It only took a significant rebuild and some time in Division II, but Puppey and Team Secret finally look like they are rounding into competitive form after locking down a spot in the big leagues for the Dota Pro Circuit’s Summer Tour with a near undefeated run.
Despite finishing as runner-ups at The International 11 last October, Secret’s roster lost a major piece when Nisha moved over to Team Liquid during the offseason. That change seemed to throw the entire lineup off-kilter as they went 3-12 during the opening tour of the 2023 DPC season. That performance saw them relegated down to Division II and prompted Puppey and Secret’s management to head back to the drawing board.
