u also called bulba a good offlaner so it's kinda late for that. might as well say w/e you want now xD

Bulba is quite literally the best offlaner in the world currently.


If he lived on Mars he would be the best offlaner on that world. Back on planet earth he is very average.

No he doesn't. Puppey is drafting. EE was in the chair for ONE game today and that was while the whole team was standing behind him. As in they were drafting together. ALL other games that this Secret roster has played Puppey was the drafter.

The only time Secret had another captain than Puppey was back in Secret 2.0 when S4 was drafting.

Pretty sure EE is not making any sort of roster decisions on his own accord in a team that Puppey partly owns. Obviously he is involved but this assigning of blame on him alone for the change is questionable at best.

And as far as drafting goes, I think EE drafted against NaVi (where they were indeed all behind him) but they changed back to Puppey for the Wings series. And Puppey has drafted in previous events.

EE's hand was on the mouse both games, thus EE was drafting.

In the NaVi series he was. In the Wings series they were all in their own seats and as far as I saw Puppey had the crown.

Not that it is even that relevant, Puppey drafted earlier tournaments. If they try out a different drafter the simple explanation is that it just wasn't working in their games, rather than him somehow not getting to be captain in his own team.

They lost two, and in case we want to bring in the Western Europe, America, and Eastern Europe difference, then:

Eastern Europe: 2 teams
Western Europe: 2 teams
America: 2 teams
China: 2 teams

Eastern Europe: 1 team went through
Western Europe: 1 team went through
America: 1 team went through
China: 1 team went through

Which is as even as it gets.

But that's with the idea that a team with four Europeans is an American team, lelz.

Today will be:

Western Europe: 2 teams
America: 1 team
Southeast Asia: 2 teams
Korea: 1 team
China: 2 teams

Which is a lot less even than what we just saw.
I like this approach much better than what you did first.

Drafts is only a very smal problem with Secret. It is nearly impossible for them to have a style with their composition that is viable. Several players need to be other kinds of players in order for it to work.
