Post-TI2026 Roster Shuffle: planet Leaves Team Resilience Dota 2, Replaced by TK

Chinese esports organization Team Resilience has made a targeted roster change for its Dota 2 squad shortly after The International 2026 concluded. Support player Lin “planet” Hao has left the team, with 25-year-old He “TK” Boi taking his place.

planet’s Career Plans and New Roster Rumors

According to a report, planet’s contract was terminated by mutual agreement — the player decided to continue his career in another project and has become a free agent.

He had been with Team Resilience since the roster was formed in April 2026. Over four months, the team delivered consistent results on both regional and international stages:

• secured silver at ESL Challenger China Season 3 x ACL 2026;
• finished third at the multi-sport event Games of the Future 2026;
• triumphed through the Chinese closed qualifiers for The International 2026, beating Yakult Brothers 2:0 in the upper bracket final;
• ended their TI 2026 run in 9th–13th place.

Insiders suggest planet may join a new Chinese roster alongside former Vici Gaming players — carry shiro, support y`, and offlaner 项羽 (Xiangyu) — though no official announcement has been made yet.

Newcomer TK’s Career

He “TK” Boi (formerly known as Kclass) has been on the professional scene since 2021. His resume includes stints with Aster.Aries, Team Bright, Spiky Gaming, YB.Tearlaments, and Game Master.

Late last year, TK competed at the LAN event BLAST Slam V, and in the first half of the season he tried to qualify for The International 2026 with Game Master but fell short in the closed qualifier. Now he has a chance to establish himself on one of the region’s top teams.

Current Team Resilience Roster

According to the team’s page on Liquipedia, the club has kept four members of the lineup that competed at the year’s main event:

• Yang “Erika / YSR-04E” Shaohan — carry (position 1);
• Xu “Echo / Echozz” Ziliang — midlaner (position 2);
• Li “niu” Kongbo — offlaner (position 3);
• He “TK” Boi — soft support (position 4);
• Zhang “zzq” Ziqiang — hard support (position 5);
• Xie “Super” Junhao — coach.

Debut in BLAST Slam VIII Closed Qualifier

The revamped five-man roster has no time for extended practice: the team immediately jumped into the Chinese qualifier for BLAST Slam VIII.

The single-elimination bracket features eight teams (including Yakult Brothers and Cloud Rising), and only the winner of the mini-tournament will earn a spot at the LAN final in Malta, which boasts a prize pool of $750,000. According to tournament operator BLAST, the official roster lock deadline is set for September 14.
