Here's the announcement, im parting ways with Team Empire, statement here:
Today I’m leaving team, I had been representing for 3,5 years. If I’m not mistaken, I never been in any team for such a long period of time, so, it feels a bit weird. Sad, but, everything end’s once in a while. In before I would say, that, this announcement is not a sudden surprise for me, it’s been decided back in mid-summer.

I remember, how hesitant I was, while thinking about becoming a part of, back then, very young and upcoming team Empire back in 2011, how distrustful I was towards the team. Fortunately, I quickly realized, that Empire is a serious and stable team, and that Empire at that moment could have given me support, that I didn’t have even back in the time, when I was Warcraft 3 player.

Not everything been perfect in the team at times, but, I have no shame to say, that, out of those teams I had been part of, Empire proved themselves from the best side.

I don’t regret about spending my time here, but, as I wrote above, nothing lasts forever. Time is going, team’s priorities change, StarCraft II is not having the best times right now (and would there be a better times – nobody knows).

I would like to thank all the people I had business with, those who still work with Team Empire, and those who worked before.

In the first place, I would like to thank current CEO of Empire – Stranger, for trying to convince me to join the team for such a long time, before it actually happened. For all the work he did, to build up the team, and continues to build, though, in the other direction now. I wish him luck and all the best in future!

Also I would like to thank team Empire owner’s – Sarmat and Nevod, without them, team would not exist at all.

Regarding my future – I will be honest, even though my financial matters aren’t going bad in this year (I visited few tournaments this year, but only one of them left me without prize), but, I don’t really see any perspective in StarCraft II.

No, I will not retire, or, to name it better, I don’t have it in my plans. I don’t think I will be able to find team in current situation, so, I think, I will be team less for a while.

-Happy

Happy is such a consistent player, there rly should be a team to pick him up.

Fnatic could use an extra Terran, and they're the kind of stable team that a player of Happy's caliber deserves.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

I don't think fnatic will pick any sc2 players up anytime soon. Their LoL and DOTA teams are the real moneymakers, and CarN is always going to be biased towards their pretty good CS:GO team.
That said, I think he would be a pretty good pickup for another team. With the lack of CIS orgs these days in starcraft, I wonder if acer or MyI have their eye on him...
My prediction though is Alien invasion as they have the money since Golden has retired, or Vega Squadron as they are the last decent Russian team left

And now my favorite team during WoL has no players i cheer for... I loved Kas, Beastyqt and Happy were in the same team. I guess Empire will focus more on Dota 2.

Really hope Happy comes to find a passion for Starcraft. He's a great player even though playing Starcraft is just a job to him. If he were passionate and aspiring to be the best, it could be interesting to see how good he could become.

Legacy of the Void really can't get here soon enough. We need something to revitalize the scene :/

Damn that sucks. Happy is one of the most dedicated foreigners in the scene. Hope he can get picked up, he really deserves a team environment.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.
