Recently   TheMista has joined  Team Empire, but seems that the management won’t stick with one Protoss in the team and has announced about adding former player of  oGs  VINES to the roster.

By this move Team Empire is expecting impressive results from participation in IPL TAC 3 and other team leagues.

Manager of the Team Empire  Stranger commented:

Korean Protoss – it’s exactly what will make our lineup way stronger. Unfortunately, there is no other option to compete with top teams. VINES was the strongest Protoss-player in oGs team. The debut of our new player will be in nearest clan wars and games in Code A. Also, Team Empire will support VINES in taking part in LAN-events. Now I can make a conclusion that our lineup full filled and we are ready for serious battles.

Hello all! Today I have joined Team Empire. In my opinion, it’s the best non-Korean team in the world. With my new teammates I’ll take part in MCSL and IPL TAC and will visit LAN-tournaments as well. I’m happy and promise that I’ll show my best games under Team Empire’s clan tag. Cheer for me and Team Empire!

Few days ago we found out that the well known korean team  Old Generations will dissband, with players chosing new paths in their careers. This meant that the  GSTL, the most prestigious team league in the korean SC2 scene will lose one team from the current season.

To make it right because of this lost team, the organizers behind GSTL have decided to consider all oGs matches as forfeit, therefor the team that had to battle oGs will get a free win.

Beside this change, there are other changes, as after the new addition of ThorzaiN to  EG's line-up, the EG team now have 5 players in the  SlayerS house, as  PuMa,  HUK,  ThorzaiN,  IdrA and  JYP all are in the korean team house practicing along side the ranks of  MMA and  Boxer. With this move, SlayerS team have decided to join forces with EG and participate in GSTL as a team the SlayerS-EG team, with 4 out of the 5 players that are in the house for EG playing in GSTL.

Third change is the join forces of  LG-IM with  SK.Gaming, meaning the same thing as for Slayers-EG, the players that are in Korea at the moment for SK.Gaming will play for the IM team in the GSTL.

With all this moves and roster upgrades, one thing is certain, the battle just got tougher, and each team will bring their aces to the table in order to be crown champion of GSTL Season #2.

After almost one year under the belt, a lot of events attended, two first placed, many podiums and some constant line-up changes,  Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm's team parts way with the Belgian software maker.

The news comes as a bit of a shocker, since the team did pretty well in the recent campaigns they had. The future of the team is uncertain as of yet, and as  BASiC stated he will most likely take a brake from Counter-Strike for the time beeing, meaning that it's possible the team will not continue together.

Also their participation in the  fnatic Play CS League is uncertain, as they curently are 1 for 1 same as  Moscow Five. The organisation did not post any news regarding future intentions, so we now cannot say what they will do next, meaning its possible they will pick another team or stop supporting this eSport discipline.

Current line-up of WinFakt was:

 Kimmo 'BASiC' Fagerholm
 Aleksi 'Allu' Jalli
 Timmi 'aslak' Verkkopera
 Hannu 'H^N' Pohjalainen
 Janne 'Methapor' Halinen

Here's a little movie made by  Agent 'athid' Eric, in which you can see some of the actions made by this team.
