Nice pickup on PainUser. I assume he's going to juggle casting for IGN and mass gaming for VPGamers; hope he can redeem himself in future tournaments and potentially upcoming MLG's; he was a solid player back in the first season of MLG.

I love teams like VPgamers because they allow rising talents to have a great enviroment to improve. Great job.

Nice, I guess. I just don't understand this combined with Painusers talk about not being able to work and play at the same time. Just watch the latest episode of Inside the game.

Is he quiting IGN or is this more of a hobby team?

They are both players, HD as a player obviously has a lot of improvement to make but everyone started somewhere right? As for Painuser, the situation with NASL had to do with scheduling games for work hours so there is no reason he can't ladder and play tournaments/practice in his spare non-working/casting times. Once a competitor always a competitor and he's very excited to start working on his game again. Not to mention playing helps you understand the metagame better as a caster

EDIT: I'm interested to see how strong HD will be.

iirc, he was in platinum when it was the highest league.

You guys should consider recruiting Husky. I hear he's a beast in 4v4s.

You can catch one of his games on MLG, I believe it was the first or second year.

This is obviously a promotional ploy, but maybe painuser will start playing well again, but I doubt it with his time restraints

Sorry, I went on your site and I can't find anywhere where it says what VP stands for.

Is it Very Professional? I've seen VP Cursed beat Whiplash, it was quite good at the TL Open.

Woot HD and Painuser on the same team! Cant wait to see what damage they will do in tournaments!

Good work!

HD won't do any damage although Pain.User could if he resumes his old form.

Congrats to all parties.

HD did pretty well against Spades i believe in the MLG he competed in. His only problem was that he made some bad decisions because he was nervous. But it was still pretty close.
