Chapter 2: The First Captain.
\n\nPuppey, also known as Navi captain or broken monitor in DOTA2 memes, successfully qualified for the Leipzig major despite having need to play through the open qualifiers due to missing the first major.
\n\nWith his self-made team that has undergone roster shuffles as much as after each TI, the team has still managed to consistently win majors and qualify to Internationals, making Puppey and Team Secret, one of the most consistent teams in the pro scene.
\n\nPuppey has once again proven that he is one of the best captain in the pro scene after being able to make it to every TI, up to the recent TI9. While Team Secret will remain as one of the favourites coming into this major, we can have at least some expectation for another team in the minor.
\n\n\n\nChapter 3: Yo, ma Nigma.
\n\nNigma is the name. The organization name that the former TI7 champion roster (without Matumbaman) will be carrying at least until TI10 ends. After suffering an unexpected defeat in the EU qualifiers, forcing them to play the minor, the Kuroky squad is still a favourite in the minor. Meanwhile, the former Liquid player who was kicked this year before TI9, is probably laughing his ass off as his new career in Team Secret prove to be a great start to an epic success.
\n\nNow, it's ironic to see that there's way more TI champions playing the minor, such as Kuroky's squad, EG former champions, PPD, UNIVERSE and Aui_2000. Whether if Nigma wins the minor and proceed to the major, we will have to wait till January when the minor takes place.
\n\n\n\nChapter 4: Where's OG?
\n\nMeanwhile team OG is busy preparing a sister team to compete in the DPC season instead. While team OG Seed has fallen short, good news is that the original team OG has confirmed that they will be back for the third major in February 2020. This is somewhat confirmed by Ceb who was interviewed by a French news, L’equipe.
\n\nHaving that said, they will still need to qualify through the open qualifiers and not fall too early like the case of LGD.PSG.
\n\nStay tuned as we await the last team to qualify for the Leipzig major!
