I just realized how TS's selection process raises concerns of nepotism, with the team manager being Jessievash's wife, and Jessievash related to Jremy, and the boomers appear to be long time best friends in the previous games that they played. I did a little research and I realized that fans have been seeking better representation of Filipino talent since their Bren Esports days in Challengers 2021 splits.
I also noticed that Invy, the newest recruit, seems to be performing relatively better than the rest of the team. This raises questions about how talent is being evaluated and chosen for the roster. As someone who wants to see the PH represented at the highest level in Valorant, it's concerning to see that Team Secret's performance has been underwhelming in international competitions, especially when other teams have successfully integrated Filipino players.
I hope that TS hopefully will consider evaluating talent objectively and prioritize representing the best players from PH instead to achieve better results in future tournaments. Open discussions and transparency can lead to positive changes for the team and the region's Valorant scene. Just my two cents fellow lil bros. All love.
