Team Secret Continue To Struggle
Team Secret have been very disappointing this stage, and even in the VCT Pacific Stage 2 Play-In, they’ve not shown much improvement.
After a fifth-place finish in Group Omega with a 1-4 record, Team Secret bested Xipto Esports in the first round of the play-ins. The somewhat improved performances, however, were followed up by a very shaky showing against Nongshim RedForce, who humiliated Secret with a 2-0 sweep in the upper bracket round 2.
Team Secret have been struggling this stage, and while some other bottom teams have looked improved in the play-ins, Secret appear to be the same squad who barely managed to scrape one win during the regular season.

ONSIDE GAMING Can Do Damage
ONSIDE GAMING have played just one game so far in the VCT Pacific Stage 2 Play-In, when they lost to DRX in the first round of the stage.
The 0-2 loss, however, looks worse on paper than it was. ONSIDE GAMING played much better than expected against the improved DRX, taking 10 rounds on Lotus and eight on Sunset. Ray, in particular, had a strong showing, posting the server’s second-highest rating of 1.23.
While a loss is a loss, ONSIDE showed many good things, including strong firepower and good decision-making – two things Team Secret lack.

Verdict
Team Secret are a VCT squad, but that proves very little, as they’ve been one of the worst squads of VCT Pacific Stage 2 and have shown no improvement since the end of the group stage.
ONSIDE GAMING are a Challenger team, which by default puts a question mark above them and their chances to challenge a VCT squad. However, against DRX, ONSIDE proved they have the tools to do just that.
If ONSIDE can play as well as they did against DRX, a victory on Wednesday should be theirs.
