Everything good comes to an end. Today we're breaking up with one of the veteran Team Empire - Michael " Kas "Gaida. Mike joined our team in 2010, and since then we have c through a lot together. Not so long ago ended contract Casa and we decided not to renew it. It was a very difficult decision, because the Empire is difficult to imagine without Michael. But in light of his recent performances, given the current situation on the StarCraft II scene, this decision is quite reasonable. We thank the Casa for the time spent with us and wish him every success in finding a new home. We hope that it will become even more motivated and continue to improve their level of play. Thus in the active part of Team Empire remains only Happy . Well Kas forever take pride of place in the hall of fame of our team. Finally, let us recall the major achievements under the auspices of Michael Empire: 1st place - Copenhagen Games 2012 1st place - Ritmix RSL 1st place - WCG Ukraine 2011 1st place - ONOG Inv 1st place - Yegalisk Master League 1st place - dignitas Reverse Race 2 place - Techlabs Cup Moscow 2013 2nd place - TaKeTV Reloaded Invitational 3rd place - Intel Extreme Masters Kiev 2012 3rd place - WCG 2011 Grand Final 3rd place - ASUS ROG The GD Invitational 4th - Blizzard WCS ukraine 5-8 place - Intel Extreme Masters Katowice

One month after Empires april fools joke about Kas leaving the team.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/447515-kas-leaves-empire

Interesting.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Good luck Kas! It'll never be the same. The Empire tag always seem to go with that name.

WOW

Kas and empire parting way...That's almost impossible.
I mean i do not even say the word kas without ''empire'' anymore, its like his nick had merged with empire, they've been together for so long...

Its sad, so last match kas played under the empire banner was ATC empire-fntc vs TL...and he was the ace.
I hope kas finds a new team soon.
RIP MKP

Dang. Where to now?

And Empire with only one player seems silly...

Bummer.

Kas is the face of Empire in SC2 to me. He has fallen off a bit lately, though, hope that's not the reason.

Wow, I just can't picture Kas without being in Empire. It's like Grubby in the WC3 days as being part of 4K. But best of luck to Kas to wherever he goes.

Not surprised they made this decision, Kas was getting a lot less results and QQing a lot more. I wouldn't be surprised if he retires soon

Where did this come from?
I'll always associate Kas and Empire together. Good luck to him in the future
