General DiscussionPost Shanghai Major Shuffle - Chinese Teams

[OFFICIAL]°- xiao8 (Puppey of East, TI4 winning Captain with Newbee) is returning to pro scene with LGD.

[OFFICIAL]°- Sylar leaves LGD, Agressif joins LGD.

* iceiceice leaving Vici Gaming, joining LGD.

* Super retiring, Cty joining Vici as Super's replacement.

* Hao will decide by the end of Shuffle whether he retires or want to continue.

[OFFICIAL]° - fy leaving Vici Gaming and joining Vici Gaming Potential with zyf.

wat the

Can you also give the sources for the official ones?

On xiao8 and LGD news, it's Old Eleven's profile. On fy leaving Vici, rotk because rotk joining Vici to unite with Burning again. If nothing changes, teams will confirm next week. Vici's manager also said that fy will leave on his own accord.

RIP Chinese scene they all suck.

Holy crap, LGD will get Agressif/xiao8/iceiceice? Damn

And VG P looks promising

* New Vici Gaming roster:
1. Burning
2. Cty
3. RotK
4. Kaka
5. Fenrir

@Pilot: that's what I'm reading. I would had preferred Sylar to remain in LGD since xiao8 and iceiceice potentially sealing the deals soon. By the looks of it, Sylar is termless for now. He won't join VG because Burning not leaving and also because doesn't want to play with rotk. I hope Sylar pairs up with Ferrari at IG.

June, September, Sccc, and probably Inflame may get chances for big teams before ti.

Zyf and Fy have been wanting to play together since ti5. Also, fy wants to practice captaincy in lesser pressure and low-expectation environment. I actually see VG Potential doing better than VG in coming months. Lol.

* iceiceice also linked with EHome along with Fenrir. Depends on whether xiao8 would opt for offlane role at LGD himself or take position 4 support.

* DDC opting for retirement.

* EHome:

1. Old Eleven / Old Chicken
2. Old Chicken / iceiceice
3. Old Eleven / iceiceice
4. LaNm
5. fenrir

* LGD:
1. Agressif
2. Maybe
3. Xz / iceiceice
4. xiao8
5. MMY

[OFFICIAL]° -

EHome
LaNm, Old Eleven, Old Chicken, iceiceice, Fenrir

(source)

I hope icex3 isn't a 4. It would just be a waste.

Positions are not confirmed. I think, it will be like this:

1. Old Chicken / Old Eleven
2. Iceiceice / Old Chicken
3. Old Eleven / iceiceice
4. LaNm
5. Fenrir

If they're trying anything different than this, they may have their reason but that would probably change either in to act of genius or complete poop-show.

IG Facebook:
"Calm before storm."

*Sylar may join CDEC (who may nor afford his contract unless Sylar opts for paycut) or may join IG (whose owner wants to invest money and improve IG after 2 years of passing interest in the team).

iG is a lost cause at this point. Only Ferrari is left and he seems to have lost all his motivation.

Ehome is:

1. LaNm
2. Chicken
3. Eleven
4. Ice x3
5. Fenrir

Written in order of positions. So LaNm as carry and captain also, and iceiceice as 4. This is official and confirmed.

^ thanks.

@sam: If Sylar comes in to IG's fold, that may serve as a point of revival of IG and source of enough motivation for Ferrari. Everyone in China is inspired around TI time. But, Ferrari already has Aegis. Winning it second time can also be a turning point for him.

I want this Sylar to IG so bad now. Ferrari deserves all the best things in this world.

* Kaka's stream: would prefer CDEC.YOUNTH over VG (what's he smoking?) because VG will be stressful for him, apparently.
(then they ask why don't we see young players in Chinese teams.)

*Old Boy's DD: Sylar may prefer Newbee.Young and pair up with Sccc (one of the best Chinese mid).

[Official]° CDEC.Y's Demon weibo-post: would leave CDEC.YOUNTH this shuffle period. CDEC.YOUNTH's JUNE will follow him wherever he goes.

CDEC:

Out of all these teams, VG.Reborn is the best. They are 1st place in the H-cup and are 2 matches away from qualifying for ESL Manila. They just spanked r0tk's VG so hard yesterday...it's pretty clear fy is actually in charge of VG's Tier 1 team. R0tk VG = VG.Dead.

Just watched iG today against Tier 2 Chinese teams. 430 should retire like BurNing and r0tk, his invoker looks worse than Dendi's and he had to be carried by qd and Xxs.

xiao8's LGD were destroyed by CDEC.A, 2-0 in qualifiers for ESL Manila. Rumor has it CDEC.A's captain is (or was recently) 3k MMR...but xiao8 may need time to have full team chemistry. At least xiao8 has a brain....

I'd say the second best team right now is Wings. Don't forget these guys won their group in WCA and placed 4th in that tournament (sure, they were totally destroyed by Alliance and LIquid, but their core Veno and fast push against iG.V today is the kind drafting China needs...not r0tk + BurNing "4p1" feeder bullshit).

VG with iceiceice + black was best VG chance. DK during TI4 was their best chance. Old Boys/Old Man team was the best chinese 5 stack. Now they are tier 3/4 team now right behind russia and peru.

chinese players need to be humble, learn to actually play the game, stop being lazy and streaming rubbish matches before they can even be taken seriously.
