Last year, Team Secret showed a phenomenal decline in playing form.

Needless to say, Secret missed out on all three Major Championships in the season? Things were not much better at tournaments from third-party organisers, although there is something to note here. At DreamLeague Season 20 Team Secret took 11-12th places and earned $20,000 in prize money. A financial success was participation in Riyadh Masters 2023, where 9th-12th place in the standings provided $300,000. Bronze at BetBoom Dacha 2023 brought an additional $25,000 in prize money. At the end of the year, the team qualified for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, where they finished in 7th-8th place and earned $47,500. Already in 2024, Puppey re-started his team. Kordan and Ekki joined the team, replacing MidOne and yamich.
