EmpireKas is like IMMvp or MarineKingPrime, you can't just say the players name without the team.

Unfortunately, Russian organisations including Empire and RoX have been saying how hard it is to have a successful SC2 team, so whilst it's very sad, it was somewhat predictable :'(

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.


This. balance issues may be annoying for high level casuals and spectators but for a professional player they are career threatening. Sad day, wishing him the best in the future.

No huge surprise, but Kas was with Empire a long time and the two names will remain synonymous for quite some time when mentioning SC2

I'm not really surprised since most things I heard from Kas recently has been bitter complaining about game balance on his twitter...

Ahh damn. Kas was for a long time one of my favorite streamers and I was there to see him play live when he won Copenhagen Games. One of my absolute favorite terrans. I can only say good luck to Kas in his future endeavours.

I have had a little bit of a question mark over all the people screaming Terran UP everywhere. I play Zerg and I have noted Terrans doing very bad against P before the nerfs but never thought it was very serious beyond that. When people retire due to balance and in light of the recent PL matches I guess that Terran might be a bit underpowered vs Z since the mine nerf and they still seem to be struggling since the mine buff in TvP.

Don't really know what to say, how come its gotten to this point?
