Today two Moscow esports-clubs will enter the stage of 4GAME gaming center and play the match of the third round of the NPCL championship. The match between forZe and Empire will continue the confrontation matches of 1.6 and Source teams. forZe played against the best russian source team, MGC, quite good. They were one step from winning them but lost in an amazing fight at de_train. That match finished in a draw. Empire played a little better, though their opponent was more titled. On the 9 of November Empire knocked out the winner of the previous season - Begrip Gaming. Today Empire will meet quite the same opponent as Begrip. The similarity is obvious even in rosters. The 5th player of Begrip at the match was Maksim "Nirvana" Zalilov, and the 5th of forZe will also be the team's manager - Nikita "smb" Bokarev. Unfortunately the rosters can be changed only during the transfer period which will start on the 18 of December.

So, Empire have a good opportunity to kick forZe from the 1st place and take their spot.
