It should be noted that the Chinese team plays without their carry player Cheng "NothingToSay" Jin Xiang, who is unable to get to Europe due to visa issues. For this reason, the team’s coach Zhang "xiao8" Ning plays in his stead. There are rumours that NothingToSay will not be able to attend The International 10 and the team is looking for a replacement.

OGA Dota PIT Invitational is an online event with $275,000 on the line. The winner will claim $114,500, while the runner-up will be awarded $59,500.
