Team Hi2u is one of the few teams that still plays actively in the Us West DotA leagues. Most of the teams (especially the top) and players have switched over the the IRC DotA world, but some have still remained. Team Hi2u has generated a lot of respect by the US West DotA players.

Johnson 'tEa' Tea announced he would be leaving the team, after being a team member since the beginning. He felt that he preferred just playing for fun, rather then competing competitively. He was down about their match against TeG, as he was not able to play, and on top of that he is too busy to spend the hours needed to be on a top team.

Jimmy 'Demon' Ho announced he would be leaving the team, only one day after Johnson, after being with the team for 6 months. Though Jimmy's leave of the team came as a shock, he stated "after losing PRIDE9 to SK (after they hosted) it was my decision to leave the team."

He continued by saying he learned a lot about DotA while being with the team, but the team became too much of a stressful environment to have fun in.

Though his next step is unclear, he pointed out that "I'd still play competitive with any decent team, to check out if I can still find the enthusiasm of this game still."
