We continue to selectively watch the matches of OGA Dota PIT Europe/CIS: Season 5. The next in turn is the duel between Team Liquid and Team Secret.
A kind of rehearsal for the DPC, because with a high probability this pair will compete for the championship in Europe. Of course, there is still Tundra, but so far it looks exactly like Liquid Secret.
This match is both good and not so good. Not really, because we run the risk of running into "tests" from the clubs and get an indistinct game, picks and everything in the world.
He is good in all other respects: the storyline between Puppey, Zai and MATUMBA, the title teams are performing well in the new season, and so on. Let's figure out who will be stronger in this confrontation.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will play as the nominal favorite in this match. The European grandee is rated higher.
In general, this is probably the case. Still, Secret recently took the TOP-3 of The International 10, although only 3 players remained from that roster.
Team Secret Roster
- Nisha
- SumaiL
- iceiceice
- YapzOr
- Puppey
Secret started the season very sluggishly, but it looks like the "buildup" has gone. We saw this in the last "secret" match.
Team Secret Recent Results
- Lost to PSG.LGD with a score of 0-2
- Defeat from Team Spirit with a score of 1-2
- Lost to OG with a score of 0-2
- Defeat Alliance 2-0
- Beat Tundra Esports 2-1
They showed a class against Tundra Secret and I hope they will show it during OGA Dota PIT Season 5.

Team Liquid Form
Another European grand, Team Liquid, will play the role of catch-up in this match. Let us suppose.
Here we will be guided by the same logic as when parsing Secret. Liquid has 2 players in the current roster who took the TOP-3 of The International. Here is such an amusing arithmetic.
Team Liquid Roster
- MATUMBAMAN
- miCKe
- Boxi
- zai
- iNSaNia
The team is working, and quite well-coordinated. MATUMBAMAN and zai fit in well.

History of personal confrontations
In the new line-ups, the teams did not face each other in official games. This match will be the opening confrontation.
Exodus
One would like to expect a bright struggle and equal play from this match. My bet is on total +2.5, although it is very likely that the teams will play half their strength.
Outcome: total +2.5.
