Unexpected news came from the Dota 2 management of Team Empire. Unfortunately, the team refused to participate in the second season of DreamLeague where the team has won a slot in the CIS qualifications.
Now the organizers urgently need to search for replacement. Whether it will be Virtus.Pro, which took the 3rd place in the CIS qualifications or someone else, we will know soon.
The reasons for this decision has commented the CEO of Team Empire.
Alexander "StrangeR" Solomonov:
Unfortunately, there were contradictions in the team, which is very difficult to to solve in one day, and most likely there will be replacements in the squad. At the moment we have no confidence in a positive result at DreamLeague and no stable lineup we could send to Sweden.
Take foreign standins and just play the tournament with random results - that's not what we wanted to do, especially given the fact that the tournament will last from 7 to 14 days. We immediately had notified the tournament administration, so they still had a chance to find a replacement.
Now our main objective is to resolve the problems in the Dota 2 squad and prepare the team for the upcoming tournaments. Detailed information and the decision from our management will be announced in the coming days.
