Every year after teams fail to make it to TI we see the inevitable roster shuffle begin. Instead of making a post about every single roster move we've decided to consolidate them all here.

+ Show Spoiler [Empire] +

Fn Leaves Empire
Ghostik Leaves Empire.

+ Show Spoiler [Kinguin] +

Kinguin releases its Dota 2 roster, they will continue playing together.

+ Show Spoiler [IG.Vitality] +

Meracle leaves and joins Team Resurgence.

+ Show Spoiler [Gambit] +

Gambit releases its Dota 2 roster, plans to announce a new team at a later date.

Isn't this a bit too early? 37 Days until TI and then the whole TI and only then a roster shuffle?
edit: reading fail on my part, it's not only a post-TI thread...

There've been a pretty good number of rumours surrounding LFY and EHOME since neither made it to TI8. Wonder what's going to happen there...

Probably also worth mentioning that there's definitely going to be some machinations when it comes to team ownership given the new rules for next year's DPC season.

Also it is past the qualifiers ... some decisions are already made for teams based on missing to qualify.

Not nearly as exciting as post-TI shuffle thread.

Think meracle could have waited for better offers. He just needs that 1 breakthrough

Am I a bad Swede if I actually would like to see miCKe join OG?

Qupe left LOTV, (Waga's team). He is been one of, if not the, most impressive player in that roster since adamsson left earlier to join singularity. Interested to see if he moves into one of the more established teams next. He is a pos 4 player as well, not something the scene is full of when you go away from the bigger orgs that form the tier 1 and 2 competetition.

The team was one or two series away from qualifying to the Supermajor but besides that they've been a somewhat steady presence in the EU tier 3ish scene, making to some EU main qualifiers through open quals and even an invite to one or two I think.

If the ex-Kinguin guys keep playing at a decent level I'd guess they get picked up pretty quickly.

Not until next major qualifiers probably, but yeah i agree, they improved, they need more but they improved.
