　　Please note that this announcement does not necessarily mean that UZI will not be playing at worlds. It may just be the upset posts of a player.

　　In a shocking announcement, UZI states that he will not be playing for SHRC in the Season 4 World Championship. His post on QQ is shown below.

　　Translation via Chris Ping "I'm sorry for those who supports me. I'm only saying this because I'm not playing for Season 4".

　　Starhorn Royal Club's has posted this in their official twitter:

　　'If you guys truly like Puppy (UZI's nickname), and purely want the best for Puppy, with the genuine intention to treat Puppy like a friend, then I urge you all to help him. Let him compete in peace, for his own good, as S4 is UZI's stage to perform. The ones that want you to do well will be those who encourage you to perservere on. Uzi, your teammates are awaiting your return"

　　This is a developing story. Please stay tuned for more details. We will post them once they become available.

　　Edit: Both the posts have now been deleted. but we have captured screenshots.

　　UPDATE: StarHorn Royal Club released a new statement on their weibo, claiming the club is unified.

　　According to this statement, the Club and its employees (including players) are unified and strong, the CEO, eNo, chose to step down in April, players are now emotionally stable, and the club never fired any employees.

　　The post then encourages fans to continue supporting SHRC and China and seems to attempt to dispel rumors of deeper turmoil. It also suggests that StarHorn should remain with the same roster for the 2014 World Championships. Though this has not been explicitly confirmed, it's likely that further developments won't threaten stability until after the upcoming event.
