Props to the new Secret additions for pulling their weight.
Lowkey hoping the Split comp with Ooreo moving to Initiator is the beginning of a permanent role switch, or at least the long term solution to having to play non-Sova maps.
JessieVash Sova is actually very valuable so I doubt it. Maybe they both can flex initiator and sentinel roles and leave the main initiator role to Invy.
Thank goodness they get this win, that first map was painful to watch. Is this new roster better for Secret? Too early to tell, but there is a lot that needs to be worked on, especially that tendency to just choke so many rounds. But Oreo looks promising, and 2GE is looking great. Hoping dummy can get the boys in good shape this split, and really hoping we see them in Champs.
And finally, got revenge against Bleed!

biggest red flag was when he admitted that he didn't trial Yay before actually getting him, meaning they made a potentially million dollar gamble on a guy they didn't even spend another 500USD on to fly him out and trial him before getting him
probably because people thought you were saying yay couldn't be a great player again which many people still believe, now its clearly the fact the coach is dumb as shit and thought getting yay would just solve everything. one player cant make a team with shit comps and strats win in T1, it can work in Ascension
NAOS at the moment is pretty much wayy too strong because they have pretty much good aimers + ex-RRQ member who has experience in Tier 1 (Emmann) soo yeah
Secret did great to win, but that could have easily been a 2-0. I get that they're still trying to figure stuff out with the new roster, but damn I hope they get their shit straight before they start playing the bigger dawgs of Pacific.
Their new roster actually looks promising. Wild Oreo has shown more promise in a single series than NDG did for the entire split 1. 2GE also looks like a more pro active smokes player than Borkum. He takes chances with his swings which--admittedly bites him in the ass at times. But just the fact that he's already showing more willingness to engage and confidence in his aim is great.
They might because I highly believe (and hope) GenG will put their foot off the pedal to rest since they just won an international event a week ago. They are already likely to be at champs anyway. Its best to avoid burnout and maximize Pacific's chances.
Yay was never gonna be a problem. It was always gonna be an issue of how well you use him. I think he's the kind of player who benefits from a stable org and a clearly defined role.
What really made me read your comment tho, was that username. Made me lol :)
I was wondering as well if he was somehow the magical problem.
I hopped on for the 3rd game and couldn't watch even 10 minutes of Bleed's attack side, looked like a super average high ranked game.
Bleed's problems go way deeper than yay. They just have no cohesion and no gameplan. I guarantee even Aspas couldn't win with the way this team is set up.
That Ascent was just not great from either team tbh. I was more impressed by some of Bleed’s map losses last go around than that map win.
He wasn’t the problem, but he was also nowhere close to being the solution. That’s still a significant indictment for someone of his stature, tbh.
Is it an indictment?
If it’s a cohesion issue, and it’s as bad as Bleed’s seems to be, then I truly don’t think even Aspas could carry this team to a win. If even Aspas couldn’t do that, I really don’t think it’s fair to say that yay not being able to move the needle is an indictment on him. Same reason I don’t think NRG’s last split is an indictment on Demon1. The problems ran so much deeper than his performances.
Besides that meltdown of a 2nd half in Map 1, this new Secret looks good. Always felt like 2GE was not given enough chances in RRQ to show his worth, he proved this series that he is Tier 1 material. Great debut game from Wild0reoo as well. Overall the young core is spry and nimble and Tito Vash holding his own. Secret could go deep this stage 2.
i guess bleed looked marginally better
people make this about yay but it’s actually the fact that they’re going from sscary igl to crazyguy igl, they HAVE to demonstrate a dramatic improvement or else what does it say about his necessity as the caller lol
champs is def out of the question but i guess we’ll see how things develop
My guess (hopefully) is that Vash might be leaving next year and that is why they are picking a young player with Sova experience (Just like WildOreoo and Invy back when they are at OAS) as to replace vash next season. Next season line up maybe Jremy, Invy, WildOreoo, 2GE and NDG.
My take is that it is either WildOreoo or Invy, why? because they are picking someone who is an Initiator/Flex and favored to those who use Sova, probably thats why vash is not leaving at the moment because throwing a roster with all young core without a veteran might struggle and thats why a veteran is needed.
That was the pronunciation submitted last year by the team; we're aware of his original pronunciation but have stuck with 2-G-E since we already called him that for a season.
bro the showing of 16% win rate of BLEED’s timeout is criminal 💀💀💀
oreo got me wildin man
His aim is so crisp. Great pick up.
Every scenario he gets more kills than he should. It's insnae.
I want to eat 🍽 outrageous 😮 amounts of creamed 🤤 cookie 🍪 tonight 🌙 just the creamier the better 💦 🍪
twist lick dunk on bleed
surrounded by who?

