Team Secret beat Liquid at DPC WEU 2021/2022 Tour 3: Division I

Team Liquid failed to beat Team Secret who were playing with a stand-in. Secret once again played with Zayac instead of YapzOr. The previous meeting between the teams also ended with the victory of Secret, and also with a score of 2:0.

On the first map of the confrontation, Team Liquid had a good laning stage and MATUMBAMAN had a good farm on his beloved Natures Prophet. However, as soon as the game approached the mid-game, it was noticeable that for the "liquids" the game became harder and harder. Secret's carry played Bristleback, and Secret had Timbersaw. Even though this is the signature hero for iceiceice, he was played by Nisha in the mid lane. After some bad fights for Liquid, Captain Puppey's team had a 5k gold lead at 21 minutes. And on the 26th minute, an unfavorable fight for the horses takes place, the carry, midlaner and support of the fourth position die, in exchange for two supports. The road to the second Roshan has also opened. Although Liquid's Monkey King stole the aegis, Secret managed to avoid a fatal fight and escaped with little bloodshed. The showdown took place at 31 minutes when Zayac broke in well with his Hookshot and Secret backed him up. A failed fight for horses and a broken throne at the 32nd minute.

On the second map, Team Liquid had a good advantage, they had a seemingly more powerful draft and about 5k gold advantage. But the Secret team was not catching up for long, after a series of successful fights, they pull ahead. Each fight for Secret went very well, they kited the enemy carry Troll Warlord from time to time, and after the end of his BKB, he was not released from control. On this map, Templar Assasin turned out to be stronger than Troll Warlord with a powerful buy. At the 40th minute, Team Liquid were squeezed at the base, and Team Secret had a significant advantage, which they managed to convert. Team Liquid write GG in the 41st minute.
