Ilya "Kiritych" Ulyanov, Carry of Team Secret, shared that the squad was gathered urgently and without training time was the main reason why they failed to win tickets to attend The International 2025.

“We lost to Yellow Submarine. Very disappointed, even a bit heartbreaking, because these are the tournaments that you always want to participate in.

After the DreamLeague 26, I did not have a relaxing day. Immediately, the qualifying round opened, immediately fly, then practice. I may not recreate my spirit and emotions, my spiritual style is not in the best state. I played well, pressing the button is fine, but my mind is not ready. I need at least one or two days after Dreamleague. But that is life.

We simply have no time. The squad was assembled just a few days before the open qualifying round. There is almost no practice. And the results reflect that reality. ”

🔎 The main problem of Team Secret:

The squad folded before the qualifying round only a few days.

There is no practice time, no time to build tactics.

Kiritych entered the tournament right after the Dreamleague 26 without resting.

Mentally, he admitted that he was not really ready.

🎯 Bitter failure:

Team Secret lost to Yellow Submarine, missed both The International 2025 and Esports World Cup 2025 (EWC).

This is the next year that Team Secret continues to be absent from major tournaments after the squad has many fluctuations.

📝 This year's panoramic picture:

Competition in Western Europe is extremely fierce.

Many strong teams such as Secret, OG, Nigma Galaxy cannot win tickets to TI14.

Surprising teams like Yellow Submarine, 4pirates rise again.
