SECRET: Org Overview

This is the org overview for TEAM SECRET there is no overview for a secret organization I have 0 connections to the illuminati or any other government agencies

ORG HISTORY
-Team Secret is a European esports organization that was founded in 2014 and built around a star-studded Dota 2 team that made it to the finals of TI this past year
-In addition to Dota 2, they host a female CSGO team, an R6 roster, LoL and Wild Rift teams, a PUBGM roster, a Rocket League squad, and a VALORANT team based in the philippines. They also host many brand ambassadors, which are content creators to some extent
-Currently they are partnered with NVIDIA, Corsair, Secret Lab, and many other large gaming brands

ROSTER HISTORY

2021
-Team Secret signed the former Bren Esports squad after the end of Stage 3 in 2021. Bren had qualified for Masters Berlin but the organization was not able to obtain the proper visas to travel before to the event
~~-Due to dissatisfaction from the players, the roster left Bren and was picked up by Team Secret.~~ (Bren, Riot, and other authorities did everything they could to attend Masters 3 but could not make it work, and the org and team left on amicable terms. This edit was pointed out by KssS in comment 9). Since Paper Rex had a low placement at Masters Berlin, Secret were automatically qualified for Champions. The roster attending would consist of:

-JessieVash
-Witz
-DubsteP
-dispenser
-BORKUM

-Secret’s run at Champions would start with them taking a map off of the reigning champions Gambit, before becoming the second team to be 13-0’d on the international stage and later losing the series in map 3.
-Despite being in the lower bracket early, they would send home Crazy Raccoon and Team Vikings to qualify for playoffs. There they would lose 0-2 to the eventual winners, Acend.

2022
-Secret retained their entire roster going into Challengers 1 and received a bye into the group stage. However, Jremy would be added as a 6th man.
-The team would start off 0-3, before bouncing back to end the stage 3-3 and qualify for PH playoffs
-Unfortunately the team would bomb out of playoffs with back to back losses, falling short of challengers finals. Due to their low placement, they would have to play through the open bracket again
-In stage 2 the team tore through the open qualifier and went 6-1 in the group stage, easily qualifying for playoffs
-In playoffs they won the grand final and secured the #1 PH seed for the APAC Challengers Finals, which determines who would attend Masters Copenhagen
-Team Secret would make it all the way to the upper finals before losing to Paper Rex and Xerxia, who would both go on to Masters Copenhagen. However, TS would qualify for LCQ due to their high and consistent placings
-The team would beat Made in Thailand in their opener before losing to Bleed, and later being sent home by ONIC G to end their VCT season.

2023 AND ROSTER MOVE
-Team Secret have retained most of their roster but have made some small changes, benching Dispenser and releasing witz. Lenne from Bleed and invy from Oasis were brought in as replacements.
-Warbirds, the former coach of several NA rosters, was also brought in to round out the staff. Assuming no further changes are made, Team Secret in 2023 will be:

-Lenne
-invy
-DubsteP
-JessieVash
-BORKUM
-Jremy

i think the players they kept, especially dubstep, are still really good and I think invy and lenne can be really good for them, also I think here we can maybe finally see Jremy start and get to shine more. I still think it would have been better for them to have gone for a more aggressive rebuild because it feels like we may have seen this core's peak already. But i like the players they picked and the ones they kept and idk why I kind of feel like they can surprise some people

Hmm, I'm the complete opposite. I find it annoying that they decided to resign a bunch of washed up players instead of signing new talent from orgs like SBE/NAOS/Oasis when they had the chance. They're new signings are alright but they should've just done a complete rebuild like Zeta did in 2021 in my opinion, but instead they resigned the boomers till 2026 lmfao. This roster along with DNG also might have the worst firepower in the entire Pacific league too, so I'm not real excited to watch them play

Honestly I agree as well, but I still don't hate this as much as the signings that they did make are good and I still think the three old players can still be valuable. I think Dubstep is still really good so I just wanna see what they can do. But honestly, I do think that they should have rebuilt harder with guys like JA and some of the other Filipino prospects cause there has been a lot of good players coming from ph but they just haven't been able to form a good team yet

this is not true. they left because their contracts expired and TS made them a better offer. Also, Jessievash's wife is the country manager for TS in the Philippines so it was a no brainer for them to sign.

it seems strange that the teams contracts would expire right after the end of stage 3, and from the wording of this this facebook post it seems like the players were the ones that initiated the split, specifically when it says

As of the moment, the team has decided to explore and review other possible opportunities, a decision that we respect and wish them all the best in their competitive careers.

I recall hearing that Bren's own management failed to obtain the visas on time which is why the players were dissatisfied, but I don't have a source on this. If you have any sources or proof that the contracts expired, I'd be more than happy to update it accordingly

"To clear things up, rest assured that RIOT, BREN and the PH authorities did everything they can to help us. It's just the timing from Philippines having ECQ. No one is to blame but ourselves. Let us now move on and learn from this. Looking forward for what's next! " -dubstep

whats wrong with contracts ending right after stage 3? if a team didn't have enough circuit points to enter champions their season would've ended then
