Jessie Cristy “Jessievash” Cuyco, Jayvee “Dubstep” Paguirigan, Jim “Borkum” Timbreza, Jeremy “Jremy” Cabrera, and Adrian “Invy” Reyes, will be facing DRX, rivals Paper Rex, T1, Zeta Division and one other undetermined team in the playoffs to be held in Sangam Coliseum. Bucking a 2-5 slump in Haven, Team Secret erupted with a 4-1 run to end the first half tied 6-6, behind Jremy’s clutch plays. They pulled away by outscoring the India squad with a 7-3 run as the attackers, capping it off with an elimination win in round 22. Jremy collected a 256 average combat score, behind a 20/14 /7 kill-death-assist card. Indonesian national Cahya &quot;Monyet&quot; Nugraha hard-carried GE in Haven, with a whopping 293 ACS despite the loss. With the scoreline at 9-8 at Lotus, the Pinoys pulled away at the defenders’ side to take the series and secure their playoffs spot. Ahead of the match, Team Secret, figured in a four-way brawl for the last two spots of the playoffs, as the possibility of a four-way tie that will be segmented by head-to-head statistics loomed. An earlier win against Pacific powerhouse DRX and the recent win against Global Esports meant the easiest and most outright chance for Team Secret to get their playoffs spot. Despite the victory, head coach Evan &quot;Warbirds&quot; Olzem thinks there is room for improvement. “I think we played better [against] DRX. In this series [against GE] we we were a little in our heads and overthinking, &quot; he told reporters in a post-match press conference. Three spots to the Valorant Masters in Tokyo, Japan and Valorant Champions in Los Angeles, California are at stake in the 2-month long competition held in Seoul.
