Alliance vs Team Secret: Match Recap, Highlights, and Interview

Recap

Game 1 saw Team Secret emerging out ahead in the laning phase for the umpteenth time. Alliance could not fight into Secret’s high sustain draft until S4, and his teammates took an incredible fight around their top barracks. That marked the turnaround for Alliance as Nikobaby went ham on his Lifestealer helping his team secure a victory in 37 minutes. 

Game 2 witnessed Team Secret stall the game as they had a greedy core group of Morphling, Lone Druid, and Zai’s Axe who had opted for an unconventional Manta Style build. While things seemed to look bleak for Team Secret, they played a crucial teamfight perfectly, which put them in the driver’s seat. Nikobaby once again delivered a mind-blowing performance but could not lead Alliance to victory in this game.

Game 3 was another fabulous performance from Alliance as all of their heroes were on point with their spellcasting in every teamfight. Secret was also oftentimes playing in an aggressive way despite being down in networth. With S4 and his teammates just being the better group, they won the third game in 38 minutes.

Alliance Limmp talks about hitting Puppey with a ‘Tip’ in game 3

Alliance’s midlaner, Linus "Limmp" Blomdin, surprisingly tipped Puppey when they had almost won the third game. While pros oftentimes tip each other, tipping Puppey is a rare sight to witness. Talking about the reason behind it, Limmp said,

“It was just a heat of the moment thing. I was just feeling, feeling good, you know, tipped him, whatever. There’s no beef there. I would expect them to tip more, actually. I think they usually do, but they didn’t tip like once. I guess this was a tip-less series.”
