The Dongguan team with Froman started the season with 10 consecutive wins and locked up a playoff spot in eight rounds in advance, which can be called the dark horse of the season. On February 27, 2011, Froman injured his right hand during a match between Dongguan and Beijing, and since then, due to the slow recovery from the injury, dongguan has had no choice but to cut him.
