Empire proudly announces their newest addition to their Team - Brat_Ok !

I think Brat_Ok doesn't need an introdution, since he is a very renowned and successfull russian Terran player. For those of you who still don't know him I recommend to read his liqupedia article (click)



After Violets leaving we had to think about a new addition for the empty spot in our team. When we did not find a Zerg player who would fit our team perfectly, we took lesson from Team Acer and just hired another top-notch Terran player. (Do we really need zergs?)

So let's all welcome our new family member - Empire.Brat_Ok !

Statement Alexander «StrangeR» Solomonov – HR manager and head sc2 coordinator of Team Empire
I am sure that Pavel will make our team stronger even so he is the 4th terran in Empire's lineup. This transfer has been planned one year ago, but, unfortunately, was called off at the last moment. I am happy this time everything went smoothly and professional.
The fact that Brat_OK and Kas are in the same team gives us a chance to make training process more efficient. But we do not want to run ahead of ourselves. Our main goal is to help Pavel to come back into his perfect shape and to set up stable gameplay level.
In my opinion, Brat_OK is one of the strongest CIS players and I am happy that he is now in one of the strongest European teams.
If we are talking about Zergs... well... We'll see!



Statement Pavel «Brat_OK» Kuznetcov:
Change of team is always a hard decision. However, it was necessary. I am grateful to FXO for support and I wish them all the best. Unfortunately, I was not able to show results everyone expected from me. Now the time to change came. I join Empire to become better and stronger. Empire is not only high level, but a friendly team. Now we will conquer the world together!


Also make sure to have an eye on the Team-Liquid live stream section,since Brat_ok will start streaming in the near future. So make sure to tune in

Wow, feels so odd to have Brat_Ok and Strelok on different teams now.

Great player though, would love to see him help Empire bring back their dominance of team leagues.

Go Brat_Ok, Best of luck to you!

Interesting, a terran team getting more terran. Brat-OK is not bad, but it's not a good idea to get terran at this time around.

Empire is definately the European counterpart to SlayerS. BratOK has really nice play, got really impressed after he beat Ret in those sick games at Dreamhack Summer 2012. Hope we get to see him at many events and that he does well.

Now BratOK has been on all the major russian/ukrainian sc2 teams, from RoX.KIS>FXO.CIS>Empire.

It's clearly because Acer picked up another zerg recently and Empire wanted to keep up on the lopsided racial balance chart.
