Sai strengthens ieS as a rented player from iNow

ieS Virtual Gaming girds up its loins for WC3L by adding a strong Chinese player, Chenglong 'Sai' Zhou, to its roster. The Night Elf has joined the WC3L squad of the ieS together with his Human country mate player Shijie 'DreAm' Zhu, just after the Finnish Orc 'Naama' left the Bundesliga squad to play for iG.

After being released by mousesports, 'Sai' got picked up by the Chinese team iNow. Now the Swiss-based team borrowed him to play only on online leagues such as WC3L, NGL and WCIP. This said, the new recruit will play under the iNow tag in the LAN events he takes part in since his tranfer is a result of a loan arrangement between the two teams.

>> Statement by Polezhaev "ieS.SlayeR" Nikolay:

"We are glad that one of the best worlds' elves joined us, Sai gave us chance to pass the group stage at WC3L season XVI, because he is great player, whom can beat such machines as mouz.fly100 and world elite guys. We tested him and he won our team without any problems. We were excited of his impressive skills, which we didnt see when he was in teams like wNv and mouz. As for now, our main purpose is to find a playable hosts for Sai and to concentrate on practice before WC3Ls' start."

>> Statement by ieS manager - Eugene "SkYG" Serov:

After yesterday's announcement about to Sai's joining, some rumours appeared. And we want make some sense in this situation. Sai has joined ieS Virtual Gaming as rented player and he will participate only in the euro leagues for us. It remains that Sai is still member of iNow, and he will play LAN tournaments for them.
