Chappie joined Team Empire again

News has appeared on the Team Empire website that Vladimir 'Chappie' Kuzmenko will coach the Dota 2 roster. He has experience performing under the Empire tag. The player played for Team Empire from 2017 to 2018. Vladimir, along with his teammates, was able to make it to The International 2017, but due to visa problems, Chappie was unable to attend the LAN tournament. His place in the tournament was taken by Roman 'Resolut1on' Fominok, and Empire, as a result, took 7-8th place in the championship.
