Demon returns to DC, replaces MoonMeander
North American veteran DeMoN has returned to Digital Chaos. After being kicked from the team earlier this year, Demon tried his luck with compLexity Gaming and most recently with Team Tuho. Neither engagements worked out for him, but he has found his way back to Digital Chaos, who went on to qualify for The International without him. He replaces former Planet Odd offlaner MoonMeander, who had taken on the reigns at DC as both the captain and 5 position support. Moon was however unable to find success with Digital Chaos, as the team failed to qualify for any event thus far.

Earlier this year, Moonduck announced the concept of a new tournament. In Midas Mode, teams have to spend money to ban and pick heroes,
as such they are forced to manage their economy throughout the entire event. A more detailed run down of the concept can be found here. Initially, the tournament was supposed to be hosted going into TI but had to be delayed. Now, Moonduck has announced that Midas Mode will run from November 18th-28th, featuring top teams from both North America (Evil Geniuses, Optic Gaming, Immortals, Digital Chaos) and Europe (Team Liquid, OG, Natus Vincere, Mid or Feed).
