Team Aster was forced to make a roster change due to a disappointing showing at the Bali Major, saying goodbye to Ye “BoBoKa” Zhibiao after nearly five years with the company. BoBoKa and teammate Lin “Xxs” Jing, the longest-lasting duo in Dota history, are split apart as a result of the choice.
On July 7, Team Aster announced the news on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, mentioning that the club and the players had previously discussed it. Veteran Hu “Kaka” Liangzhi, who will mark ten years in Dota 2 this December, will succeed BoBoKa.

The veteran made a comeback with Xtreme Gaming for the Dota Pro Circuit Tour Two in April after taking a break from competition at the start of 2023. The final reason for the change is that Team Aster was unable to qualify for The International in October 2023 due to their early departure from the Bali Major this week.

Y’ and Faith Bian have played nearly 300 fewer games than the duo, with N0tail and Fly coming in a close second. The astounding 56 percent win rate that BoBoKa and Xxs attained across all 1,755 matches is even more impressive.

BoBoKa and Xxs have participated in every single Aster game to date, or 1,037, according to DatDota. They were both a part of the original Team Aster lineup when it was established in September 2018. However, the two became well-known during the final years of Team DK, so their history as a team predates Team Aster by a further three years. In a remarkable 1,755 Dota matches over eight years, according to DatDota, the two have competed together.
The two left Team DK in late 2015 and joined Invictus Gaming, making their main team debut in April 2016. At the Dota 2 Asia Championships a year later, the pair defeated OG to win their first tier-one title, and they haven’t looked back since. BoBoKa and Xxs have competed in four iterations of The International; their best placing at the premier competition was fourth in 2022 with Team Aster.
Now that BoBoKa is currently teamless before the regional qualifying rounds of TI 2023, Xxs will need to adjust to life without his partner in crime. With Team Aster almost certainly receiving an EPT invitation for the Riyadh Masters, which starts on July 17, Kaka won’t have much time to get used to his new team. Following that, the team will fly back home to get ready for the TI regional qualifier in August.
