Team Secret's uniforms
Team Secret have dropped significantly in both their season and overall level of play this year. Although just a year ago Puppey and his teammates won silver at The International 2022. The DPC 2023 ranking season started for Team Secret with a disappointing eighth place at DPC WEU 2023 Tour 1: Division I, where the players played with a 1-6 statistic, received $22,000 as a consolation prize and dropped to the second division. A convincing win over lesser opponents on DPC WEU 2023 Tour 2: Division II put them back into the top 8 of the region and earned them $17,000. The third round of the DPC Team Secret failed again, playing to the same score as the first round. Puppey and his team were thus relegated to the second division and had to play qualification for The International 2023. The 11th-12th place at DreamLeague Season 20 brought Team Secret $20,000. Only TS's participation in Riyadh Masters 2023 smoothed out the season financially. The tournament in Saudi Arabia brought the team $300,000 for 9th-12th place in the standings.
Prior to participating in BetBoom Dacha Team Secret took part in The International 2023 - Western Europe Qualifier. Puppey and team started their qualification for the Dota 2 Western Europe World Championship in the top set with a match against OG. The victory on two maps in a row ensured their passage to the semi-finals. There Team Secret could not cope with Entity and, having lost two maps, lost the right to make a mistake. In the quarter-finals of the lower grid Team Secret defeated Level UP with the score 2:0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the losers. A 1-2 loss to Quest Esports denied Puppey and his teammates a chance to qualify for The International 2023.
Team Secret's recent results stats:
- A 1-2 defeat to Quest Esports
- A 2-0 win over Level UP.
- 0:2 loss to Entity
- 2:0 win over OG
- 0:2 loss to 9Pandas
Evil Geniuses uniform
Evil Geniuses' South American squad started the year with DPC SA 2023 Tour 1: Division I, where they finished in second place and earned $28,000 and 180 DPC points. The squad then travelled to Lima Major 2023 where they reached the top 6 and earned $25,000 and 200 ranking points as a reward. In the second round of the ranking season, EG repeated their result and finished second at DPC SA 2023 Tour 2: Division I, earning $28,000 and more points to qualify for The International 2023. Seventh place at DreamLeague Season 19 earned Matthew and his team $42,500 in prize money. ESL One Berlin Major 2023 was an even bigger success for the South American club. Fourth place guaranteed the team $50,000 and 350 DPC points. A win at the DPC SA 2023 Tour 3: Division I secured Evil Geniuses a direct invitation to The International 2023 and a $30,000 grand prize. The second tournament of the ESL Pro Tour Dota 2 2023 series, DreamLeague Season 20, ended with Evil Geniuses taking sixth place and $47,500 in prize money. At Bali Major 2023, the Peruvians performed poorly and finished 17th-18th in the standings, but this event didn't change anything for them, as the team will still go to the Dota 2 World Championship.
The previous professional tournament in which Evil Geniuses participated was the Riyadh Masters 2023, held recently in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. There the teams competed for an impressive $15,000,000 prize pool. The organisers of the championship invited Matthew and his teammates to the group stage of the tournament, so they did not play in the Play-In EG. The group stage did not go well for Evil Geniuses. The 2-3-2 statistics sent the team to play a tiebreaker against 9Pandas. After losing the bo1 series, EG took the sixth place in Group A. Thus, the players made it to the bottom of the play-offs. The defeat of Team Aster on two maps in a row ended Evil Geniuses' participation at Riyadh Masters 2023. The Peruvians earned $300,000 for 9th-12th place.
Evil Geniuses latest results statistics:
- 0-2 loss to Team Aster
- A 0-1 loss to 9Pandas.
- 2:0 win over Xtreme Gaming
- 0:2 defeat by PSG.LGD
- Defeat by Quest Esports with the score 0:2
