2019 Season[edit]
Due to the disappointment of the Summer Season GAM Esports would again make widescale changes, VCS rookie Top laner Yoshino joined the team. However, Calm and Blazes would only play Mid lane. Therefore Kiaya played all but three games in the VCS Spring Season, however the team would finish 5th again.
After a second failure to make playoffs GAM Esports again made large roster changes, acquiring Zeros and making Kiaya roleswap to mid lane, Kiaya would again play most games of GAM Esports' 1st place finish in the Summer Season and unbeaten run in the Playoffs.

The team had a 27-5 and Kiaya had an record of 20-4 and only losing more than one game to Yoshino's Team Flash.
Due to the teams domination, and Yoshino being unable to play due to illness GAM Esports was expected to win the Spring Playoffs, however after GAM became 2-1 behind after Kiaya performed poorly with a 1/5/5 KDA he would be substituted out and the team would lose Game 5 despite having a 5.6k gold lead at 18 minutes.
