In the next few days, CCM was purchased by iG for a fee of $6,000,000. iG.Z participated in The International 2011. xiao8 and ddc left iG.Z after The International 2011 and were replaced by Awoke and Faith, in the first ever official transfer in Chinese e-sports.

iG acquired their second DotA team in a controversial manner, in which they signed 4 players from LGD. Sharingan transferred from PanDa after a controversial blocking of Lanm's transfer by EHOME.
