PLT's transfer from EHOME to iG.Y has been cancelled due to "small details" regarding the transfer which the two sides could not agree upon. With this failed attempt to recruit PLT as their fifth and final player, iG.Y allegedly turned their attentions to PanDa DotA's newest player, beNz. This caused quite an uproar in the scene and Nekomata, manager of PanDa's DotA team went as far as to question iG's sense of morality, at the same time taking a dig at them for their disqualification from G-League.
iG's response (directed at Nekomata through microblog):
"Firstly, we approached PanDa DotA's officials before the player himself, and we are currently discussing this matter. Secondly, we did not break any rules of G-League, you are not part of the organisational commitee nor a sponsor, our disqualification has nothing to do with you."
It has been a dramatic few days in DotA indeed. Even with PLT officially staying in EHOME, it seems that winds of change are still strong. EHOME welcomed PLT back into the team, but at the same time dropped a bombshell by announcing the imminent arrival of a new player who has no professional background. Sources seem to point to EHOME.FCB, as the player being replaced.
Nirvana China also filled up the remaining empty spot in their roster, left there by Kssss' departure, with former WE player xiaoGuai. Team manager insence confirmed that as of the 1st of September, KingJ and xiaoGuai were officially Nv.Cn players. xiaoGuai is certainly no new-comer with experience in the scene dating back to his WE days together with xiaoluo.

The duo Awoke and Faith, who reportedly cost the Invictus Gaming organisation a whooping 160k RMB (approx 25k USD), DD and Hao have been replaced by new members who are fresh faces on the scene.

"...We wish for the entire DotA community so follow and support the new TyLoo. TyLoo will continue to nurture new talents in e-sports and use outstanding results and successes to repay everyone's undying support and commitment. Your suport is TyLoo's greatest driving force..."
It remains to be seen if the new TyLoo can reach the heights of his predecessor and it will be interesting to see how this new line-up handle the stresses of being professional DotA players.
