No team that has players that won already is ever going to win it twice.

S4 drafting got them out of their slump and they actually won all of their recent tournaments after s4 started drafting for them. I guess when TI is all that matters the last game that got them knocked out is all that will be remembered.


S4 is the only reason Secret won anything but who cares, shitty team going to disband soon, they destroyed 3 teams to form this fail team

I think it's puppey's drafts lost them the game but whatever. Will we see iceiceice the master of jukes, or iceiceice the TI nervewreck?!

they had to first ban gyro because they have no one to play him. Secret is (was) a team with 2 mid players. That limited their drafts extremely. Oh well, pretty sure RTZ is out now. Looking forward to the reshuffle.



This is an absurd statement. Gyrocopter isn't hard to play at their level. Agressif already defies your logic that they couldn't make plays with him like a mid player is used to doing.

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


You don't know whether they'd do better with him. At the time it looked like a good decision, even though he's a very likable guy.

Not likely and I doubt the team would do well either but y'know.


Zai takes a year break.
iceiceice joins Secret.

VG is a better team than Secret. Why would ice^3 leave them?

Random question, do people ever call iceiceice "Ice Cubed"?

The no stun draft was actually ok. It was however heavily dependent on s4 getting an early orchid, and controlling the tempo. Once s4 choked, there was no recovery.

Because ice^3 = ice*ice*ice ?

Oh opps, thought you were asking why.

Assuming Secret doesn't completely disband, they'll likely cut Arteezy and Zai OR Puppey and Kuro, based on the friction we've seen and their past departures.

I like to. I don't know enough of Ice Cube's songs to make sweet jokes though.

It's the standard Chinese term for it I'm pretty sure, it's your mother's mother.

Being Taiwanese I grew up saying 阿嬤, my dad would sometimes say 祖母, and in class I learned 奶奶/外婆.
