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

Interesting.

I was thinking "I could have sworn I saw this happen like, a month ago... Is this just the official statement??" but I guess that must have just been the April Fool's joke, which humorously came true!!

I suspect retirement or a solid pickup by an EU team.

Man, Empire without Kas, Kas without Empire......
I can't believe it... damn
From TSL 3 and his run to the Ro4 with that memorable series with Thorzain, he was definitely a player I enjoyed watching...
Hope he finds a new team soon ! Good luck Kas !

Empire without Kas is kinda like Mousesports without Mana. It just doesn't sound right.

But in light of his recent speeches, given the current situation on the StarCraft II scene, this decision is quite reasonable.


Just to clarify, because this really confused me when I read the translation, in Russian the same word can mean both speech and performance. Which really makes it sound like they straight up cut him.

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


It's not like Kas ever stopped playing the game. He is one of the most devoted players out there practicing; with usually 1k plus games per season (on his main). People don't realize that the STOG impacts peoples livelihood. I think you would "QQ" too if your contract was not renewed b/c balance issues over the last 8 months resulted in the underperformance of Terran. He is a great player and it is sad to see Empire was forced to make this decision.
How much better to get wisdom than gold; to get insight rather than silver!
