The roster shuffle continues to provide headlines in the Chinese region as PSG.LGD will be looking towards a full rebuild, according to the team’s captain at The International 2022 (TI11) Zhang "y`" Yiping. He stated that he is currently a free agent and has departed the team.
PSG.LGD has had a decent competitive season, as it dominated the regional league in 2022 on top of winning the Riyadh Masters 2022. However, following its 5th-6th place finish at The International 2022 (TI11) the team has decided to undergo roster changes. PSG.LGD’s first changes have already been announced, as it had parted ways with Zhang "Faith_bian" Ruida & Zhao "XinQ" Zixing, with the former retiring from the competitive scene.
Y’ noted that PSG.LGD will be fully rebuilding its roster for the upcoming season
PSG.LGD had a difficult year in 2022, as the team only finished in the top six in The International 2022 (TI11), as opposed to its second place finish at last year’s TI (The International). Additionally, the Chinese organization has already begun to rebuild as it had already parted ways with Zhang "Faith_bian" Ruida & Zhao "XinQ" Zixing, with Faith_bian officially retiring from the competitive scene.
According to Twitter user @Tr1H4rd3rDota2 who has consistently posted updates on the Chinese Dota scene during the off-season, PSG.LGD’s captain Zhang "y`" Yiping confirmed that he is currently a free agent in a recent livestream.
Furthermore, he also provided updates on the remaining members of the team starting with Wang “Ame” Chunyu as the player was heavily rumored to be retiring from the competitive scene as well. However, the TI6 winner stated that Ame will be taking a break for the time being as he wanted to stream for a while before deciding on his future plans.
Additionally, he added on by saying that PSG.LGD might look towards a full rebuild of its roster for 2023 as he is unsure of Cheng “NothingToSay” Jin Xiang’s future within the team, as the Malaysian player is currently on loan from EHOME.
Following the information given by y’, it is safe to assume that PSG.LGD will be fully rebuilding its roster for the upcoming season. However, the organization could also rebuild around NothingToSay should his current loan from EHOME becomes permanent.
