S4 and Kuroky out of Team Secret with EternalEnvy part of new roster

posted by Malystryx.GDS,
We knew changes were coming to Team Secret following the departure of ca Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev and the withdrawal of se Ludwig 'zai' Wåhlberg from the active roster. However, now with only one player left from the original roster, it is quite the overhaul. ca Jacky 'EternaLEnVy' Mao joins Team Secret after his 18 month career at Cloud9 came to an end, bringing with him dk Rasmus 'rASmus' Fillipsen, but no dk Johan 'BigDaddyN0tail' Sundstein. Find out the full Secret roster inside.

Time to move on for S4 and KuroKy
With only ee Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov left in the active roster of the Team Secret that competed at TI5, it is definitely the end of an era. se Gustav 's4' Magnusson, who at times looked ill at ease with all the Team Secret swagger, is now a free agent and a return to Alliance could well be possible. Meanwhile Kuroky, who was subject to a lot of grief recently after Arteezy voiced his concerns about his performance at TI5, is rumoured to be in the process of finalising a new team with de Adrian 'Fata' Trinks.

EternalEnvy leaves Bone7 for Misery and PieLieDie
There was talk that EternalEnvy and Puppey were teaming up, but who would be their team-mates was the subject of much debate. Considering EternalEnvy's friendship with Bone7, and their extensive time together on Cloud9, probably the biggest surprise is that they have decided to split, with EternalEnvy instead bringing Misery over with him to Team Secret.

"Misery is a natural talent to the game," said EternalEnvy on his Ask.fm several days ago. "He can't explain very well what he truly knows about the game but he has good game understanding but not next level. However he has a massive weakness in that he doesn't empower his teammates to play better. He's recently understood this though, I trust him."

What is even more surprising is that EternalEnvy and Pieliedie are reunited, especially considering PieLieDie was kicked along with AUi_2000 from Cloud9 last year to make way for Misery and BigDaddyNoTail. PieLieDie was known at the time for being a very solid and consistent player, and after a short stint in Team Tinker which became Mousesports, was a free agent following the end of Mouz.

Former MeePwnd and BBC's W33haa gets huge opportunity
For ro Omar 'w33haa' Aliwi this will be a huge step up, with Team Secret being the largest organisation he has joined to date. The Romanian, known for his Meepo, Slark and Timbersaw, had flashes of individual brilliance during the joinDOTA MLG Pro League Season 2 LAN finals for BBC, but failed to gel with his team-mates. If Team Secret can harness his ability like Evil Geniuses did with SumaiL, this could be his year.
