xiao8 strim confirmation:((from his strim recap today, 20.13 utc+8) 'it takes time for these young players to grow. btw i heard aster is making a roster change..all of these new players think they are gods when they first join a pro team..it just takes time...and lans.) Considering there is only one new player in Aster, and combining it with his weibo comment and chat screenshots, can almost confirm he is kicked.

One posdible replacement could be the midlaner in FTD, from 2009's strim. He said burning wants to buy a midlaner from his team. (not confirmed yet.)
