ru Team Empire have announced Maxim "yoky" Kim as the replacement in their squad for Andrew "Mag" Chipenko, who had been a part of the team from late 2013. Yoky had been playing with Empire in the offlane role since earlier in October, but he has now officially joined the Russian side. His official statement reads that "it was very nice to play with the guys", but he says he has "problems that I need to solve and it requires some time". It seems Mag will be taking a break from the professional scene for now. Yoky being drafted in as a replacement will come as no surprise either, he has played in Mag's place with Empire for a few weeks now.


Team Empire at TI4 - Only 3 of that team remain


Mag enjoyed decent success at Team Empire, they contested many matches against other Tier 1 teams of the world, but success in major tournaments has not been as common as many of their rivals. They finished a dissapointing 13th place at TI4 with a 6-9 record, equalling that of se The Alliance and eu Fnatic. The side achieved a 1st place in the 3rd season of the D2CL, but failed to qualify for either ESL ONE LAN event.
