After replacing  Nirvana.MSI, the Dota 2 team  Evil Geniuses have been officially ruled out of The Premier League because of “bad and unprofessional attitude”, as the report on the official TPL facebook page claims. 

EG player  Jacob ‘Maelk’ Toft-Anderson, however, states that the team meant to leave the league anyway, due to not being able to cope with the tight schedule and has also higlighted the factor of playing on US West hosts.

In order to establish itself as a serious and a professional league, as the report reads, The Premier League management has decided, based on the public poll on their facebook page, to drop EG from the league and replace them with an American team who have been doing very well in Dota 2 thus far,  Fire.

In the past week we have brought you news of the disbandment of two former powerhouses in chinese DotA; Nirvana.cn and TyLoo. With WE also officially replacing Crystal with XiaoLuo, this has left quite a number of free agents in the scene.

Born from the ashes of the teams which have fallen, we have confirmation of the birth of a new team. In an official annoucement on SGamer, Crystal, 357, KingJ, Dai as well as Awoke are actively seeking sponsors.

Team Roster:
357
KingJ
Dai
Awoke
Crystal

Even with this star-studded lineup it remains to be seen if the team can fill the void left by the disbandment of the traditional strongholds of Chinese DotA. Stay tuned for more updates regarding their quest for sponsors.

Yin Qi “xiaoluo” Luo, who was a stand-in for Evil Geniuses during SMM 2011, has been hand-picked by World Elite to fill the empty spot left after Jia Qi “Crystal” Shen’s exit. This was confirmed yesterday on Replays.net.

World Elite have been playing with Crystal as a stand-in for DreamCup and The Premier League out of cordial relations with his former team mates. As they have now secured their fifth player both parties can look ahead.

Replays.net further spew on the rumours of a new quintet forming when reporting that Crystal wants to instate a team based around the former Nirvana players KingJ, Dai and 357.

With both Nirvana and

As part of promoting Neolution’s new stadium complex, Mushi and Winter have announced that they have been invited by Neolution ESports and will be flying down to Thailand to conduct a series of DotA and Dota 2 workshops from the 22nd to 26th of February.Furthermore, the pair will also run a one week coaching program for the Neolution DotA team to prepare them for the upcoming competitive season. All programs will be hosted at Neolution ESports newly-build stadium (right).

From this, the pair will look to relate what the wealth of experience and knowledge they have amassed throughout their years of competitive play to the Thai gamers, and hopefully this would translate into…

After months of competing in the Chinese scene and almost virtually no achievements to back up their worth, Chinese sponsors TyLoo have decided to release their DotA team.

Remembered for being the birthplace of star carries such as Seaking and Hao (two players who have eventually left on for greater success in Nirvana.cn and PanDa respectively), TyLoo has seen a slump ever since the departure of its core players - a brutal sight caused by countless reshuffles and retirements.

The current roster with Kssssssss () who returned to the scene and immediately assumed leadership of TyLoo unfortunately never found its groove and sat at the bottom tier of the competitive Chinese scene.

Even with GK returning to manage the…

A few days ago, we have seen  SK-Gaming remove its Dota 2 team made of Danes, and just after it was  Nirvana.MSI to stop its activities.

Today, another Chinese team falls as  TyLoo announces its closure due to the players not achieving any good results.

TyLoo used to be a really great team has they happened to beat teams like  LGD which is very respectable. But since the big China DotA Reshuffle in 2011, all players left and made it to an empty roster.  GK, TyLoo’s manager then had to find 5 men to compete under this flag.

Based upon  Kssssss, former  Nirvana.cn player, 4 unknown guys joined in to try to revive the soul of TyLoo. Yet they tried, but the management team of TyLoo was not satisfied at all and decided to remove the complete roster, and even kick the manager.

GK has decided to join an internet company but nobody knows where the players will go to.

Supported by two of Turkey’s largest DotA communities TrDotA.net and oyunguru.com, a LAN event was hosted in Turkey last weekend and a huge turnout was commanded for a $1,000 prize pool. KYE overpowered OldSchool to take home the first place and $450 in cash.

With most of Europe already focusing on Dota 2, it certainly was heartfelt witnessing a strong DotA presence in the heart of Turkey where sixteen teams participated in the tournament and close to a thousand people being part of the excitement.

In the Grand Finals, KYE managed to best their opponents OldSchool two games to one to clinch the championship title - replays of the finals have been made available at our replay database.

For those who missed out the action, check out the…

After the end of the World DotA Championships, rumours spread like wild fire regarding the possibility of Nirvana.cn disbanding. Nv.cn manager insence has confirmed these rumours to be true and indeed Nirvana is no more.

With Nirvana forfeiting one of their recent Premier League games and showing up extremely late for another, the signs were there for those with the keen eye.

Insence:
All this happened quite suddenly, but also made a lot of sense. Regrettably, because of various reasons, the Nirvana organisation has to say goodbye to all our fans and followers. We thank all our players and managers who brought us many highs and excitement these two years. We wish them all the best, as well as all the others in the eSports scene. Good Luck. Good bye.

Last year, in order to put up a fight…
