Russian newsarticle below.

http://team-empire.tv/index.php?site=news_comments&newsID=2002&lang=ru

EDIT

Finnish newsartcle : http://sett.fi/?q=uutinen/exelon-gaming-menettää-tähtipelaajansa-venäjälle

Welmus comments : "I decided to join Team Empire after they contacted me. I saw a great opportunity to improve and raise to the next level. Team Empire is a well working organization, which has a good reputation and a lot of skilled players. I will attend more tournaments in the future and I will achieve better placements there. I don't want to be known only for good ladder rankings. Next you can see me in action at WCG. I will also start streaming in the near future. You can see me in action at EmpireTV"

1st impression was that he's yet another cheesy laddertoss...

Turns out he is very solid at any stage in the game - good pickup by Empire!

Joining Empire is great for e-sport career. Just look at Naniwa or Nerchio ^^

Also. Empire is becoming less T centric ^^

Very underrated player, who deserves a bit more of the spotlight.

also very nice contributor to teamliquid, his replay packs helped quite a bit, back then... (when I was not a zerg)

And a nice guy, from what I could see
