Regional qualifiers for Wallachia Season 2 begin tomorrow with a new lineup for Team Secret to debut.
For the last few weeks, Team Secret has been letting go of team members and tweeting about the incoming changes. No one has been surprised by any of their movements so far. It was quite expected that an overhaul in the team roster would need to happen after failing for the second year in a row to qualify for The International.
Today, the organization made the official announcement that pointed to Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov being the only remaining member on the roster.
This comes just one day before they will need to compete as an invited team to the Western Regional Closed Qualifiers for PGL's Wallachia Season 2.
So what's a team to do?
Well, they pulled together a seemingly haphazard ragtag group to compete with. While this iteration would leave most fans scratching their heads, it does make sense that it would be a temporary stop-gap roster.

However, that does lead to more questions such as – for the teams that do qualify, will this be their final form to compete with at the main event in October? The tournament will be taking place merely weeks after The International concludes – right in the thick of the ‘silly season’, the topsy-turvey post-TI shuffle. Players will be shifting alliances all over the place and nothing is ever for certain.
Team Secret will debut this roster tomorrow, Wednesday, August 14th at 19:00 CEST as they take on Trouble Makers Reborn from Turkey.
