The Chinese team face a difficult task in the ESWC after the draw for the group stage paired it with SK Gaming, Mafia of Brothers and Defining Stars.

But wNv face another problem as it will have to play the ESWC event without one of its players, namely Wu "Sakula" Runbo.

NiceZ.com understands that Runbo is unable to travel to the United States as his passport expires in February 2009, which does not meet the regulation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that says that every passport must be valid at least six months beyond the dates of a trip.

Runbo's replacement comes in the form of ex-TR.victory member Xiaoyu "xpy" Zhao, who has already joined the rest of the team.

WNv will attend the ESWC with the following team:

Bian "alex" Zhengwei
Liu "Savage" Bin
Luo "K|ng'Z" Likan
Hou "bigun" Hao
Xiaoyu "xpy" Zhao
