As Invictus Gaming had announced that Faith would be staying with the team, rumors now placed ZSMJ and Banana in the team. A few weeks later, the team was announced to be competing in the third season of the Sina Cup, but the roster was not yet revealed. The rumors later placed TongFu and Invictus Gaming members Mu, Faith, Hao and ChuaN in the team together with xiao8. Originally dubbed 'Dream Team 2', the rumors started after captain xiao8 made a post on his QQ micro-blogging page after LGD Gaming's win in the Dota 2 League Season 4 in Las Vegas, saying 'New start in 2014 after 3 years in LGD', forever Dream 5'. Newbee emerged in early 2014 during the Chinese reshuffle that happened prior to the fourth International tournament.
