Thats what iG was supposed to be (and kinda was last year). Although I'll admit they took like 5 famous 1-3 position players and made 2 of them learn support.

Interesting.
I would imagine DK would disband if Burning didn't play for them?

1) Isn't ACE kind of overseeing Dota transfers in the Chinese scene? Would it even be possible to do that?
2) Wouldn't this hurt the Chinese scene, seeing as one team would completely dominate? I mean, TI is one tournament and it definitely has the biggest prize pool, but there are a lot of other Chinese tournaments (AWC for example) that would be hard to do if one team was completely stacked... it wouldn't make for very interesting tournaments either (of course, this is under the assumption that this team dominates - see point 3).
3) Would this even work? I mean, "dream teams" don't seem to work in many cases because there is a huge emphasis on teamwork, specific drafting and playstyles, etc. - it may turn out that this doesn't work at all...
Obviously I don't know the answers, which is why I'm asking these questions.

That girl ruined xiao8! Rip DK if burning is jumping ship.

I wonder what xiao8 would be doing if he left. Retire? iG?

If Chuan leaves China, he joins Zenith and replaces Xy. There is no place in Orange for him and MUFC is not worth his time.
I'd love to see ChuaN join Zenith. Here's hoping!

Bulba, Get in here and tell me exactly what Yao said!!!! This doesn't play well with other stuff that's publicly floating around. LGD is also a mad rumour mill. BurNing on LGD is really ambitious.

What would the malaysian dream team look like?
Something like Ice3/Mushi/Chuan + 2 I think. Would Chuan play carry and then you just pick up 2 supports? (Net + Xtinct!)

Unfortunately, there is no way that team could stay together for more than 5 minutes.

it was at lunch and asked yao if lgd will change. he said he is not sure whether xiao8 will continue. supposedly xiao8 got a lot of flame by the chinese community for his performance and picks. i asked him what will happen and he said he will probably go back to the 3 role and sylar might play mid or continue playing carry. i heard ig wants burning as well possibly but xiao8 was extremely depressed.

Ice³ is from Singapore

Fair enough. Icex3 and mushi seemed to have a lot of respect for each other but I could see them not playing well together. Dunno about the other's history together.
E: whoops forgot Ice3 is from Singapore.

You could replace A and B with C and D & the results would still be the same in terms of what they accomplish. Marketing them on the other hand... a little bit different. Until we find a way to clone Fear, the NA scene will always be in turmoil.
This.

EG just needs to abduct 5 children that fear can imprint on for the next 10 years. #RoadtoTI14 and all that

Can you please give us the inside scoop on Team Liquid. Tell me at least you are staying put.

I believe icex3 once said on stream he had considered joining orange before TI3. I think he can handle mushi. Chuan, on the other hand, is a former TI3 winner. Can he set aside his ego to play under a dominant leader like mushi?
