Team Empire Makes Roster Changes Ahead of Dota Pro Circuit
Team Empire has made several roster changes in preparation for the upcoming season of the Dota Pro Circuit. They have brought in two new players and moved Uladzislau “Petushara” Kazlouski back to their main lineup.
One of the new additions to the team is VANSKOR, who has been playing with Empire on loan from HellRaisers for the past month. After HellRaisers made their own roster changes, VANSKOR was moved to their inactive roster on March 12. However, Empire purchased his contract and successfully transferred him to their main roster for the upcoming season.
Team Empire has also made a deal with Team Unique to bring on Gleb “depressed kid” Zyryanov. He has been on Unique’s inactive roster since Jan. 17 and will now compete with Empire on loan.
“The team began training with this lineup even before the start of the D2CL, there was enough time to make sure that our decisions were correct,” said Empire esports directory Alexander “StrangeR” Solomonov in a statement. “Replacements were needed. I hope that the combination of youth and experience will bring the expected result.”
Furthermore, Petushara, who was already under contract with Empire but benched on March 15, has been reinstated to the starting lineup. Alexander “gwynbleidd” Abakumov will be removed from the main roster, but will remain an active substitute player for the team in the upcoming season.
Following their relegation from the upper division in season one, Team Empire will be competing in the lower division of the CIS regional league. The matches are set to begin on April 15.
