TNC Predator Takes Down Team Secret in Dramatic Match at The International 2019
Day three of The International 2019 saw an intense battle between TNC Predator and Team Secret. TNC bounced back from a poor start in game one to secure a victory against the undefeated European powerhouse.
TNC is known for their aggressive early-game playstyle, but Secret managed to force them into a farm-heavy early game. This proved challenging for TNC, who struggled to execute their strategy against Secret’s safe lineup.
In game two, TNC adopted a more cautious approach while Secret took risks. The match remained close, with neither team establishing an early lead. However, TNC eventually pulled ahead in the mid-game and forced Secret to make the first move in conflicts.
In an impressive display, Secret’s player Michał “Nisha” Jankowski dealt a staggering 12,789 damage in just 56 seconds. Despite TNC’s advantage, Secret emerged victorious in that fight.
This loss initially shook TNC’s momentum, but they quickly regained their composure and capitalized on Secret’s mistakes. In a nail-biting finish, Carlo “Kuku” Palad’s Batrider pulled off some incredible last-minute heroics, securing a crucial win for TNC.
With their victory over Secret, TNC has proven themselves as strong contenders for the championship. However, they still need to clean up their series against Chaos Esports Club to secure a top-four spot in Group A.
