With the end of The Kiev Major, the gates have opened for the final round of roster changes before The International 2017. Teams will have to decide whether they should continue on their current trajectory to try and improve, or whether they'll risk it all to see if a new approach will be more successful
The first stage of the roster lock, where teams can drop players from there roster, will be open until May 16. The second stage, where players can be added to rosters, will end on May 24.
To keep track of all the changes, this post will be updated as news breaks.
