Apart from VG, no team is set and moreover, no team will have less than two changes when the dust settles. The current situation is very volatile and the catalyst for everything is Tongfu. Tongfu: Hao and Mu are both actively looking, with Mu very keen to settle in Shanghai. Hao looks to be iG's first-choice replacement with DK next in line. Mu meanwhile looks almost certain to join RisingStars, as replacement for Air, with KingJ also speculated to form a formidable trio with Xiaotuji. This leaves Banana as a very interesting support piece, particularly for DK if they don't land their man in Chuan. As for Tongfu's future if all this goes as expected? Very bleak. iG: Contrary to some reports, their team is far from confirmed even if Hao lands as expected. Rumor still surrounds Chuan and there's a minuscule chance 430 could end up trading places with Mushi in DK. I'm predicting Chuan will leave and with that, Sansheng to come in. DK: Insiders have all but confirmed the triumvirate of Burning, Mushi and LaNm (who is currently at their Yunnan base). Their other moves will depend how the Hao-iG rumor plays out which would likely see them targeting Sylar and less likely, Zhou. The final piece will depend on Chuan's choice and if that falls through, Sydm and Banana could be good fits. LGD: Xiao8, in Shanghai, has expressed there's a chance they may target Zhou to replace Sylar. Chances of Hao slipping through are slim at best and the only other rumors are of proteges Cty or Maybe getting a run. While this seems the most obvious need, when Tongfu blows up, I would expect them to make serious enquiries about Sansheng and Banana to re-invigorate the team. RisingStars: The big winners of all this. Very straight-forward in all their dealings so far, they are odds-on favorite to feast off Tongfu in the upcoming shakeup with Mu and KingJ very much in their sights. With Xiaotuji and Super, this forms a very formidable core to build on. Again, everything is conjecture built around various Chinese sources and some insider info but if one thing is for sure, it's that Zhou's departure is nothing compared to what's coming around the corner with Tongfu. | ||

Speculations =) Mu and KingJ to RisingStars is not a done deal, far from it. | ||

My predictions for iG was wrong (I presumed this would have been the easy prediction) but my Tong Fu analysis is looking spot on. So LGD I expect Sylar to move but wouldn't be surprised if DK were to let Burning slide either. It anything I'm almost positive Burning will not remain on a 1 position. DK's roster might be the hardest to predict. Seriously if you really think about it, nothing at all is solidified when it comes to what will happen with DK. | ||

Hello everybody! Long time no see. How have you been? We visited our Facebook pages a few days ago and saw more than 120 private messages so we thought that giving you some updates about our team would be a good idea. We read a lot of rumors on the Chinese websites, we don't know about the western websites but many many rumors are not true. Our team will undergo some roster changes. We won't say who will leave/join because nothing is confirmed yet, but we can assure you that our team will still be strong. We need you to wait for our official announcement. Thanks very much. PS: After reading so many messages of encouragement, we will use Facebook and maybe Twitter? (we are not familiar with Twitter yet) again. Before TI3, we didn't feel that our page was necessary, but after the event, so many fans contacted us and congratulated us so we feel that we should update our fans outside of China. Expect more from us. | ||

I dont know all that about Chinese teams, but IG and LGD seem like the wealthiest teams over there, with DK lurking in the same region, those three are historically also the three biggest chinese teams in Dota2. Im very happy RisingStars looks to make good aquisitions tho ;-) PS: Chinese scene pros: What happened to all the Cty fanboys? And is he not looked upon as the biggest rising star anymore, as noone looks to be interested in him? | ||

Expect more from us. Good to hear that TongFu is reaching out more to the fans. Always a good thing  . Also congrats on the TI3 performance About DK, I literally have 0 clue about who are the supports gonna be, since the support players currently available is, well, almost no one. Lamn ? Then who else ? For mid, I prefer Cty more than Mushi, even though the later seems more likely. Also I hope that Burning will remain on 1 position, cause you know, it's Burning, and he never slump on that role like, ever. But then there is absolutely no one available for the offlane right now ... | ||

They can't get BurNIng, they've tried though. So no, money is not everything even if you're iG. | ||

I think Zhou is still world-class player, he just got tired of carry role, therefore it's unlikely he would land at LGD. If I were LGD, I would take CTY while he is still aviable. I might be wrong about DK... but I don't think we will see a Dream Team. | ||

They asked if Dream 4 player team will has any change, there are no replies. Far seer said that DK new line-up definitely had the abilities to win championship again and that it will not disappoint the fans. ( more star power?) Zhuai asked if Mushi and Lamn(I am not sure if Lamn is 国士) is joining DK and Far seer gave a smile face. Far seer said Tongfu is having a full shuffle ( I guess everyone in the team are sought out). He said only VG roster are ready among the Chinese team and mentioned that there will not be any new players( pub star?) joining DK. The rest of the informations are not as relevant or already known. | ||
