NoShang Invitational bid farewell to Team Empire. The CIS team has withdrawn from the event. Their departure comes after losing their first series 0:2 to COOKISS. The team has cited roster issues as the main reason and will not be replaced in the event.

The organizers for NoShang Invitational have announced today that Team Empire have withdrawn from the event. The team cited roster issues as the reason, having lost Roman “Resolut1on” Fominok to the North American team Digital Chaos on February 4th.

Unfortunately we have decided to withdraw from NoShang Invitational. We are testing different players and playing with several stand-ins and that will go in the near future. Some players who we test at the moment and will test soon have already played or will play for the other teams on this tournament. Because of tournament rules we can’t use them and that makes the participation in the tournament senseless

Team Empire had dropped to the lower bracket and were scheduled to face the loser from the match between Samurai Champloo and Tornado RoX.
