Team Secret round off 2024 roster with NDG

Team Secret Team Secret Asia-Pacific Rank #34 invy Adrian Jiggs Reyes n1zzy Nguyễn Tấn Thành ZesBeeW Sha Mohtar kellyS Kelly Sedillo Wild0reoo Brheyanne Christ Reyes have finalized their 2024 roster with the signing of Noel "NDG" De Guia, a Filipino champion formerly of NAOS NAOS Asia-Pacific Rank #9 PTC Kititkawin Rattanasukol xavi8k Xavier Juan Nakya Alehandro Fabian Simanjorang Mojer Jerome Literal Xan .

While NAOS was not NDG's first roster, it was where he got his first big break. The team struggled through several 2022 offseason qualifiers — the closest NAOS got to a main event was when they placed fourth in the Skyesports SEA Championship qualifier — before deciding on a big rebuild for 2023, which NDG survived.

With a new roster, NDG's NAOS waltzed into the VCL Philippines and dominated. While the team kicked off the first split 1-1, NAOS convincingly won the next 12 matches of the year in a row, losing just four maps. NDG's last match with NAOS was on April 14, after which he was replaced by Carl "senyorcarl" Alexander Carandang. The team went on to become back-to-back regional champions and attend Ascension.

NDG's signing to Team Secret comes a month after the team split with Jayvee "DubsteP" Paguirigan — who had been with the core since 2020 — and Lim "lenne" You Xiang Lionel. The changes followed a lackluster year from Team Secret, who placed fifth in the VCT Pacific and were runners-up to ZETA DIVISION ZETA DIVISION Japan Rank #4 TenTen Kim Tae-young (김태영) SugarZ3ro Shota Watanabe CLZ Hikaru Mizutani Xdll Yuto Mizomori in the Pacific LCQ.

Team Secret Team Secret Asia-Pacific Rank #34 invy Adrian Jiggs Reyes n1zzy Nguyễn Tấn Thành ZesBeeW Sha Mohtar kellyS Kelly Sedillo Wild0reoo Brheyanne Christ Reyes are now:

Jessie "JessieVash" Cuyco
Adrian "invy" Jiggs Reyes
Jim "BORKUM" Timbreza
Jeremy "Jremy" Cabrera
Noel "NDG" De Guia
Evan "Warbirds" Olzem (Coach)

I think he will surprise a lot next year.. During his last few games at NAOS he actually played well and was one of the highest rated players at PH challengers..

yeah both invy and NDG looks super strong and consistent that they might actually qualify next year, the two of them will probably carry the team but time will tell 👀👀

Let’s see. They were pretty close this year I’d say. They definitely have a chance next year if their firepower is better now. But some teams are also cooking. Pacific looking strong next year 🤩

another cracked young up and coming talent, so far secret's younger players have had great first years so i personally have high expectations for NDG

tbh hes not like the game changing player like something did to PRX but with a good upside TS can give themselves a good shot for playoffs in Pacific but it might take them more to shock a lot given the acquisitions of other teams but I still believe. In Team Secret we trust

Sharp aim, but zero IQ. I remember watching NAOS matches and when they play Bind, he repeats his position over and over again every round. He’s so readable. He just hides behind the box in hookah with a judge. Worked one time, but that’s it. Played and died in the same spot the rest of the match. And he did that throughout several matches. Literally zero IQ. Zero creativity.
Every map that he plays, he just chooses one spot to play the whole match.

Whatchu mean fix. T1 isn't an academy tournament. All teams must try to win it every single time. They had the chance to put the best of the best to rep PH and this is what they settled with.

Why was he replaced on Naos?

Because he was the weakest link. Same reason why he was replaced on Nacague, his former team before NAOS. TS management is weird for taking him.

bruh if you don't know the full story it's better to shut the fuck. He had to finish school because he was graduating that's why he had to leave. Why you gotta be mad at him for no reason, it's not like he did something bad to you -_-

He was either performing great or poor. He's not bad but DubsteP was really inconsistent.

im surprised they get ndg and he is supposed to play scan ini/ sentinel instead of putting him in on smokes for borkum and also getting mojer for sentinel, roles make more sense that way imo

ngl this ndg pick is alr

the question is what role will he be filling up? jremy can fill duelist and i doubt vash will move to sen role.

ndg will most likely be the senti and flex around smokes as well if they're going for double controller comps. There's a high chance jessie will play the senti role since we've seen him play it on certain maps(split, pearl) and jessie's a one-trick sova anyway so the initiator will go to invy(esp flashes). The real question here is if they ever go for a double duelist comp, who will play the jett assuming jremy will play raze since its his main?

#44

jremy will be their full time duelist meaning he will be playing jett, he also spams jett on his rank games
