ShiiShak Explains How He Joined Team Secret

Streamer Alexey "ShiiShak" Ustinov shared how he was invited to join Team Secret in Dota 2. He encountered Clement "Puppey" Ivanov several times in matchmaking.

"On May 22nd, I reached 12,000 MMR, and that's when I ran into Puppey in a public match. I had crossed paths with him several times before that. Apparently, he noticed me, added me, and messaged me, suggesting we play some games together in Captains Mode. And that's how it all happened, nothing special," Ustinov said.

"I was honestly shocked. I never expected anything like this. I was just playing public matches, doing decently well, but... Honestly, I was in shock at first. Then I got used to it when I started playing with the guys. Now everything's fine, I've adapted," he added.

Alexey "ShiiShak" Ustinov joined Team Secret as a stand-in at the end of May 2024. With him, the team did not advance from the group stage in FISSURE Universe Episode 2 and failed to qualify for Riyadh Masters 2024.
