We continue to review what is happening as part of the DPC 2021/22 Tour II. In this analysis, I propose to focus on Western Europe.
A very interesting match will take place in the region today. Team Secret will play with Entity.
Show me this sign before the start of the season, I would not hesitate to call Team Secret the winner. But times go by, and with them the balance of power on the professional scene changes.
Such a story happened to Team Secret, who are experiencing difficulties in the second round of DPC 2021/22.
Team Secret uniform
Team Secret will play as the favorite in this match. The bookmakers estimate the success of Secret with a coefficient of about 1.8, and the difference with Entity is a couple of hundredths.
In general, Secret are favorites only on paper, and then with a stretch. In fact, we have parity, which is not at all surprising with the current Secret.
Team Secret roster
- Nisha
- SumaiL
- iceiceice
- YapzOr
- Puppey
It seems that this season will finally finish off the fashion for superstar lineups. The first, reference roster with eminent players represented by Team Nigma has already gone to the lower division, and now Secret has all the prerequisites to repeat the success of their colleagues.
Team Secret latest match results
- 2-0 victory over Team Liquid
- Lost to Tundra Esports 0-2
- 2-1 victory over OG
- Lost to Gladiators 0-2
- Lost to Brame 1-2
The last match with Brame revealed another problem of the current Secret: unstable morale. Having lost, roughly speaking, the won map, Secret failed to pull themselves together on the decisive one and generally gave it toothlessly to an opponent much weaker than themselves.
Team Secret Heroes
Most Picked Secret Heroes in 7.31: Tiny (5 matches, 40% win rate), Ember Spirit (3 matches, 66% win rate), Lina (3 matches, 66% win rate).
Most successful Secret heroes in patch 7.31: Templar Assassin (2 matches, 100% win rate), Natures Prophet (1 match, 100% win rate).
Form Entity
Entity will play as catch-ups in this match. We recall the minimum difference in the coefficients.
Since the days of Creepwave, the Entity backbone has shown the beginnings of a serious DotA, and now it has a chance to reveal itself to the fullest. Entity has everything for this.
Entity Composition
- crystallis
- Stormstormer
- Toby
- Kataomi
- Fishman
Entity has not yet had any problems with "stardom". With performance, everything is also nothing.
Entity Latest Match Results
- 2-0 victory over Gambit Esports
- Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 2-1
- Winstrike Team 3-0
- Lost to Team Liquid 1-2
- 2-0 victory over Nigma
In the match against Nigma, Entity showed us a fairly flexible dota with a unique playstyle. For Secret, such a “non-academic” opponent in a good sense of the word will become a problem.
Entity Heroes
Most Picked Entity Heroes in 7.31: Lina (2 matches, 50% win rate), Huskar (2 matches, 50% win rate), Winter Wyvern (2 matches, 0% win rate).
Most successful Entity heroes in patch 7.31: Spirit Breaker (1 match, 100% win rate), Bane (1 match, 100% win rate), Death Prophet (1 match, 100% win rate).
History of personal meetings
Previously, the teams in these lineups did not play with each other. This match will be the debut face-to-face confrontation.
Exodus
I don't expect an easy win for Secret in this fight. As for me, the only scenario in which this meeting will end with a score of 2-0 is a clear victory for Entity, which is hard to believe.
They will play very safe and I will take +1.5 on Fishman and company.
Bottom line: +1.5 on Entity.
