Seleri Speaks Up for Team Secret

The captain of Gaimin Gladiators, Melchior "Seleri" Hillenkamp, defended Team Secret, stating that the team consistently finds itself in the participant lists of significant championships despite facing a considerable amount of negativity from the Dota 2 audience.

Seleri shared this opinion during an interview with organizers in a live broadcast of the championship on the ESL Dota 2 YouTube channel.

"I like reading people's thoughts on new team rosters; it's amusing. The community constantly hates on Team Secret, but the team still makes it to tournaments," stated Melchior "Seleri" Hillenkamp.

Team Secret exited the lower bracket of the ESL One Kuala Lumpur playoffs after a defeat against Team Liquid, while Gaimin Gladiators secured the second spot in the championship, losing to Azure Ray in the finals.

It's worth noting that earlier, Team Spirit Manager Dmitry "Korb3n" Belov claimed that Azure Ray was supposed to be eliminated from the ESL One Kuala Lumpur championship.
