After a spectacular two years run in iG, Zhou has been removed from the team due to underperformance in the past few months. Hao is rumoured to be replacing him.
According to a tweet Yao 'Zhou' Chen posted on Weibo, he has been removed from the team due to his poor performance throughout the months leading to The International 3.The statement below is translated by Shouperman on our forums.
This year I have not been on form. iG e-sport club's decision to replace me was expected. I hope the club will run smoothly in the future, I wish my old team mates to keep on fighting. Right now I want to prove that my past 7 appearance on WC3 DotA loading screen was not a surprise and 27 champions was not just luck.
Zhi Hao 'Hao' Chen is rumoured to be Zhou's replacement and despite rumours of him and Zhang 'Mu' Pan being scouted by an anonymous businessman, the TongFu duo is unlikely to be joining the same team. Mu is rumoured to be replacing Air in Rising Stars.
At the same time, Hock Chuan 'ChuaN' Wong is also rumoured to be leaving iG for DK.
iG's official roster:
Fei Chi 'Ferrari_430' Luo
