During today’s stream on huomaotv, Chen 'Cty' Tianyu, former EHOME member, broke the news of him joining Vici Gaming.
The Shanghai Major after-match shuffle comes with huge moves in the Chinese scene, which should not be exactly surprising given their catastrophic failure in terms of team performances at the recently ended event.
After EHOME was first to announce the acquisition of the all time Vici Gaming support player Lu 'Fenrir' Chao, now it’s their ex carry, Chen 'Cty' Tianyu's time to make his own announcement via his stream. Firstly he changed his name on huomaotv to vg.cty and he revealed the information of him joining VG during a voice chat conversation with Xu 'BurNing' Zhilei, later on they were joined by Bai 'rOtk' Fan, currently listed as a LGD Gaming member.
While still in Shanghai, rOtK made a weibo post on 5th of March stating the following:
Judging by this statement corroborated with the small chat he had with BurNIng and Cty, the “old friends” should be Vici Gaming, the organisation with which he reached second place at The International 4, the highest placement at a Valve event in his entire career.
However, neither Vici Gaming nor LGD Gaming released any sort of official statements for the Spring Shuffle.
