Secret dispatched J.Storm, while Ninja in Pyjamas (NIP) dealt with Pain Gaming.

Nisha’s Morphing had a net worth of 4399 at the 10-minute mark while Bryle, the mid laner of J.Storm only had a net worth of 2252 at the same time. Nisha out-played Bryle with attribute shift (third skill of Morphing).

In the second game, Secret drafted Terrorblade for Nisha and Rubbick for Yapzor. Nisha once again carried Team Secret toward an easy victory in game 2. Despite losing in net worth and kills at the 30-minute mark. Nisha still got his Sange and Yasha, Ice of Skadi, Dragon Lance and Black King Bar — all of the core items for Terrorblade — at the 34-minute mark.
Nisha even got Rampage and beyond godlike streak on his Terrorblade in the team fight shortly after he got all his core items.

The game was starting to favour Team Secret at the 10-minute mark and as the game went on they more and more control over the map, leaving only Terrorblade from NIP able to farm with his illusions, while four heroes from Team Secret were farming efficiency by utilizing the map vision. NIP finally gave up when when Team Secret took all their barracks and focused on the throne of Dire.
In the game 2 against NIP, Team Secret once again went with the strategy of Nisha’s Terrorbladed and Yapzor’s Rubbick — this ultimately resulted in an even easier win than they had in game 1.

Secret had the game once Nisha got his black king bar and joined every teamfight against NIP. After NIP struggled defending their base for 10 minutes after losing their tier 3 tower, Secret went all-in against NIP after securing Aegis and Cheese. The game ended with Secret having a 27 thousand net worth lead.
