Team Secret have announced their return to Counter-Strike with the signing of the European roster known as m1x.

The European team have finally found an organisation to represent after making strides in the scene in recent months, even jumping to 43rd in the rankings after competing in the online portion of ECS Week 8.

Secret are no strangers to Counter-Strike, though this is the first time that the famed Dota 2 organisation has signed a men's team.

"While only having spent a very short time together, this squad has shown the potential to become one of the greats on the scene, and we look forward to putting all of our organization’s resources around them in their development."

Flatron "⁠juanflatroo⁠" Halimi
Dionis "⁠sinnopsyy⁠" Budeci
