iG is getting a glow-up this season with a full new roster, including NothingToSay and other Chinese and Malaysian veteran players.
China had suffered in the DPC 2022-23 season. They had their first setback with accusations of match-fixing and scripting, resulting in a massive ban across the region. Then only one team, LGD, was directly invited to The International 2023 via DPC points. The region was then again hit with the news they would have only one slot allocated to them through qualifiers.
Teams and players are most likely hungry to change and flip that narrative this year. iG who had taken 5-6th place in the qualifiers is looking at a new star-studded lineup to kick off the new season.
"We welcome the three players Monet, NothingToSay, and xNova to join the iG.DOTA2 family. I hope we can work together in the new season to pursue our common dreams. Welcome JT- and BoBoKa back to iG. We look forward to continuing to see JT-infecting his teammates and the audience with his smile, and we also look forward to seeing the growth of BoBoKa as a player.
The ESL auditions are coming soon, and we will step up preparations to achieve better results in the new season! i
