Team Secret return to Skyred

3-12-2015 21:16

Team Secret are once again playing under the banner of Skyred, Cong "crazyguy" Anh Ngo has told HLTV.org.

The Vietnamese side had been playing under the name Team Secret after parting ways with Skyred as they hoped for a fresh start after a period of turmoil that saw them relinquish their spot in the MixBOT Pro-League Invite.

Last month, the team made headlines as they won SoStronk KOTH Asia #1 after seeing off Puzzle 3-2 in the grand final to secure a $4,000 payout and a spot in the second edition of the tournament.

cLb & co return to Skyred

In addition to a return to Skyred, the team is welcoming Hoang "⁠J0hnnyP⁠" Tri Phan, who will step into the shoes of Anthony "⁠ImpressioN⁠" Lim as the players felt that fine-tuning the squad was needed in order to scale greater heights in the future.

"We changed a player because we feel that with the lineup we had in Team Secret we could not go to any major," team member Cong "crazyguy" Anh Ngo told HLTV.org.

"We are working hard, and we hope Valve will host an Asian qualifier for the next major."

The team's hopes of featuring at the first major of 2016 remain in the balance as MLG has not yet revealed any details about the qualifying process for the event, which will take place from March 29-April 3.

Skyred's team consist of:

Hoang "⁠cLb⁠" Nguyen Vu
Cong "⁠crazyguy⁠" Anh Ngo
Ngoc "⁠Zac⁠" Thien Nguyen
Hoang "⁠d@rklord⁠" Giang Phung
Hoang "⁠J0hnnyP⁠" Tri Phan

Team Secret is not an organisation. Team Secret is just the name of Puppey's team. He doesn't want an organisation as he doesn't feel like they offer enough to be worth the hassle. Therefor they can't even sign a team, because they are no organisation.

It's not. Search the word organisation and see wether or not it fits Team Secret. I can tell you right away; it does not.

ffabr doesn't seem like the brightest fish in the pond.. tho team secret easily could invest some of their winnings into making an organization, if they'd want that. get some sponsors, put some own money in, acquire like 2 teams from outside-the-spotlight games, aka not from LoL/DotA2/CS:GO, get an even bigger fanbase, ergo more sponsors, etc.. the cycle of a wellrun organization. for that you'd obviously need some well-trained ceos/managers on the other hand.

they are an org now brah lol, i dont even play dota but a simple google search gave me the answer, team secret's original lineup disbanded thats when they were open to sponsorship cuz they didn't have 5 rich players to support themselves.

actually, in Vietnam, "team Secret" is just a name for a team and it's a coincidence when it got a same name with the org Secret on the world, that swagMasta got a good knowledge about this.

2015-12-04 02:17

You acquired some insider info that nobody else has with your simple google search?

2015-12-04 07:41

Oh you all mean because of Kemal they're suddenly an organization? Because of Kemal they're more like a semifamous boyband with a decent mid- to toplevel-manager..

2015-12-04 07:45

Actually it wasn't an organisation at the beggining but it has become one after getting a sponsorship by some turkish businessman. Here is an interview with the owner of Secret from TI5 youtube.com/watch?v=mOGedmE0SBc

guy is crazy

Valve you must give an Asia qualifier and not invite any Aussie teams to it.

I hope for majors to be more interesting, like ESWC with all region, valve seems want fair for only top16 though :(

2015-12-03 21:23

its not fair for bad teams to get hundreds of thousands of dollar in sticker money dude

2015-12-03 21:39

I think less money for the stickers and more for the prize of winning

2015-12-03 21:53

ESL had a qualifier for asia, both aus teams took it tho.

2015-12-04 04:11

yes, #24 mentions "no aus teams invited" xD

2015-12-04 04:32

Skyred and aussies took part in the same qualifiers and both failed for the last major.

2015-12-04 05:32

Finally they got crazyguy in :DDD

yeah i saw that when i was searching him on sk (#118). Such an amazing achivement.

2015-12-04 10:01

True that :/ but Indonesia more relevant than SG in eSports anyway (within top 10 Asia, SG teams are crappy)

2015-12-04 10:51

Maybe in FPS You guys have a good track on DOTA2 Some nice placings in big tournaments and iceiceice

2015-12-04 00:32

I hope they get a shot at going to a major, they were really impressive. Asian teams have always been a swing-vote in CS, so it'd be nice to have them back.

2015-12-04 00:47

Gonna be BEST VIETNAMESE team also probably no1 in asia. rip Qeeyou and Tyloo

2015-12-04 01:30

RIP IMPRESSION he was ok

2015-12-04 01:33

He was more than ok but he's not Vietnamese so its kinda hard to have him in the team i guess

2015-12-04 01:54

vietnamese dream team with 5 players all capable of fragging. this looks scary -forged pls nxl or RIP

2015-12-04 01:55

this team will get a very good CT-side with current map pool, the problem is I don't know which one of them will become the strat-caller, maybe noobLord?

2015-12-04 02:22

But Richard carries the team Kappa

2015-12-04 02:51

who the hell is Richard :-?

2015-12-04 03:08

just a old noob nxl player. no need to know him, he's just burden to the team.

why don't 3 of the skyred members have pictures? They attended Dreamhack Open Qual and there are a lot of pictures available from there. It'd obviously make them grow.
