Kiaya continued the trend of joining a team that defeated his previous team in playoffs by joining GAM Esports in the regions largest roster change with Eighteen roster changes in the VCS/2018 Season/Summer Season alone, with the large roster instability Kiaya shared time with Blazes and Calm and played seventeen games domestically and four games at Rift Rivals,where he mostly playing carries such as Ryze and Kennen.
The Split would be disappointing for GAM Esports, finishing 3rd at Rift Rivals and missing the playoffs of VCS finishing 5th in the VCS/2018 Season/Summer Season
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.

As both Zeros and Yoshino left the team and while despite Zeros returning due to the 2019–20_Coronavirus_Pandemic, Kiaya returned to toplane and would play most games in GAM Esports domination of the split, finishing 1st and only losing one series. 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.
