In a surprising twist that’s set to shake up the competitive Dota 2 scene, Team Secret has unveiled a significant shift within its ranks.
The organization has announced the transition of coach Tue “ah fu” Soon Chuan to the position four role, stepping in for Marcel “Ekki” Hołowienko. This move comes amidst swirling rumors of Ekki’s departure, now confirmed as he takes a step back into the bench.
Ah fu’s shift to a playing role has left a void in the coaching position, promptly filled by the return of a familiar face, Lee “Heen” Seung Gon. After a brief hiatus from the Dota 2 battlegrounds, Heen is back, ready to steer Team Secret with his strategic acumen. Having been a cornerstone of Secret’s coaching staff for nearly five years, his return is heralded as the “return of the king,” a testament to his impact and legacy within the team.
Ah Fu: From Strategist to Playmaker
Ah fu’s transition from coach to player is not just a change of title but a strategic move that leverages his deep understanding of the game. Known for his aggressive support playstyle, ah fu is anticipated to bring a proactive, dynamic approach to the team’s strategy. His penchant for engaging heroes like Earth Spirit and Earthshaker aligns with his aggressive, kill-seeking playstyle, promising a fresh impetus to Secret’s gameplay.
Team captain Clement “Puppey” Ivanov has lauded ah fu’s inclusion, noting the unique perspective and playstyle ah fu brings to the table, influenced by their previous collaboration at Team SMG alongside Yeik “MidOne” Nai Zheng. This blend of experience and strategic foresight is expected to infuse Team Secret with a new vigor.
Heen’s Return: A Strategic Boon
Heen’s comeback is more than just a coaching change; it’s a strategic masterstroke. With his profound understanding of the game and a track record of excellence, Heen’s role will transcend mere coaching, delving deep into drafting strategies and overall team dynamics. His presence is a boon, especially in contrast to the team’s recent reliance on Puppey’s experience, as it brings a seasoned perspective to a lineup brimming with youthful talent.
Team Secret’s Renewed Lineup
With these changes, Team Secret’s lineup now boasts a blend of experience and fresh talent:
- Remco “Crystallis” Arets – Pos 1
- Teng “Kordan” Tjin Yao – Pos 2
- Miroslav “BOOM” Bičan – Pos 3
- Tue “ah fu” Soon Chuan – Pos 4
- Clement “Puppey” Ivanov – Pos 5
- Lee “Heen” Seung Gon – Coach
As Secret gears up for the DreamLeague Season 23: Western Europe Closed Qualifier and Elite League, all eyes will be on this revamped roster.
