The rumours have been confirmed by B-God himself. Xu "BurNIng" stated on stream that he will be coming out of retirement to play for Invictus Gaming full-time. The former DK legend also hinted at RoTk joining CDEC and Xiao8 making a return to LGD, which would mean the end of Big God and the rebirth of the LGD trio. Could it be true?

According to Chinese website 178.com it will be support player cn Li "ChisBug" Chen that will make way for BurNinG, meaning at least one player will have to adjust to a new role given that it leaves Invictus Gaming with two position 1 players.

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.

There has yet to come any talk of roster changes at Vici Gaming or Newbee, but it is still early days with Chinese New Year not starting until Thursday 19th February. Stay tuned for more updates on what should prove to be yet another remarkable Chinese New Year reshuffle.

Which other teams do you think will reshuffle?
