League of Legends is one of the leading e-sports discipline. Numerous tournaments with big prize pools, high ratings on TwitchTV, active support from the developers and other factors make this game so appealing for sponsors.
We all remember that Gambit Gaming (ex-M5) started their path to champions from Team Empire. After that Since then, we have thought about returning to this discipline, but there was no suitable options.
During last months we had negotiations with several teams and today we are glad to announce our new LoL squad that consists from young CIS players.
Under Team Empire tag will participate ex-players of TortFM:
Nikita "conjke" Kuznecov (captain)
Ivan "Paranoia" Typuhov
Vladislav "Neon" Zelinskiy
Nikita "Nike3" Kosarev
Aleksandr "LEKCyCC" Leksikov
Aleksandr "StrangeR" Solomonov - CEO of Team Empire:
At the moment, CIS is presented at LoL professional scene by Gambit Gaming and recently created RED. However, LoL actively develops and has already been in the interests of Team Empire for a lonf period of time. It's really hard to pick up or assemble a team and be sure that it will immediately show expected results.
We decided to rely on talented young players from CIS, that had played a lot together. A key factor in the negotiations was the desire of pals to be a part of Team Empire and a clear understanding of the objectives they have in the future. We appreciate this position and quickly came to an agreement. Good luck to our new roster, welcome to Team Empire!
Nikita "conjke" Kuznecov - Empire.LoL captain:
We are really glad to recieve such a chance to show what we can and to become a part of such well-known e-sports organizations as Team Empire. We hope that our cooperation will be fruitful and under the new tag we will have even better results!
Our main goal - to reach the level of Gambit Gaming, that started it's triumphant path to the glory on professional scene under wing of Team Empire.
Techlabs Kazakhstan will be the serious test and it will will be held on December 7 at «Prime Plaza» – Almaty, where Team Empire will face Titan e-Sports.
We should submit that main support of our team LEKCyCC is unable to participate at this tournament, so Kirill "Likkrit" Malofeev will play as an substitute.
Let's wish good luck and a lot of victories to our guys! Follow updates about new roster at team-empire.org, and don't forget to subscribe to our social resources:
