Biggest winner of the shuffle

The biggest winner of the Asian shuffle is undoubtedly Rising Stars. Rising Stars did not qualify for The International 3 but they joined the post-tournament shuffle and ended up booting four members of their original squad to make way for an all-stars team. With a team filled with veterans and the Chinese solo mid king, all eyes will be on them if the veterans can train XDD and Cty to do their bidding. "Rising Stars" sounds a little inappropriate now, no? The other big winner of the shuffle is DK. However, considering DK was a strong team to begin with, we have to give our hats off to Rising Stars for signing so many stars and successfully turn nothing into something, something strong.

Biggest loser of the shuffle

If the last few days were any indication, Rattlesnake is the biggest loser in this shuffle. Jumbled with contracts and players unsatisfied with their performance at The International 3, the team lost Lanm and Kabu, the two strongest players in the team. Rattlesnake's replacement, Johnny and AllBeautyMustDie, did not perform well in their debut, going 0-4 in their first four games. It was also a questionable decision for Rattlesnake to sign Johnny despite having more options in the Chinese market themselves. Johnny was in the limelight for a short month during his time with Chains Stack but has disappeared from the scene since the team disbanded. He played for a local team called Nara Stacks and the team barely achieved anything internationally. If the real reason is marketing, Rattlesnake made a grievous decision.



Sticky situation for ChuaN

ChuaN was the first Malaysian to taste success playing for a Chinese team and despite his long record of stability, iG replaced him with Banana a few days ago. ChuaN is currently in a sticky situation because all the Chinese teams have finished shuffling while he, on the other hand, is still without a team. Technically, he is still an official member of iG but iG will most probably let him go the second a team buys his contract. A lot of people are stating that ChuaN may be going back to Malaysia to play for a Malaysian team but we will have to wait for further confirmation to see if this is true. ChuaN playing with Orange may not seem like the worst idea but they did lose that one RGN League game against First Departure with him in the team. He was playing carry Mirana that game.
