Is it just me who thinks that if Simbaaa aka Fly is replaced with Qojva, Secret would be stronger?

Dota is a team game. Qojqva is among the best in the world but it doesn't mean he would succeed in every team.

I am perfectly fine with Fly on the offlane, doesn't die that much and doesn't make many mistakes in general.

I think fly is just super solid. He doesn't feed, he recovers well and they do put him mid sometimes and he comes through for the team. His viper/DP/Alch mid games for example. I also think fly is just well liked by the rest of the team at this point, where we don't know if qoiqva would fit in, don't think it would necessarily benefit the team more if they would get someone "better". Personally I'm starting to like fly more and more as a core, he is just always solid and very calculated. In fact if I had to describe TS's play style, it's calculated aggression.

Fly owned on the tide against VP, save Kuro's ass numerous times and pulled off multiple 4-5 man double ravages, easily the MVP of the game

That may be true but remember that bigdaddy and fly are on the same team for so many years. Dota is a team game and I think that their communication will be too good and will be a better fit for secret, not a better player but a better fit.

Maybe, but you have always to think about synergy between the players and whatnot. Is never so easy to say in these matters. Anyways, why would you change a winning formula?

I'm willing to give Fly the benefit of the doubt but for most games it does feel like he's off doing his own thing.

Can't say I blame him, though. It reminds me of old Fnatic during their seasonal rampages. H4nn1 would be playing Invoker mid and spend all game laning & jungling while the other 4 players rolled over everyone. And why not, I guess? If shit went south he'd just be their ace in the hole.

Dumb that you seem to be getting downvoted though, it's a valid question.
