Puppey spoke out about the victory over Virtus.pro at Elite League 2024

Team Secret captain Clement Puppey Ivanov gave an interview after his team's victory over Virtus.pro during the first day of the Swiss stage of Elite League 2024. He said that Secret changed their approach to the game after failing to qualify for DreamLeague Season 23, but the main idea remained the same: "We just play Dota 2."

Clement revealed that there is no secret to winning, the team just played Dota 2.

What's the secret to winning? I don't know, just playing Dota 2 right now. It's only the first game. Maybe we'll lose the next one, but we'll see.

Puppey also told how Team Secret 's preparation for the game changed after the changes in the squad. Recall that the team recently left the fourth position player Marcel Ekki Holovienko. His place was taken by lineup coach Tew ah fu Soon Chuan, and the position of mentor was taken by Lee Heen Seung-gon, who has already coached Team Secret from 2019 to 2023.

Has the preparation changed since Heen's return? We lost the qualifications for DreamLeague, after that we decided to rebuild the game. A lot of stress was built up. I think it's better to just relax a bit and scrimmage less. Let's see what happens.

Team Secret defeated Virtus.pro in the first round of the Swiss Elite League 2024, the series ended 2-0. In addition to Puppey`s team, Talon Esports, Entity, Nigma Galaxy and others also made it to the second round with a 1-0 score.
