Puppey

Clement Ivanov (born 6 March 1990),[1] better known as Puppey, is an Estonian professional Dota 2 player for Team Secret.

[2] Together with Natus Vincere, Puppey won The International 2011 in August 2011 for a one million dollar first place prize.

[5] Puppey started his first steps into the DotA 2 competitive scene with Natus Vincere among players such as Dendi and Artstyle, as they competed in The International 2011.

[10] In both of these tournaments, he demonstrated fantastic prediction with the hero Chen's ability to send his teammates back to base.

[20] After a loss in a series against Alliance, Puppey and his new team consisting of him, Fly, N0tail, KuroKy and s4, went on to achieve second place in their first tournament Starladder Season 10.

[24] Following TI5, the team underwent heavy drama between Kuro 'KuroKy' S. Takhasomi and Artour 'Arteezy' Babaev, which started with Arteezy indirectly blaming the loss at The International on KuroKy while streaming on Twitch[25] and KuroKy responding and flaming Arteezy in German forums.

Team Secret ranked fourth in the Dota Pro Circuit standings for the season, giving Puppey a direct invitation to The International 2018.

Their performance during the season led to a first-place finish in the Dota Pro Circuit standings and an invitation to The International 2019.

[38] Puppey and Team Secret sat out of the first major cycle of the 2019-2020 Dota Pro Circuit season but returned for the second.

[41] Puppey and Team Secret remained in action in online events for the remainder of 2020, including winning eight tournaments in a row.

The 2022 Dota Pro Circuit season saw Puppey and Team Secret fail to qualify for any of the year's three majors, placing fifth in each European regional league tour.

Despite that strong performance, Team Secret started the following season with a last-place finish in the DPC's first Western Europea League tour.

[48] Later that day, another former player, MiSeRy, released a blog raising similar issues, and claiming Secret did not pay him until he asked several times.
