In mid-November, Cassisi unexpectedly left the former WCG 2007 champion emuLate's roster in order to form his own team. The new team, Essential, was formed by Cassisi and a few other top French stars including 2 members of Against All Authority at the time.

However, it has now been made official that Cassisi has returned to his former team. This return marks the end of the temporary stint with the team for former aAa player, Guillaume "Geno" Ntep, who had been filling in the 5th roster spot over the past couple months.

With Ntep's departure and the return of Cassisi, emuLate has regained its roster which helped the team achieve a 1st place finish at the WCG Grand Finals in 2007.

The roster consists of:
Michael "HaRts" Zanatta
Mathieu "R!Go" Bridet
Mathieu "MaT" Leber
Jeremy "ioRek" Vuillermet
Mickael "mSx" Cassisi
