That is pretty surprising.....perhaps there was some other requirements he couldn't meet,or Empire shifted focus onto the European scene?

Actually, I am viOLet's personal manager and have been since November 2011 when he attended the CSN Training Camp.
For those of you that don't know his story, I recommend watching this


To clear up any speculation, viOLet's contract has ended with Empire, and as of now he is a free agent. We are reviewing his opportunities for sponsorship, both with teams and as an independent.

I want it to be known that there is also a possibility that he re-signs with Empire.
I will release a full statement when we have a better idea of his future plans.

Also, I want to state Empire has been a really awesome team for viOLet regardless if he re-signs or not.
There is no problems or issues between viOLet and them.

thanks a lot for the clarification. i think this is what we were all assuming anyway, but thanks for the confirmation regardless.

I wouldn't say after playing on a non-korean team he would go back, I would guess it would be a bigger team that would pick him up but all them seem to have pretty Zerg heavy line ups. Like EG, Liquid, Fnatic all have mostly Zerg players already. I good guess would be absolute legends or some other smaller team with some money behind it because I think he deserves a big team and the money that comes with that because of his success and how hard he works.

OP should update with CSN Andrew's post. It's very important for that to be the first thing seen.

Anywho, I doubt he'll join a Korean team since he seems to love America so much. But I'm going to guess EG because they lack a Korean/really high level Zerg at the moment. At least until Idra rises again =)
