Immediately, it was also announced that the vacant positions will be filled by Han, Lin "pLAnet" Hao, and Yu "Fantasy" Yayun. They are currently on a trial basis, and their future with the team will depend on their performance in upcoming tournaments. Additionally, the team's new coach is Se "Super" Junhao.

The specific reasons for such significant changes before the end of the Dota 2 season have not been disclosed, but it is likely related to the team's performance dissatisfaction in previous seasons. It is worth noting that Azure Ray failed to qualify for The International 2024 and did not advance past the Play-In stage of Riyadh Masters 2024.

Earlier reports also indicated that Nigma Galaxy may lose two key players for the upcoming Dota 2 tournament.
