In the aftermath of ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, Azure Ray faced a massive shift in its Dota 2 roster, raising questions about the team's future. The departure of Guo "Xm" Hongcheng, Lin "Xxs" Jing, and Zhao "XinQ" Zixing to Xtreme Gaming left Azure Ray with critical gaps to fill. However, there appears to be some good news - the organization's potential Dota 2 Roster has been leaked.

Azure Ray's Potential New Dota 2 Roster

Renowned Dota 2 commentator Benjamin "Bkop" Kopilow recently spilled beans on Azure Ray's revamped Dota 2 lineup. The alleged trio set to join the squad comprises – Zeng "Ori" Jiaoyang, Zhang "Faith_bian" Ruida, and Xu "fy" Linsen.

Contrary to earlier rumors, Lin "planet" Hao, who is currently on LGD Gaming’s inactive roster, clarified that Faith_bian and fy would be Azure Ray's newest acquisitions. This revelation debunked the notion of the mid laner continuing as a streamer, as hinted before.

The Azure Ray roster speculation reached its peak on 30th December when Bkop, in a tweet, declared the purported completion of the team. The roster, as per Bkop, boasts – Lou "Lou" Zhen, Zeng "Ori" Jiaoyang, Zhang "Faith_bian" Ruida, Xu "fy" Linsen, and Jiang "天命" An. 

The absence of a confirmed mid-laner fueled speculation among fans, with names like Lu "Somnus" Yao and Zhang "Paparazi" Chengjun circulating. However, Paparazi dispelled these rumors, asserting no intention of a comeback.

There has been no official announcement from the end of Azure Ray. However, the entire Dota 2 community is eagerly awaiting an official response. It will be interesting to see whether Azure Ray signs the aforementioned roster or opts for a completely different roster.
