Recent developments in the controversy surrounding Chinese esports organization Four Angry Men (4AM) and partner media company Elephant seem to suggest that their Dota 2 collaboration is officially over.
Just a day ago, a tumultuous contract dispute centered around player Zhang “Eurus” Chengjun concluded with his transfer from Vici Gaming to 4AM.
Tournament host ImbaTV has since revealed that the Chinese superteam will no longer represent 4AM in the ongoing China Dota2 Pro Cup Season 2. In an official post via the company’s Weibo account, a new graphic shows that the team will now simply be referred to as Elephant.
