It was no surprise as Secret has been showing off some of the best forms and is unstoppable. Although Secret lost its first series in the upper bracket and got pushed into the lower bracket, it came back stronger as it finished off the Beyond Epic run of Vikin.gg and Fly To Moon.
Start of the Day
The day started with Secret facing Vikin.gg. A lot of fans including Vikin.gg were expecting revenge as Secret defeated Vikin.gg in the group stages already. It came off as no surprise as Team Secret closed the series with a 2-0 victory over Vikin.gg. Team Secret had a rough start to game 1 as Boom pressured the lanes very fastly with his Broodmother. However, Nisha came out tanky with Tiny and Secret finished the game in just one push. Secret made Vikin.gg call GG in just 29 minutes.
Game 2 favored Secret from the very beginning. Team Secret never lost its lead in the game and closed the series in a 49 minutes thrilling game resulting in Vikin.gg to say goodbye.
Team Secret won the 2nd series at BEYOND EPIC with 2-0 score!

Bad News for Virtus Pro
The second series was between Virtus Pro and Fly to Moon. Once again, Fly to Moon came out stronger as the team beat Virtus Pro in the group stages as well. Fly to Moon closed the series 2-0 and Virtus Pro got eliminated. FTM showed no mercy and dominated the map throughout the games. Virtus Pro called GG in just 30 and 31 minutes for each game. In the game 1, Virtus Pro tried a new strategy by picking up Techies but Fly to Moon responded by selecting Lifestealer as its carry. Similarly, Techies didn’t work for Virtus Pro in the second game as well. Although VP showed classic performance in the recent series by eliminating OG, FTM was just not in VP’s league.
Last Series
The day ended with an amazing series between Team Secret and Fly to Moon. It was Team Secret’s turn to dominate and move forward. Team Secret closed the series with a 2-0 victory over Fly to Moon. Secret showed why it is ranked number 1 and didn’t give a single chance to FTM to come back in any of the games. Team Secret closed both of the games within the 33 minutes mark.
Fight me! ⚔️
This deadly duel is won by @teamsecret, who defeat FTM and advance to the LB finals! ✨📺 https://t.co/VZnt4kwr7v#BeyondEpic pic.twitter.com/A6oVhLhTN9
