Alliance won the Dreamleague season 12 after they signed the new stack captained by Adrian “Fata” Trinks. They also stomped the old line-up that has just been picked up by Team Liquid.

J.Storm

Joel Mori “MoOz” Ozambela joins to complete the roster after Sivatheeban “1437” Sivanathapillai got married this fall and left. Clinton “Fear” Loomis will now move to position five and will be leading the roster.

Carlo ‘Kuku’ Palad will be playing for GeekFam after he left Team TNC predator. Joining him will be Marc Polo Luis “Raven” Fausto, Kenny “Xepher” Deo, Kim “DuBu” Doo-young and Eric “Ryoya” Dong.

Team Newbee

Zeng “Faith” Hongda joins Newbee. The roster is now complete.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

Saahil “Universe” Arora is back in action. He joins former teammate Peter “ppd” Dager who is heading the team. It will definitely be a treat to watch TI5 winners slugging it out along with three new rising stars.

Vici Gaming

Han “pyw” Xiong who played for Team Serenity in TI8 will replace Pan ”Fade” Yi.

Also, Zhang “Paparazi” Chengjun changed his player name; he’s is going to be called “Eurus” from now.

The roster members now are Cheng “vtFaded” Jia Hao, Tang “897” Zhirui, Zhang “Faith Bian” Ruida, Zhao “XinQ” Zixing; headed by Zhang “y`” Yiping who will be the captain.

Forev leaves T1 to join Team Jinesbrus

The Korean organization T1 announced its venture into Dota 2 along with its first member Lee “Forev” Sang-don during TI9.

After that nothing else was announced, so it looks like their only player signed left the team or they might be planning to sponsor Team Jinesbrus. Either way, they would be a competitive roster to have eyes on.

Quincy Crew

Sumail “Sumail” Syed Hassan left Evil Geniuses to play alongside his brother Yawar “Yawar” Hassan on Team Quincy Crew. But after a brief stint, he was released due to “fit issues” and unspecified legal troubles.

The current lineup consists of Quinn “CCnC” Callahan, Avery “SVG” Silverman, Yawar “Yawar” Hassan, Arif “MSS” Anwar and Jonáš “SabeRLight-” Volek.

Virtus.pro

After Roman “Ramzes” Kushnarev and Pavel “9Pasha” Khvastunov left Virtus Pro, Vladimir “No[o]ne” Minenko decided to stick with the Polar Bears along with Alexey “Solo” Berezin. Virtus Pro then announced that two new players namely Roman “Resolut1ion” Fominok and a new super-talent will join them.

Vitalie “Save-” Melnic will join as a stand-in for the Russian powerhouse and replace Vladimir “Rodjer” Nikogosyan who left the team. This completes the roster for now.

KheZu plays for GODSENT

The German offlaner Maurice “KheZu” Gutmann who had played alongside Lasse “MATUMBAMAN” Urpalainen in TI9 on Team Chaos Esports club has found a new team. He’ll join GODSENT with Jerry “EGM” Lundkvist and Charlie “Charlie” Arat.
