Everything about betting on Team Secret

Kenyan esports fans sasa have more reasons to celebrate as Team Secret’s rise across Dota 2, VALORANT and more opens up fresh betting action on mobile. With the English Premier League (EPL) and football betting already huge here, esports predictions and betting on your favourite squad – including local heroes like Tribe Gaming and Nairobi Warriors – are becoming the new mambo. Whether you’re topping up via M-Pesa or Airtel Money, this guide shows you why Team Secret is a top pick for esports betting in Kenya.

Team Secret first made headlines by reaching finals in ESL One and The Major in Frankfurt, then landing eighth at The International 2015 – Dota 2’s biggest annual showpiece. These wins helped them claim the title of one of the best Dota 2 squads worldwide. Despite roster changes and drama, Secret dominated again in 2019, lifting the MDL Paris trophy, ESL One Birmingham, the Katowice Major and the Chongqing Majors.

Their secret sauce? A simple ideology: build positive culture, invest in top players and coaches, and back it up with smart promotional deals. This focus has driven global growth, sasa putting Secret on the map from Europe to Southeast Asia.

CS:GO and Beyond

In March 2025, Secret picked up a female Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster, then moved into Street Fighter, Age of Empires 2, Rainbow Six Siege Pro League and more. CEO John Yao – a former strategy consultant – joined in 2017 to tighten finances while co-owner Puppey steered talent management. This pairing kept Team Secret climbing global esports rankings.

Puppey, both captain and coach, knows exactly what players need to perform. Yao handles the KSh side of things with finesse. Together, they’ve grown Secret into a powerhouse across six titles: Dota 2 and Rainbow Six Siege in Europe, and LoL, PUBG Mobile, Wild Rift and VALORANT squads in Southeast Asia. Their past CS:GO and Fortnite ventures also earned solid fan love.

Dota 2 stars Nisha (Michał Jankowski, Poland), Sumail (Sumail Hassan Syed, Pakistan), Iceiceice (Pei Xiang Daryl Koh, Singapore), YapzOr (Yazied Jaradat, Jordan) and captain Puppey (Clement Ivanov, Estonia) form the dream five.

Rainbow Six Siege

Led by Brit Pacbull (Peter Bull), the European lineup includes Hife (Vincent Finkenwirth, Germany), SlebbeN (Alex Nordlund, Finland), Gomfi (Santino de Meulenaere, Belgium) and Keenan (Keenan Dunne, Ireland).

League of Legends

The Vietnamese roster – DNK (Đỗ Ngọc Khải), Eddie (Nghĩa Hoàng), Phi1 (Võ Văn Phi), Nagiya (Nguyễn Võ Anh Hoàng), Simon (Dương Thanh Hoà) and Jerry (Nguyễn Tiến Duy) – brings fast Wild Rift action.

Since day one, Secret piled up wins. In 2015 they claimed ESL One, The Major in Frankfurt, Summit 3 and MarsTV Dota 2 League. Spring saw MLG World Finals, Nanyang Championships and Red Bull Battle Grounds: Dota 2.

2019 was even sweeter: MDL Paris, ESL One Birmingham, Katowice and Chongqing Majors, plus OMEGA League: Europe Immortal, DreamLeague Season 13 and The International 2019. They even snagged DreamLeague Season 14 DPC EU Upper Division and OGA Dota Pit S3 Europe/CIS in 2020.

Performance after shuffles

Post-KL Major 2025, Secret overhauled their roster and still clinched Chongqing and MDL Disneyland Paris Majors. They reached the upper-bracket finals at multiple events, proving they’re never out of contention.

International leagues carry higher variance, so focus on outright bets in smaller tournaments where Secret often dominates. If they face equal or weaker teams, backing them to win the match is a solid play. Always track squad updates to stay ahead—achana na mimi if you miss a key roster change!
