*Nirvana.cn closing an MSI sponsorship deal.
Plagued by a series of defeats to mid-tier Chinese teams, not to mention the top teams, Nirvana.cn has underwent huge roster changes.
The WDC champions of 2010 were seen as strong contenders for the title of best team of 2010, and indeed, they did prove they were not to be underestimated by being the only team to win an official game over EHOME during SMM 2010.
During the great Chinese reshuffle, the departure of Zhou and YaphetS to CCM and DK respectively was a heavy blow to the team under Loveen's sponsorship, an organization now known as OK.Nirvana after the company merger.
Now, it looks like Nirvana.cn is once again unsatisfied with its roster. It started with the dismissal of seasoned support player DGC, known internationally for his Enigma. Then, former Nirvana.cn player Insence announced his return, but this time, filling in the role of manager instead.
Next, ex-Dream players xiaoD and 1821 expressed that they would be joining Nirvana.cn, followed by a report on sgamer that DK's captain Ksssssss had left and went to Nirvana.cn as well. As if it were not enough, at the same time, star carry Seaking confirmed that he would be joining Nirvana.cn along with Yueru.
With now a nine-man roster, it was then announced that Nirvana.cn's original carry Hao and solo mid Crystal was leaving the team, the former making his way to TyLoo and the latter, as it was made known recently, would fill in for LongDD in EHOME after he got dismissed.
Seen by many as a sub par team after the departure of Zhou and YaphetS and their subsequent performances in both online and offline tournaments, the roster changes bring new hope for the declining team.
The question now, would be: Will this new seven-man roster restore Nirvana.cn to its former glory? Or, will we see more players leaving until we are down to only five?
Current roster:
Insence (manager) Seaking Yueru (a.k.a Super) Ksssssss xiAo_D 1821 Banana (a.k.a HY) NeoLinks
