Disclaimer: All stats are sourced from VLR.gg, and any rating mentioned refers to VLR Rating 2.0. It's important to note that events held in China were not fully tracked by VLR, leading to missing statistics.

Invy: Pacific’s Hidden Gem
Pacific Number: 6
Global Number: N/A
Average Rating: 1.15
Age: 20
Nationality: Filipino
In his second year with Team Secret, Invy has solidified himself as a standout performer in the Pacific region. Despite flying under the radar for those unfamiliar with the Pacific scene, the Filipino flex player has proven to be a crucial asset for his team throughout the 2024 season.
Team Secret kicked off the year with a modest 5th-place finish in Pacific Kickoff, a position reminiscent of their previous season. However, Invy’s individual performance was anything but average. He delivered a stellar showing, posting a 1.20 rating—the second highest of the event—demonstrating his ability to shine even when his team struggled to break into the upper echelons.
The story was similar in Pacific Stage 1. Team Secret once again found themselves in a familiar mid-tier position, finishing 5th-6th after making it out of the group stage. Yet, Invy’s consistency was undeniable, as he secured a spot in the top 10 ratings for the event, further cementing his reputation as a rising star in the region.
Despite missing out on a second Masters appearance this year, Invy continued to elevate his game. He wrapped up Stage 2 with a solid 1.15 rating, maintaining his high level of play. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to propel Team Secret beyond another early playoff exit, with the team once again finishing 5th-6th.
Though Team Secret may have missed out on international events this year, Invy’s exceptional performances earned him a well-deserved spot as the 6th best player in the Pacific 10, proving that individual brilliance can still shine, even in the absence of team success.
