Faith_bian returned to pro Dota 2 because China is suffering a new player drought
Many Dota 2 fans were surprised when they learned Chinese veteran Zhang “Faith_bian” Ruida was returning to the competitive Dota 2 scene after a year of “retirement.” But now, it has been revealed the region’s worrying lack of new talent may be the cause.
During his team’s run at BetBoom Dacha Dubai, Faith_bian provided some insight on his un-retirement and decision to use a new username inspired by legendary composer Bach in an interview with Escorenews on Feb. 9. The more interesting statements, however, covered his return to pro Dota and the reason why he was back on the server—namely due to the lack of new players in China.
