i love puppey so i hope this happens despite how unlikely


I'm a Puppey and Secret fan wanting that but right now i find that unlikely. He need to find a team where there is stability and no drama, but it will be hard.

The past 2 years have been awful. From bad to worse.


Puppey could coach and Aui could play instead of the other way around. But I don't have much faith that the current form of Secret will survive after that last place finish.

There are dominant heroes, but there isn't a dominant playstyle

At least that's what I think they mean

I think the model to follow is 1-2 veterans + 3-4 new/young talents when building teams

i think what they mean is like
TI5 there was a very clear meta, with a clear top 3-5 heroes in each role
TI6 there's a few top heroes (mirana et sd void) but the amount of heroes that are viable and picked on a semi-regular basis is way higher
Heaven's Halberd is the most criminally underbought item in Dota. Together we can stop this.

The only worry i have about that idea is who will be Captain. Also someone will leave for sure, i will be surprised if they stay together.

honestly i feel like the issue with puppey these past 2 years and this tournament especially has been that he's too set on uniting the team under his personal vision instead of adapting their picks/play style to a unifying vision that all 5 of them can get behind

Interesting that Wings didn't ban the SD. Maybe like the weak support combo naga + SD if that is how they read it.
