DK and iG to play with a total of four stand-ins in WPC tomorrow

The Dota 2 ACE Alliance announced that, due to DK and iG players needing more time to complete visa arrangements for their upcoming trips to Kiev, the two teams will be playing with a total of four stand-ins between them tomorrow.

For the day, iG is picking up Sansheng, currently contracted under TongFu, ostensibly to replace ChuaN. On DK's end, they'll be picking up a trio of new Speed Gaming.cn players or largely unknown identity -- their IDs are Jdh, Zy, and Zrd -- to replace what looks like iceiceice, Mushi, and LaNm. Certainly no small shoes to fill in DK's case.

As a sidenote, some fans have asked why DK haven't approached the likes of 357, 820, or even LongDD to fill in temporarily. On the surface it looks like a good idea and even sounds like a way for old EHOME to make a one-day reunion, but alas, the ACE regulations stipulate that inactive players that aren't registered officially aren't eligible to represent teams in official competitions.

The two teams will both be facing Titan, who got off to a decent start in WPC this season before two rough days against the other top teams of the competition. With three stand-ins in key positions, DK will have a challenge ahead, while iG will likely have things easier as Sansheng is very familiar to all of their players.
