The Chinese team had been announced by the ESWC as one of the sides on show at the Masters event in Paris but the Asian squad did not feature in the tournament's final list released earlier today.

According to NiceZ.com, the organisation's financial problems and the poor campaign at the IEF tournament have led to changes in the squad.

It is reported that Yu "FOREVER" Wei will undergo a surgery and will have to be sidelined for a period of four months.

Wei's replacement comes in the form of Hou "bigun" Hao, who returns to wNv.cn after being removed in March.

This leaves wNv.cn with the following line-up:

Bian "alex" Zhengwei
Liu "Savage" Bin
Wu "Sakula" Runbo
Luo "K|ng'Z" Likan
Hou "bigun" Hao
