely forget game 2? Rtz was fucking awful that whole game, and S4s amazing is what even kept them in the game for so long


And do you remember game 1? Rtz was the reason they actually managed to win. Add Zai to that..

game 1 they actually played at the level they are at when they dont tilt..

everyone played equally well that game

in the second game, rtz got cocky and played so embarassingly bad, it affected the whole team even the game afterwards. In g3, only kuroky and zai played really well imo. Puppey did stupid shit, s4 did stupid shit, rtz feeding again

in game 2 kky was about as disgracing as rtz. TI2 did not really work out for Secret there.

So Secret most overrated / overhyped team in TI history ?



I wouldn't call them overrated in the sense that they weren't the best team going in (they clearly were), however it was very clear that they had holes in their gameplans, and it's just that teams weren't exploiting them. It's the most stacked Western team in a long time in terms of overall skill, however it goes to show that team chemistry and cohesiveness is far more important than overall skill. We see this in EG where they have a very high level of skill, but also have absolutely excellent teamwork, and are never negative even when they lose (unlike what we saw here where RTZ clearly just blew up).



Beyond just holes it seems like they sort of came in expecting to be in charge of the meta. It seems like for a lot of the year Secret was so prevalent that what they thought was the meta was the meta. But this is TI and other teams had other ideas and they didn't seem quite able to adjust as much as other teams have been (even with some good picks and some meta stuff like picking Luna).

Also feel like this is now going to be the easiest TI of EG's life. After everything that's happened though I guess you can't really tell.

Don't feel bad for anyone on Secret.

Puppey made personnel decisions Kuro backed up. Leadership changes were made from within the team. Interpersonal issues neutered their practice time. Picks were made personal.

They didn't deserve this TI. Collectively. Dota is a team game in more ways than the simple fact of there being other people in the game on your side.

They showed they weren't ready when they started playing. No single person on the team or their performance caused this outcome.

In the end, it just wasn't a TI winning team. Or it'd have won.

they shouldn't have kicked notail
