Ekki shared details of collaboration with Puppey amidst departure from Team Secret

Marcel "Ekki" Golovienko stated that Team Secret's captain, Clement "Puppey" Ivanov, helped elevate him to a new level and imparted valuable Dota 2 knowledge crucial for a professional player.

The esports athlete shared these thoughts in an interview with Metaratings.

"It's very interesting to play with him. When you become a pro player, there are many subtle things that you cannot overlook. Puppey helps me become a better player. Now I make in-game decisions much faster. Playing with Puppey is quite fascinating."

Additionally, Marcel "Ekki" Golovienko mentioned that it was Clement "Puppey" Ivanov who invited him to play the fourth position in Team Secret. In DreamLeague Season 22, Team Secret secured the sixth spot in Group B, winning 6 out of 14 played maps. With this result, the team exited the championship.

It's worth recalling that earlier, BetBoom Team's offlaner Matvey "MieRo" Vasyunin cited the main reason for his success on the Dota 2 pro scene.
