Earlier there was a rumor about VGJ.Storm getting disbanded and the players joining different teams however Roman “Resolut1on” Fominok came forward and announced on Twitter that the roster is only having a change in the offlane and the rest of the team is staying together. Former Fnatic player Saahil “Universe” Arora will join the team as their new offlaner replacing Jingjun “sneyking” Wu.
The line-up did manage to finish at top 8 at The International 2018. According to Resolut1on the future of the line-up is uncertain as they have not decided which organization or brand the team will represent in the upcoming season.
The Line-up will keep Jack “KBBQ” Chen as their manager. However, they will make some adjustments in the coaching department as they will bring in former EG player and TI winner Kurtis “Aui_2000” Ling as their coach who is also coming from Fnatic.
Even though the roster was pretty new they did perform above expectation at The International 2018. VGJ.Storm was rebuilt on this February with this line-up and they still did finish at top 8 which is quite remarkable. The newly built line-up captained by Avery “SVG” Silverman won it’s group and performed above expectations at the Main Event.
