We are happy to announce that there is an agreement with Fnatic to unite our Starcraft II squads for the third season of Acer Teamstory Cup. After Team Empire got a strong ally with wide range of skilled players, such as Zanster, Miniraser, Harstem, our variability and unpredictability increased.

So, 2013 is coming to it's end. During it, our team continued to please fans both at Dota 2 and Starcraft II disciplines. Although there were sad moments on this path, Team Empire confidently moves forward to new heights.
