Unconfirmed rumours
Invictus Gaming
It is possible that ChuaN is leaving iG for banana. It is unknown where Chuan will be heading to but it is highly possible that he will be going to Orange.
>> GoDz dropping hints at iG's new line-up
Invasion-MUFC
Invasion-MUFC's performance at the tournament was overwhelmingly disappointing and it is no surprise WinteR stated that he will take a long break to think about what he wants to do in the future. MUFC's management has stated that the team will undergo some heavy roster changes after the players sort out the details. We are expecting Invasion-MUFC to only retain 1-2 players from their current squad, most possibly WinteR (assuming he continues) and TFG.
>> MUFC will undergo huge roster changes
Mousesports
Black has departed to China to play for LGD.Int while FATA- is likely to join the new Flipside.Quantic team. The rest of thee squad is in limbo as to continue staying in Mousesports. Uebelst Gaming also disbanded and that may mean something for the German squad.
Evil Geniuses
"F D J U M" is the hint Fear gave of his new team before he deleted the tweet. Bdiz is most possibly leaving the team and he will be replaced by Universe and MSS.
>> DotaLeaks claiming Brax and MSS to EG

>> Bamboe now an unofficial free agent.
Quantic Gaming ( / mouz / Flip.sid3 )

Currently there is a confusing mix of Quantic, mousesports and Flip.Sid3 trying together in whichever tournament one of the three teams is playing in; 7ckngMad, Sockshka, miGGel, MaNia and FATA-.

>> Korok not in Team Liquid's Dota 2 profile
>> Korok playing for Dignitas in MLG Fall
Team Dignitas
Besides the removal of Sneyking, Universe is speculated to leave Dignitas to form a new team with Fear. If true, this new team would most probably be under EG's sponsorship. AUI_2000 seems to be playing for Kaipi. Dignitas have a new roster in MLG Fall
>> EternalEnvy tweet about AUI_2000
