Uzi collaborated with the official Uzi Cup, which has already started its qualifiers. A team formed by retired players Xiaobei, SMLZ, and Haike faced Wang Jichao's streamer team and got crushed and eliminated. These former pros have been hooked on Dota lately, so losing isn't surprising. The absurd part was during the match when SMLZ suddenly said: "Let's go back and prepare to smoke for the Baron."

When the term "smoke" came out, it was truly hard to hold back laughter. Uzi's own team also had a rough start. With players like Breathe, Aki, and Ming on the roster, they suffered a brutal training session on the first day, losing eight consecutive matches without a win. Everyone played solo with little communication; even advantageous starts turned into deficits. It seems time to bring Tabe in for professional coaching and review to identify team issues.

Doinb responds to the "traitor" controversy.

Doinb, founder of professional entertainment tournaments, recently saw the Uzi Cup gaining massive popularity and felt envy. Before switching to Dota, he originally planned to host a tournament early this year but was stopped by officials. Seeing Uzi able to run his event while he couldn't, coupled with the frequent "traitor" comments flooding his streams and clips, Doinb snapped: "It's not that I don't want to host it; they just won't let me."

To viewers calling him a traitor, Doinb retorted: "Those saying I'm a traitor act like they've bought my team merch or attended my matches. They just jump on every trend to criticize, pretending to care and help me." Honestly, what game Doinb streams depends on himself. As a retired streamer, he naturally plays trending games. Calling him a traitor is really unfair.

RNG's two former top laners feud and clash.

During the recent offseason, Huya invited its LOL streamers for a PUBG entertainment tournament. Streamers like Zitai, Crystal Brother, and Ning participated. Crystal Brother had the most explosive moments—every time his team clashed with others and both sides lost members, he'd request world chat for illegal teaming. The most absurd part: teaming up actually helped them win a match once.

While Crystal Brother delivered top-tier content, Zitai's team exploded. When Letme summarized their previous loss, he directly targeted Zitai: "Teacher Da greedily chased guns." Hearing this, Zitai, who was scoring points, snapped: "If you don't want to play, then quit." Baiyun agreed, AJ fueled the fire, and finally Letme quit the game. When trying to reconnect failed, the two started cursing each other.

IG's top laner may change.

During LPL's first transfer window, IG and TES had the biggest shifts. TES needs new jungle and support, but whether they'll pick Tian or Beichuan remains unknown. IG's top laner was rumored to be replaced by Wenbo, but recent updates suggest changes. Beichuan's former agent recently hinted that IG's Wenbo situation isn't settled; he signed up for the Uzi Cup, so the top lane spot is still uncertain. Who it will be remains to be seen.

The Uzi Cup, an entertainment event, bans active players. Wenbo joining the Uzi Cup likely means he didn't reach terms with IG. The previous backup foreign player has joined LGD, so who can IG pick for top lane? Breathe might be a consideration. These rumors are still unconfirmed; the transfer window closes around late March, so teams adjusting rosters may see further changes.

Conclusion:

Doinb recently revealed in stream that LPL officials invited him to return for the third segment, but he declined citing pregnancy plans. It seems he's comfortable streaming Dota now and no longer wants to compete. The clash between Zitai and Baiyun wasn't scripted—Letme's words instantly angered Zitai, and they reconciled only after exchanging gifts.

So, why do you think the officials prevented Doinb from hosting tournaments?
