Team Secret has parted ways with Matumbaman

Following their third place result at The International 10, the team has made a few changes.
Ben Lyons Senior Editor 16 November 2021

Team Secret has had a pretty great last few weeks. The team recently competed at The International 10, and while they didn't quite win (after being knocked out by Team Spirit who went on to win the whole event), the organisation did achieve a third place finish, netting them over $3.6 million in prize money.

But, despite this success, Team Secret has made a few changes to its roster. A couple of weeks ago, Ludwig "zai" Wåhlberg left the team in favour of competing on Team Liquid's roster, and now Secret has also lost Lasse Aukusti "MATUMBAMAN" Urpalainen.

There's no mention as to where Matumbaman will be going just yet, but as part of the announcement Matumbaman did release a statement.

"Playing with the boys was a blast this past year. I appreciate each and every one of my (former) teammates, and would count each one of them a friend.

Thanks a lot to Team Secret, to Matt the best manager, and to John the best content creator in Esports."

As for who will be joining Team Secret in the place of Zai and Matumbaman, that also remains unannounced as of the moment.
