The biggest problem with the secret team right now is that the support duo isnt pulling their weight if they dont get lion/doom.

Puppeys core heroes like enigma and enchantress and chen are simply NOT in the meta right now, and they cant play the more meta heroes like phoenix and wisp to the same level that newbee/OG could, or rather puppey cant play the hero at all, and it is really limiting their strategy A LOT.

The biggest problem with the team right now is that their support duo hero pool is limited as hell, and universe is a player that can make plays if you give him the neccessary farm, but with 2 massive farm eaters like EE and RTZ, its really really tough, and given PLD and puppey tendencies to want to farm too, you leave 5 greedy as fuck players.

They need to put EE on more space creating cores like weaver/clinkz/sladar/qop, and just let RTZ and universe do what he does best instead of them trying to make space for fEEd.


I don't understand why people need to singel out one or two players as the definitive reason behind Secrets spectacular failures. The only thing they are managing to do together as a team is fail.

RTZ and Universe have both been incredibly mediocre, and you really can't blame "but they get no farm!". Their mechanics have sub par. Universe is missing with his abilities in crucial spots and that's not down to farm.

Conversly Bulba has played almost to Universe old standard in EG so I guess communication and leadership is also a big part of the problem. That would be Puppys fault.

The support duo seems limited by hero pool, as you say, and, like RTZ and Universe, they are not playing particularly well either.

The only one really showing up in their games, and i never thought I would defend this man since I really dislike him, is EE. He's been the only bright light in their games. Other then that it's 4 players playing badly and, I imagin based on how they play atm, communicating even worse.

This is still a team with some very talented players so if it at some point clicks for them and they actually manage to play as a team they might still become good but atm they don't look like a t1 team at all.

No it was his 40 years old doppelganger in the crowd and the cameraman took a long shot of him.

according to liquipedia secret and nodiggity both won 2 games.... retroactively complaining about invites vs wildcard is hilariously dumb.

Not every tournament organizer is gonna run a massive qualifier w/ the "big" teams. They do not fetishize competitive integrity as much as you guys do lmao. Only valve majors/ti should be held to that standard imo.
DiG won a match, while Secret continued to win nothing.

Not sure if it is retroactively, since direct invites, is continuously being questioned. Essentially you try to say that not every tournament is gonna cut "Big" teams from direct invites, because they don't care about competitive integrity, in an competitive environment, and decide to call the narrative opposing it stupid, and shouldn't complain. You are a genius.


uh invites were handed out a long time ago. pretty dumb to complain about it half way through the tournament lmao. it may be surprising to you but competitive integrity is not the top priority of tournament organizers. they care cause no one wants to play or watch a sham tournament, but it's not why tournaments are held in the first place.
People complain about it since they are made. Proof of them being right, just gives leverage to their argument.

Again, you are saying preserving competitive integrity in an competitive environment shouldn't be argued for, because.. you know, you feel tournaments don't care as much, thus people shouldn't complain. I am sure tournaments have their reasons for catering to undeserving teams, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't complain about it, yes/no? How will there be changes if no one complains about things that are universally wrong and against the very spirit of eSport.


what proof btw? people can complain all they want. I just think it's naive and hilarious.

They have issues with the hardware's firmware. They can't fix it without new firmware or new hardware (too late).
