NS talks about the end of Team Secret

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov believes that the era of Team Secret is ending. The streamer was prompted to such thoughts by the fact that the team was weaker than Tundra Esports, Entity and OG in the closed qualification for TI13, and the captain Klement "Puppey" Ivanov misses the main tournament of The International for the first time this year.

The content maker shared a relevant opinion with viewers of the private Twitch broadcast.

"It's coming down to, of course, Team Secret running out on us. That year Puppey missed his first The International of all time. I mean Puppey had been to all The Internationals before that, more than that - all The Internationals as a player. That is, there were people who had been to all The Internationals, but, for example, as a player first, then as a coach, then as a commentator or whatever. And Puppey was as a player at all The Internationals. That was the only person, there was no other like that. But last year that story ended - Puppey missed the Int too, that's it, it didn't work out. And this year, honestly, it looks like that.... I think Tundra Esports, Entity, and OG are all three teams stronger than Team Secret, by feel. And maybe some PSG Quest could also be stronger than Team Secret."

Team Secret left the closed qualification for The International 2024 after a 2 : 0 loss to PSG Quest in the quarterfinals of the lower grid, where the lineup was sent to Tundra Esports, also beating the team on two consecutive maps. Team Secret were able to win the only match against MOUZ, who at this point also left the qualifiers.
