Team Empire announces changes in its Dota 2 roster. We are parting ways with Alexander Nix Levin. He will be replaced by Aybek Naive- Tokaev.

Young talent from Kazakhstan who is only 17 hasn't achieved great victories in the competitive scene yet. However he is currently seventh in European Dota 2 leader board.





Team Empire esports director, Alexander StrangeR Solomonov, released his commentary:



«Our last results showed us that we need changes. Unfortunately, today we are saying farewell to Nix. I feel no regrets about our choice during last transfer window: at first everything went just as planned but later we faced difficulties again.

We could see that Nix wasn't as comfortable in our team as we wished, and the main reason for replacement is that five players couldn't become one united team. We could risk and continue playing without changes but management chose another way. It can be even more risky but we have more faith in it.

Currently there are many free agents available and we chose young prodigy Aybek Naive- Tokaev aka TA2000. Although he is not experienced player Aybek shows great level of play and huge will to win. Congratulations on entering Team Empire!

We made one change, but everyone understands that it won't solve all our problems. A lot of hard work is ahead of us. We will play EPICENTER XL and qualifiers to major tournaments with our renewed roster. After that we will think about our next steps».

First match of our renewed squad is scheduled for tomorrow. We will face Vega Squadron.
