　　Earlier this month the inactive Facebook page for the old Dota organisation Online Kingdom, who had a Dota 2 team that attended the first ever International event, sprung back into life claiming that they were making a return.

　　The new activity on the Facebook page was the first set of messages made since November 2011, when the organisation went into dissolution.

　　A day after the initial return announcement they made a new post claiming that a Dota 2 team would be on the way and that it wouldn't be Team Dog. This announcement was also tied in with the launch of their new Twitter account.

　　Online Kingdom.Dota2 to be announced soon! But it is NOT Team Dog!

　　Shortly after this announcement onGamers was informed that the Facebook page in question had been sold last year and that the new announcements were in no way related to the original company. An old news writer who used to work for the original Online Kingdom organisation had sold the page for €100.

　　Fast forward to today and the new owners of the Facebook page have made a bold statement claiming that the logo, brand and Facebook page were purchased from the previous owners and that they were planning on launching a Chinese and European headquarters:

　　The old management of Online Kingdom has NOTHING to do with the new one. The logo, brand and facebook fan page were bought from the previous owners.

　　The new management wishes to do something none has ever done before, and has decided to reinstate a well known legacy much like ancient Rome legions.

　　Online Kingdom is of now a registered brand and company in China, part of the Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited.

　　Our vision, shared by Hutchison International, is to bridge the Western and Eastern world of Dota2.

　　We will house two headquarters, one in each region, where we will have our Chinese team as a primary squad located in Europe to compete in European tournaments, while we will have European up and coming players moved to China to thrive in the Chinese scene and evolve as professional players.

　　Regarding OK.Academy we have no yet decided how many teams we will fly out to China, but we are not locked in to one.

　　Regarding OK.HT announcement will come as soon as every deal is done and closed to not cause missunderstandings.

　　Online Kingdom will also try a new concept in being very open with its business. Contracts will be fully visible to the public, including salaries, conditions, team housing and more.

　　We are also going to host a Internet Cyber Café in the same building as our professional team, which means fans can visit and watch their idols practise and play professional games and of course play local games with our players.

　　A bigger and longer presentation of the club is to follow when everything is clear. We are expecting it to be done at latest end of April.

　　Thanks for your patience.

　　Regards, Lu Tong Shing - CEO.

　　After this news broke, onGamers reached out to multiple members of the original Online Kingdom organisation who have informed us that this news is far from the truth and the the company is still owned by the Portuguese company, ESPORTSM LDA.

　　The original owners of the Online Kingdom organisation have already reached out to the Facebook page to make this fact clear and are currently waiting on a response whilst considering further action depending on the outcome.

　　onGamers has also been in contact with a number of Chinese organisations who have told us that they have not been approached by the Online Kingdom Facebook page owners or that they have heard anything about a team being acquired by them.
