Its been a while since TI4 and most of us who follow the scene are suffering from the yearly "TI Hangover".
In the time between tournaments things can become very stale so there isn't much to report on. In fact, I haven't reported on ANYTHING (not even roster changes) because there is little new that is official.
However, some announcements were made so I can safely report on those below:
CONFIRMED
Cloud Nine
First SingSing was said to be leaving the team as well as PieLieDie Joining Alliance.
Team DK
LaNm has retired from competitive gaming. He has been in the running for the Aegis four times and has had one hell of a career.
No comment on the future of BurNing
Invictus Gaming
YYF has announced his retirement. Some say that he was the most prominent supporter of a buyback system in the olden days of DotA. At least he retires as a TI champion.
Na'vi
NOTHING IS CERTAIN
Na'vi US
The entire roster is stable and no changes will be made at this time.
Team Liquid
DeMoN has left the team. I guess things weren't.....working out.
Wayto has also announced his retirement so that he can go back to school.
EG
Mason has "retired" and a 5th slot has opened for the carry position. Arteezy has hinted that Fear may return.
Newbee
Xiao8 has retired after his teams amazing performance at TI4 (the biggest beatdown in TI history). He can take his million dollars and start a family like his wife has been badgering him to do.
That wraps up the things that I can confirm.
As far as things I WANT to confirm please take a look at this:

I may be seeing things but it looks like I see Bulba, Qojqva, SingSing, and Pajkatt......
Team Tinker everybody. THATS FUCKING CONFIRMED.
