August 5, 2014

Earlier this year the Chinese scene underwent a roster shuffle in preparation for the International 2014. One of the retirements coming out of the shuffle was Chen 'Zhou' Yao who said his time playing professional Dota was done. Shortly after Zhou vouched to remain in the esports scene and took up casting with the help of ZippO and LongDD.

Fast forward to today and Zhou has announced a comeback on his Weibo page in the form of a new nameless team put together in order to compete in the upcoming i-league tournament.

Zhou has stated that this new team is just for fun and has reached out to the community for help in naming the squad.

"We are a for fun team, as long as everyone has fun then it's good... any fans want to help think of a team name for us, one that suits us?"

Unsurprisingly a number of other retired veterans will be joining Zhou in his quest including his close casting partner Huang 'LongDD' Xiang along with Invictus Gaming's recently retired Jiang 'YYF' Cen who left the team shortly after the International 2014 and LGD-Gaming's coach Zou '820' Yitian.

Featured on the team will also be CIS-GAME's Lin 'June' Shiyang who according to CIS-GAME`s Weibo post is still part of their team but will be joining Zhou in order to gain some experience and give him a chance to play in i-league.
