Prediction for a duel involving Team Secret and Entity as part of the qualifiers for The International 11, the winner will make his life easier in the qualifiers, as he is guaranteed to get to TI11, the Last Chance stage.
Let me remind you that Entity was the team that did not let Team Secret go to the Major in Arlington, Fishman & co won 2:1 in replays, but, remembering that game, a lot depended on the terrible performance of iceiceice, and there was also a moment in the mid, where Necrophos after a buyback a fraction of the chance, he found Terrorblade and managed to ult, that game was exactly at the dictation of Team Secret.
Overall, Nisha is definitely stronger than Stormstormer in his current state; pure is more stable than Crystallis, but Tobi is greedier than Resolut1on, but Roma looks more team and synergistic with Zayac.

3 times the teams played each other in 2022, Entity won 2 times with a score of 2:1, the last match was on August 24 and ended in a 1:1 draw. In the current lineups there was only 1 game and it ended 1:1.
I think you shouldn't give pure to Pudge and already think something against Alchemist in advance, and definitely don't forget about Enigma. Puppey should finally realize who "Secret" is the real carry and therefore it is Nisha who should take heroes who can close the map in solo, not Kunkka/Timbersaw, but some Lina/Puck/Ember Spirit.
I would rather believe in Secret, but Fishman perfectly knows the weaknesses of Crystallis and therefore there is this factor that Entity is comfortable playing specifically against Crystallis. This is a logical bet on 3 maps, however, I think that Team Secret is able to close for 2 maps if they play Nisha and take him normal heroes who will close the map alone. It will be interesting and very interesting to look at the draft teams. There is a battle for Faceless Void, for Pudge, for Monkey King, for Enigma and so on.