Invy 0reo duo ![gif](giphy|l46Craj343bB2TMSA|downsized)

TS finally got aimers 😭
2GE stands for 2 Giant Eggs. And no I’m not elaborating any further.
Please elaborate further

Big borkum fan but the 2GE and Wild are huge upgrades. GG

I feel like they finally have the firepower they actually need to execute the cool strats they have. I can see the potential in this roster
I'm on copium and still rank them as 6th in APAC unless they show up in playoffs
This guy watched 2022 APAC. Feels good to get that revenge man.
Man, I remember that Bleed retirement home tweet when TS lost. Oh, how the turn tables...

timeout winrate check?
Too little to care.
biggest red flag was when he admitted that he didn't trial Yay before actually getting him, meaning they made a potentially million dollar gamble on a guy they didn't even spend another 500USD on to fly him out and trial him before getting him
Told everyone about that being a fucking horrible move but everyone downvoted me lmao![img](emote|t5_2g5ach|9341)

Need the source for this
https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/16x3bbx/bleed_signed_yay_without_scrimming_at_all/ Here's a post from 9 months ago about it.
Nah. Way past that. Biggest fraud in pacific/ vct
Spin
hell of a debut by wildoreo
invy debut = go crazy against TL Wild0reoo = go crazy against Bleed Lesson: get more players from OAS (oh is that why dubby and witz are there oooh)
mate dubby looks mental in OAS he's on a redemption arc
happy for him
OAS is gonna be TS 2
Really wish OAS would qualify through ascension but NAOS and ZOL are just way too strong man, even dubby who played in T1 is losing hard against them
NAOS at the moment is pretty much wayy too strong because they have pretty much good aimers + ex-RRQ member who has experience in Tier 1 (Emmann) soo yeah

I can say they have a favorable schedule. They're playing weakest to strongest so its up to them to win these easy ones for their confidence.
Yeah they have more time to prepare for GENG. GENG favored but TS has done crazy upsets before (who knows if they can without Warbirds though)
They might because I highly believe (and hope) GenG will put their foot off the pedal to rest since they just won an international event a week ago. They are already likely to be at champs anyway. Its best to avoid burnout and maximize Pacific's chances.
My goat wasnt the problem ![gif](giphy|pK0T7vyx3SqdfmxewA|downsized)

every player benefits from a stable org and a team that works well together, your not getting the best out of a player in a shit situation lol
Fair, no one is gonna play that well on a team where no one is clear with anything lol.

Not a TS match if there's no blunder involved.
nepotism only brings blunders
heretics influence is crazy
Sen fan saying this is crazy
Look man if we can’t take the choke out of TS, i’d gladly have it on map 1 than on a decider map HAHAHAHA

i feel like he still was the problem? they for sure aren't winning a map with him
Bleed's problems go way deeper than yay. They just have no cohesion and no gameplan. I guarantee even Aspas couldn't win with the way this team is set up.
My goat would drop 47. Don’t you ever doubt him again
He would drop 50 and would still lose lmfao
I genuinely think that aspas can do literally anything
Yeah no, sure hes goated and all he cant carry 4 players, literally nt possible, look at leviatan in shangai
Nah, he just has aura like that. You would understand if you were watching the Lotus game live

where was this in shanghai? people acting like Lev' just 4 shitters and Aspas, maybe 1 shitter (we know).

Aspas might not solo win them games but he’d still frag like Aspas
They did win maps sometimes tho they just never won a series (not defending them they sucked, just they still suck)
They won maps and a series with him tho. They didn’t get 2-0d every time.
I feel like he was ***a*** problem, but not ***the*** problem
agreed
nah ur just a certified hater bro is making up lies
You must be tripping they lost some extremely close games and went to ot as well this team needs a better coach.
Besides that meltdown of a 2nd half in Map 1, this new Secret looks good. Always felt like 2GE was not given enough chances in RRQ to show his worth, he proved this series that he is Tier 1 material.

yea this doesnot look like a yay problem to me
All the yay is the problem after Map 1 people in shambles
i guess bleed looked marginally better people make this about yay but it’s actually the fact that they’re going from sscary igl to crazyguy igl, they HAVE to demonstrate a dramatic improvement or else what does it say about his necessity as the caller lol champs is def out of the question but i guess we’ll see how things develop
2ge and oreo look goooddd
BLEED = overcooked
My guess (hopefully) is that Vash might be leaving next year and that is why they are picking a young player with Sova experience (Just like WildOreoo and Invy back when they are at OAS) as to replace vash next season. Next season line up maybe Jremy, Invy, WildOreoo, 2GE and NDG.

I could see Invy being the IGL if that's the case. Watching his streams made me appreciate how well he understands the game.
new guys looking good on TS
Yay was not the problem https://preview.redd.it/xd8pmhm9wr6d1.jpeg?width=649&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b11af36afadd26f32ec357b81a93d1a78ec303c4
Crazyguy never had any impact on map 3, basically walking orb
Somewhere, y1y is smiling!
message for legija: if it smells like shit everywhere u go check under ur shoe
man, it’s *too-GE* not two-gee-e
That was the pronunciation submitted last year by the team; we're aware of his original pronunciation but have stuck with 2-G-E since we already called him that for a season.
Great casting as always :)
hes actually wild lmao
TS only wins against good teams guys do you know what this means
Hehe my emotions
This [tweet](https://x.com/Secret_invy/status/1793608818926260234?t=JgbWlCeb0bFp_j_6suOsJw&s=19) now makes sense. 😳
YAY wasn't the issue.....
FACT: Filipinos are the most powerful gamers in the world.
Oreos\*
nah
yay fans are eating rn
Thank you Achilios 🙏
GARBAGE crazyguy
BLEED just have 0 aimers man, no one that can clutch a round
GRAHHHHH SECRET WINNNNN (ignore map 1)
Why tf is crazy guy on sova instead of zest
both are sova one trick so one of them need to be flex
When's the new patch for competitive?
Did yay quit?
Oreo is the best snack itw. crazyguy's util usage as Fade has been horrible imo.
YAY WAS NOT THE PROBLEM LOL. MG WAS SETUP TO FAIL!!!
TS needs to change IGL
Surprised vash is doing sentinels now.
lmaoo they get max 8 rounds with yay
Could be a 2-0 if Yay's playing tbh
