That’s not a secret that lately, Dota 2 squad had issues. After recent changes, we invited Ivan “Vigoss” Shinkarev and succeeded getting to Starladder season finals and taking first place on Techlabs Moscow. But after that achieves, the development of teamplay and gaming stopped. So, time for changes has come.
The new page of history is started today as two players are leaving team. From today you won’t find Artur “Goblak” Kostenko and Airat “Silent” Gaziev in roster of our team. They were for a long time a part of our organization and made a huge contribution in its development. Both sides decided that it’s time to go apart, so from now, these players are free agents.
Commentary:
Sergei “Anahronix” Bykovskiy - team manager:
"Artur and Airat quickly became important part of the team and made a big deal evolving it. But, unfortunately, then came that moment, when views on where the team should move in its development parted. Subsequent performance with this roster was negative and had bad influence on all team. Considering desire of players, managers made a decision about finishing the cooperation. I want to thank guys for a big work that they made and wish them a good luck. It’s time to forget past and move on. We will make a selection and find new players. Team will train hard to please fans with new victories. Support us, we need it as never before."
Former captain - Artur “Goblak” Kostenko:
"Playing in this team gave me huge experience. The support of organization was always on a good level. But every team has moments, when it needs changes. For Team Empire, this moment is now. I want to say “Thank you” to the organization for its support during all this time. Also I want to thank my teammates for our joint work. Good luck in future!"
