Rumor: are these really leaked Dota 2 rosters for VG, iG, and LGD?

It’s been a month since The International 2014 (TI4) and while there have been retirement announcements and less serious team reformation, there still haven’t been any official announcements about the major competitive Chinese Dota 2 rosters so far. This is probably why even the slightest hint of a roster change can stir up a lot of discussion.

Recently, Reddit user cecilzly posted a screenshot of what seems to be a text message, which he claims is a leak of Vici Gaming’s (VG), Invictus Gaming’s (iG), and LGD’s new rosters. Cecilzly also doesn’t state who exactly the sender is, but shares that it is sent by “someone who works for [the] Association of Chinese eSports (ACE)”. Take a look at the shared screenshot:

These leaked rosters support the recent claim that MMY is leaving for LGD but contradicts the rumor that Ferrari_430 is going to DK. There have also been rumors that Mushi won’t be going back to China, and “where he will head to next is going to be really interesting”.

Here’s what people on Reddit have to say:

That VG lineup is a dream come true. If this is real. I always thought Chuan would stay with Faith though.

DK is one step from disband after losing so many core players

Really happy for June and Black that they were able to find great teams. Also, iceiceice and Black are going to be great additions, as there were probably very few capable of replacing Sylar and rOtk.

Vici, LGD both looking pretty stacked.
