Team Secret are the third and the last invited team to ESL One Manila, ahead of them EHOME and Team Liquid were confirmed for the event.

When the invites were handled, in January this year, Team Secret along with Evil Geniuses declined the organizers for various reasons.

The addition of the double elimination group stage might have had an important role in Secret’s change of heart towards the tournament. This Secret appearance at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines will mark Clement 'Puppey' Ivanov’s fifth participation at ESL One LANs.

A total of eight teams will head to Manila in April to compete for the $250,000 prize pool money.

ESL One Manila participating teams:

China EHOME
Europe Team Liquid
Europe Team Secret
SEA qualified team 1
SEA qualified team 2
Philippines qualified team
America qualified team
Europe qualified team

All eight participating teams will be split in two groups of four and they will play each other in the double elimination group stage one day before the main event on April 22, to determine upper and lower bracket seeds for the single elimination bracket. The games taking place on Friday, April 22 will not be played at the Mall of Asia Arena but we will be able to watch them on Twitch, casted by the yet to be announced broadcast team.

ESL One Manila schedule:

Friday, April 22: Initial Matches + Winners’ Matches
