One more weekly Regular Cup had started and ended this Saturday. 28 scene representers faced each ether in struggle for the main prize of 100$. Among them were such names as 3D!Noname,  Anexis.Verdi &  Acer.Bly. Team Empire was represented at this tournament with Dmitriy "Happy" Kostin. 

Tournament went without any surprizes. Having no problems with his opponents till final, Happy got there. In grandfinal our terran faced one of best protoss players in Europe - Verdi. But this fact didn't help him against Dmitriy. Difficult victory 3:2 and another 100$ in pocket of the Emperor. Congrats!

One more triumphal Zotac Cup is over. Our team was represented there by  Dmitriy "Empire.Happy" Kostin. Imperial confidently went through the grid to final without losing even a set. There he crushed  Na'Vi.LoWeLy with a score of 3:1 and finally became a champion. Title and 100$ were put into the pocket, congrats!

The only protoss of our team was also almost as successful this weekend.  Vladimir "Empire.Siw" Syzranov took worthy second place at Go4SC2 Cup, losing only to Acer.Nerchio in a pretty close struggle - 2:3. But, we totally shouldn't be upset: Vladimir has shown an high level of gaming and just missed a little bit to obtain victory that is so important for him. His best games are in future! To sum up, I would like to suggest that tournament came out to be a good level one. A lot of well-known players didn't even get to quarterfinals!

It's really sad to grasp that after a year in Team Empire, Brat_OK leaves the team. About reasons of such decision and what caused it you can read below in statements of both sides.

We are grateful to Pavel for his stunning streams, for maybe not so major but important wins, for his contribution in development of Empire.
