Natus Vincere

The date is June 27th 2014, and Valve have just released a statement about the Fnatic and Era incident. That's when Puppey comes up with a plan.

"If we try our hardest and win TI4 this year, there's no way we'll stand a chance in tournaments after next patch. Just look at what icefrog did to Alliance."

Puppey had tapped into the matrix and he could see how the events of TI4 and the following months would unfold. Newbee would win TI4, but xiao8 would retire, and the early game meta would be nerfed, so next year they wouldn't be as difficult to beat. DK would also disband and VG would not have enough time to form as a new cohesive unit.

With these powerful eastern teams weakened after TI4 there was only one thing Puppey had to do to make sure he could win TI5. He had to make sure the Western teams were weak as well. He told the rest of Na'vi about this plan and Kuro agreed to go along with him to steal the best players from Fnatic and Alliance away from their teams. While the Dendi, XBOCT and Funn1k would steal players from Empire and other CIS teams. Puppey called his new super-squad Team Secret, though not even the other players knew why.

Months later the TI5 invites come out. Team Secret have easily secured themselves an invite, while Na'Vi make it easily through the European qualifiers.

"All is going according to plan", says Puppey.

Now it is time for TI5, everyone is in Seattle. Kaci asks Puppey in an early interview what is his "Secret"?

"Well I guess it's finally time to reveal it. The Secret is that I will be rejoining with Na'vi."

Everyone is shocked, outraged even. "This can't be allowed", they say, but Puppey explains how Valve states:

"When we invite a team of five players, we are in fact inviting those five players. Each of those players is allowed to control their participation in our tournament solely.

To be clear, no, no one else can make the decision about participating in our event other than the player."

Everyone is upset, but there's nothing they can do, all five players for Na'vi technically had invites to TI5.

In the group stages Na'vi easily take almost every game, only dropping matches to EG. Na'vi lose game 1 of the winner's bracket and fall to the losers bracket, but manage to easily beat the other teams and make it to the finals.

"Now it's time to show my real strats", thinks Puppey.

No one ever seen such drafting in the history of Dota. EG concedes each game before the horn blows.

"We just got out-drafted", says Fear, "gg wp".

The crowd begins to cheer, they had never seen such convincing games since the TI4 finals. They being to cheer "USA, USA, USA."
