THE INTERNATIONAL 2018 TEAM INTRODUCTIONS – TEAM SECRET

Team Secret is a Turkey based Esports organization, formed in 2014. They compete in various games like CS:GO and Street Fighter, but they are mainly known for their Dota 2 Team.

Team Secret’s Current Dota 2 Roster:

1. Ace
2. MidOne
3. Fata
4. YapzOr
5. Puppey

Team Secret went through a lot of roster changes through the years but after Fata and Ace were confirmed in September 2017, their current roster has stuck together.

Team Secret had a bumpy ride this season. They got 4-8^th place in most of the tournaments they played in. The only DPC Major they won was back in December 2017 at DreamLeague Season 8. Recently, they seemed fairly strong in the group stages of the China Supermajor. But they ended up getting eliminated by Team Liquid in the upper bracket and VP in the lower bracket, getting a 4^th place finish.

About The Squad:

Puppey the Captain, is one of the most popular players in the Dota 2 scene. Many consider him to be one of the best drafters and a master strategist. He is also one of the only 4 players that has competed in all the TIs.

Unlike other teams, Team Secret has not one, but two star players in Ace and MidOne. Both of them have a huge hero pool and they are known for having high impact even after getting a bad start.

Yapz0r is one of the most, if not the most aggressive position 4 players in the scene right now, alongside fy and Jerax. He has a very greedy playstyle and is notorious for stealing kills from his cores to the point that he even outfarms enemy cores sometimes. He is also known to be one of the best Rubick players around.

Their position 3 player Fata, was considered one of the best solo mid players in Europe but he shifted to the offlane for Team Secret. Although it was very rough for him when he started out, currently he is a very strong offlaner and manages to find farm in the roughest of games.

Will they win the TI this year?

Not many people are betting on Team Secret to win TI this time around. Other teams like VP and LGD just seem way too strong compared to them. But if there is any team that can bring an upset, its definitely Team Secret. They have a star-studded roster and a master strategist in Puppey, who I’m sure has a lot up his sleeve, saved for TI.
