      The Robot Devil

        Good read, sad story -- the real point to remember is the conflict of interest between ACE (run by owners) and the players. Not really a surprise that a governing organization sides with its masters. For the system to have a chance of functioning impartially for dispute resolution, ACE has to be restructured or (probably better), replaced by a neutral organization that the owners and the players can trust to be neutral. Sounds iffy.

        Really a shame it happened to wings too, they were so fun to watch.

            It's easy to criticize this from the outside but china's way of organizing provided many ways for new blood to pop into the scene while keeping old boys in the spotlight. We shouldn't judge them as an irrational block, there are too many unknowns to do so.

            Perhaps the contracts for new players are shit since they are a great risk and only in the case of wings payed off. If so wings are reaping the benefits to continue to be able to make many such bets and Ace is protecting this.

            Maybe I'm talking out of my ass.

                I don't really get the whole situation but banning a Chinese pro gamer from pro gaming in China, as he can't communicate well in other languages, is like ripping off the life of him

                  Yeah I agree the language barrier is probably what is keeping a lot of Chinese players from joining other international teams.

                    How is this a surprise? Where there's money, there's politics, there's corruption and there's an abuse of power.

                            I suspect some would leave, but visas and/or leaving China when so famous could be problematical.

                            Based on everything I've read, Wings got screwed by ACE and the princeling team owners. Too bad.

                                      ACE needs to be taught a harsh lesson. Ban them for participating IT 17 as sponsorship and hosting privilege to make them lose revenue!
                                      While providing ACE associated players, not organizations, something such as out of jail cards and extra time to form their roster without representing their nationality like secret, eg.

                                          I love that the article says the players are now called Faith_bYan, IcieIce (do you pronounce that icee ice?!) and that TI was $29 million... did eggs type this while drunk?

                                                When teams get blacklisted/excommunicated and banned from scrimming and being part of. It's no wonder that former Wings. players execution and winning formula has deteriorated; For them to remain at the top they need to be able to practice with the best.

                                                    Very sad how this monopoly can BAN anyone from a FREE to PLAY game? FREE TO MAKE MONEY GAME!!! :O who the FFFF do they think they are banning someone from attending different teams, etc.

                                                    Yeah, so the government of China killed dota in its community, Valve needs to step in and squash the group of idiots causing this mess, and allow them to rethink they stupid rules they're upholding..

                                                            The problem with chinese esport scene is that there are too many useless un-involved third party who constantly interfere with competitive scene. I understand that sport can't be 100% pure as there will always be some commercial and business aspect. In America or Europe for examples, esport is just players that excels in the game forming a team and compete for tournament prize. Some organization can be formed to provide players with regular training and giving player salary but that's it. In China, however, it is so much more complicated. There are so many people who are not currently playing competitively but have a say and impact the competitive scene. Those people are, retired players who are constantly thinking getting back, caster who has too much personal opinion of how people should play instead of just making a entertaining host, organization that tries very hard to gain profit from esport without participating but through marketing, and old dota players who have a fan base but no long plays. Those people are a big percentage of this esport scene and it makes chinese players suffer. Imaging you are playing a tournament trying to earn that money for self-interest, now you have to worry judgment and interference coming from this group of people who basically have nothing to do with dota.

                                                            Forget everything I just said, who won China TI6 when the entire chinese dota scene performed so disappointingly despite the fact they had so much expectation before TI? Newbee? Ehome? Whatever team Burning was in? NO, it is those new people. And yet now they are banned because of an organization called ACE who has fucking nothing to do with dota. when players with skills are not valued but organization that doesn't even fucking play have a say,No wonder chinese dota declined over the years

                                                              China are just ducking fat little greedy money grubbing shifts! Why are ACE exhausting every effort to destroy DotA2 pro scene?!

                                                              ACE want to boycott the greatest TI team of champions ever to grace Dota? Maybe Valve should boycott ACE! That way all the teams in China that are obligated to go through them will no longer do so! Valve should control the flux of these players, not independent greedy Kunts like ACE.

                                                              Boycott China!

                                                                The fact is there isn't any dota2 player like ACE.

                                                                There is a common saying about ACE in chinese : GTMDACE, which translate to " fuck you ACE". You can see the spam of "GTMDACE" all the time

                                                                However, ACE is backed up by the investor and the owner of the team to ensure their interest. Sadly, the money talks at end of the day.
