B-God: RotK to CDEC, Xiao8 return to LGD?
TI4 winner Xiao8 could return to former team LGD Gaming
As for his former team-mates in Big GoD, BurNinG commented that RotK may head to CDEC, despite Vici Gaming's Black commenting last week that he believed RoTK was done with the competitive scene. CDEC didn't manage to reach the main stage of DAC but they shown a lot of potential, especially at the end of 2014, and would look TI5-ready if RotK were to join them.

Xiao8 on the other hand played from LGD Gaming before, and his departure to Newbee just over a year ago cost his new team over $81,000. Xiao8 retired shortly after Newbee won TI4 to become a commentator, but during his recent stint in Big God, the offlaner publically stated his interest in joining an "official team". Some considered the possibility of him returning to Newbee to replace struggling Rabbit after the team crashed out of DAC before the main event. However, a return home to be re-united with former team-mates Yao and Sylar at LGD Gaming, would seem the safer option.
