Still, Team Secret’s sheer class and top performances spanning from May to September 2020 has been written down as one of the most dominating phases in Dota 2 history. As a result, they have rightfully been placed as a contender for the Best Esports Team in 2020. They are battling it out with teams from Overwatch League, League of Legends and Call of Duty.
