When I first moved to Korea, I still used to download Brat_OK replays for inspiration. The TvP build I used to basically win almost all my MLG Dallas TvPs was something I made from watching Brat_OK replays (raven/marine/marauder).

Always liked his play, hope he lands somewhere decent (or even better than decent)!

Wow the empire roster is tiny now. I wonder if they plan on exiting the sc2 scene.


To clear things up, I wanna say that Empire opens their academy for CIS players. They will find someone very soon.

That's not how it works most of the time (although it did in Idra's case).
They don't get fired, it's just that their contract is over and renegotiation doesn't come to a positive conclusion.
In this case empire probably flat out wanted to decrease their roster or adjusted Brat_OK's pay to reflect his poor performance and he didn't want to agree.
I like that Empire is direct about the matter and not beating around the bush like a lot of other teams.

Brat_ok was and still is my favorite player, learned a lot of things from his streams. But he definitely isn't the player he used to be.

Biggest thing I remember from Brat_OK was that NASL thread where a horde of Russians came and spammed voting for him.

The big changes at Empire.sc2 are coming. Time to open new projects. I promise 3 news!


BratOK leaving was the 2nd news already though, the first one was them opening an academy for CIS players. I'd assume that the 3rd news is them signing a new player or maybe even more than one. Still, most of these news have already been posted.

I wonder what empire is going to do next after they only have 3 players left?

Beastyqt, aristeo and brat_ok are really good players, i wonder what expectations empire with them.

Well I don't think Beastyqt was removed, I think he left, though I'm not sure why he'd join a much smaller team. Aristeo was inactive and Brat_OK was a top player in Russia when he joined, and now he's gone down quite a bit (compared with Happy or Verdi for example)..perhaps they couldn't justify his salary; he's also not in WCS and I think many teams place a lot of value in that, and not even being in Challenger is not attractive for teams/sponsors.

Perhaps they'll pick up fuzer's Polish troll brother now.

Quite a few Russian teams are weak at the moment, even RoX, with fraer and Pomi being inactive


Didn't leave.

Oh ok, I remember you thinking of leaving Empire a few months back, so I assumed you left. I understand releasing Brat_OK due to lack of results, but you've been doing well in the WCS...How come did you decide to join a much smaller team though, when I'm sure that quite a few bigger teams would have been interested..
