[Update] rOtK hints the beginning of the Chinese reshuffle

 rOtK hints the beginning of the Chinese reshuffle and his possible departure from LGD.

-update-

March 6th: Vici Gaming's Manager commented on a Weibo saying, "there will be adjustments, but Burning is staying with VG."

LGD Gaming's captain Bai 'rOtK' Fan posted on his weibo hinting his possible departure from LGD.

Translation of the Weibo:

I will regroup with my old friends and return to where we started. In order to reach our goals we have to remember our promises at the beginning. I want to apologize to the fans of LGD for the disappointment we've shown in the past six months. Everyone is flaming me and telling me to retire, but I still really want to play professionally, which is why I'm going to continue my journey. Chinese Dota and my Dota is still alive.

LGD's performance along with other Chinese teams at the Shanghai Major have been disappointing to say the least. Many Chinese fans have taken the liberty of blaming LGD's downfall on rOtK because of his predictable drafts. With the huge outburst by the Chinese community, rOtK's response was anticipated.

While everything is still in speculation, this post by rOtK could hint the return of Big God that competed in the Dota 2 Asia Championships early last year. This could also hint the return of one of the most influential captains in Dota 2 history - Xiao8. After his departure from LGD, Xiao8 has been focusing on his streaming career at Douyu and has shown no indication of returning to the professional scene. Does this statement also imply the departure of Burning from Vici Gaming and LaNm from EHOME respectively? At this moment everything is still uncertain, but this Weibo definitely foreshadows start of the next Chinese reshuffle.
