The Dota 2 Asia Championship website has 'hidden' the rosters of their attending teams inside their HTML code, thus leaking the teams new rosters. Secret have confirmed the changes, but EG hasnt confirmed their new roster yet.
Changes:
Arteezy and zai from EG to Secret.
Aui_2000 and SumaiL from C9 and ROOT respectively to EG.
New rosters:
Confirmed: Team Secret.
Clement �Puppey� Ivanov
Kuro �Kuroky� Takhasomi
Gustav �S4� Magnussson
Artour �Arteezy Babaev
Ludwig "zai" WÃ¥hlberg
Unconfirmed: EG.
Clinton �Fear� Loomis
Peter �PPD� Dager
Syed �Sumail� H***an
Kurtis �Aui_2000�
Saahil "Universe" Arora
This will mean that C9 will be left with 4 players, although it is possible that bigdaddyn0tail will join them.
Personally i find it strange that bigdaddy is no longer in secret, since he is the best support in the west IMO, it probably had something to do with fly/simba being kicked, so there is a possibility that they will create another team, perhaps with h4nn1 and/or misery, although it is also rumored that misery will join C9 with him. And pieliedie will be teamless as a result.
Secret will have to change their playstyle, but they probably dont have to build around RTZ like EG did, since he will play the actual carry in secret as he said on his stream. this will probably mean that kuroky will go back to the support role, even though he prefers carry, and zai will be their offlaner.
The other potion is RTZ as mid, kuroky carry, and S4 in the offlane, although S4 is probably too good as a mid to replace, and will leave their team 2 extremely greedy lanes.
Most likely lineup Secret:
1: Arteezy.
2: S4.
3: Zai.
4: Kuroky.
5: Puppey.
EG will have to make less changes, as AUI_2000 is the same type of player as zai, although it is possible that he will go back to his role of carry.
Sumail is a less greedy player then RTZ, and will probably play more of the classic mid tempo controller, thus forcing fear or possibly AUI into more of a carry role.
Edit:
BTW the new [A]lliance has been confirmed, atleast for the dota 2 asian championships. https://twitter.com/kellymilkies/status/552717935383306240
its unsure if bulldog is really out, as he didnt want to play with standins.
also EGM is back. Which will be kind of weird since Alliance will have to play against Team Tinker, which will be weird as they now lost Pajkatt and EGM to Alliance.
EGM will play the offlane role like he did when team tinker just formed.
Loda (1), Pajkatt (2), EGM (3), Mynuts (4), Akke (5)
No teams which members are based on continents anymore?
appearently not, its weird because secret will have 1 NA player while all the others are EU.
Sumail is from pakistan but looking at his dotabuff matches he has been playing US east since 17 days, before that he played EU west. so he probably lives in EU west or NA.

New Fnatic confirmed!
Master of the hidden art of typoing and the greatest enemy of RNGesus
N0tail is scrimming with C9 and misery, so it seems they will join C9 and pieliedie will be teamless. Maybe he goes to alliance or some players of tinker if that team falls apart.
How do you like:
W33
Excalibur
Simbaa
H4nni
PieLieDie
I don't know what to make of it...
W33 and Excalibur on the same team would be amazing to see. And hilarious, because you'd essentially see Meepo banned against them every game. (Both W33 and Excalibur being stupidly good Meepos).
But I'd have my doubts of it working that well, since w33, and Xcalibur are kinda similar in terms of what they play.
W33 just needs a high skill team to be around and in, because he's fantastic as a player, he's just let down by his team atm.
It'll be difficult to get past Newbee and Vici, but if anyone can it'll be Secret.

they are all scrimming together, but i think it will be kind of a weird team if they decide to do it.
excalibur is just really inexperienced and as sanvitch said the same kind of player as W33.
