Today, we have to announce that Welmu is no longer part of team Empire. His contract with our team ended and even the fact that he improved constantly in the near past, could not convince us, that he could keep up with the very best EU players. Therefore we decided, not to extend the contract for any longer.

We hope that Welmu finds a new team very soon and wish him the best of luck on his way. Personally I feel kind of sad to see him go, because we became friends over the past months. However there are always some hard decisions in life and we can not ignore them.

See you soon Welmu, I hope you will find a new home in the near future! Keep it going and best of luck


Welmu Statement:
It was a nice journey to be a member of Empire, but unfortunately we couldn't continue the contract. It wasn't bitter to leave Empire and I hope good future for all Empire guys. Now im off to look for a new team yet again ^_^

welmu is a very underrated player. wonder what happened.
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

Kinda refreshing to not see roundabout statements about the team and player having different views on the future etc.

Unfortunate for Welmu, I hope he hangs in there and can prove himself in a new team
I think esports is pretty nice.

How long was the contract? Can't be much more than some months, that is a bit special?

This is the offcial statement from Team Empire.
The other thread was made bases on a twitter post by Beastyqt.

Good luck to Welmu in the future, I can only imagine he will find a team that will suit him.
One of the most innovative and creative protosses I have ever played against.

Hmm this is right after Welmu got out of his groups at Assembly right? Not the biggest achievement, but it looks like he might be a bit on the rise. On top of that, wasn't Welmu their only protoss? O_O

He was the only one from Empire that passed group stage at Assembly.
