CheckSix, with a storied history in eSports, and the newly emerging VPGamers are proud to announce a merger of two top North American teams that will strive to reach the forefront of the North American competitive scene. Check Six Gaming has been a fixture of the competitive gaming scene since its founding by Rich Howard in 2003. VPGamers' professional Starcraft 2 team was founded in early 2011 with such notable pickups as PainUser, ChAnCe, and Fargo.

Check Six's, Curt Carter, welcomes VPGamers, stating:

There could not be a better fit for CheckSix than VP. Their dedication, hard work and skill has become a staple of the community and we are very happy to have them as a part of our team. With this announcement, we would also like to welcome VP owner Michael Starr on to our team of directors as well. We are sure he will be just as beneficial to CheckSix as he was to VP. We hope you continue to support both teams in this new venture.


VPGamers’ Team Owner/Manager, Michael Starr, had this to say:

From myself and the players on VP, we are extremely excited to be working with such a great organization as CheckSix. The management and players are all great people to work with and are recognized for their talent, hard work and values that flow into exactly what our team believes in and continues to strive for. We await the start of this new endeavor and can't wait to produce the results the community deserves. Thank you to everyone who supported VPGamers and I trust you will continue to give the great support to our new home. Go CheckSix!


Check Six will retain its current Starcraft 2 roster, while VP will be bringing PainUser, ChAnCe, Fargo, HDStarcraft, Jemag, Syckness, Infused, Anthorn, and Suppy to the table in what is sure to be one of the strongest teams in North America. As usual, this merger would not be possible without the help of amazing support from our sponsors: TTeSports, Puretrak, and Gamers Uniform.

Why are teams always making themselves sound better than they are. Example

"announce a merger of two top North American teams "

I laughed at that.

Check Six and VP are two of the top NA based teams... you must not follow the NA teams very much bud...

Wow, sick news. Two of the most underrated NA teams merging. Alot of good news in ESPORTS going on right now.

Best of luck with the team.

I would call them top teams. They have extremely good players, many of them able to compete at the highest levels of play in the NA scene. Unless by "top" you mean like "top 3".

This seems like a really good merger as well. Makes sense for two lesser known teams to merge, otherwise it might be hard to compete with the giants such as EG and coL.

Just to clarify, VPGamers is first and foremost a casual clan based on community and good manner. The pro team, led by GeneralHans, was a different division led by different management. VPGamers will continue to exist as a casual clan and the elite team (the best players of the clan) plan to make a splash in the NA starcraft scene in the near future.

GL to xsix and all the guys I know who are going there.

xSix guys really need more publicity, I think a lot of not "hardcore" people don't understand how much they're ripping up faces. Good to see some VP guys in there too! No tQ ;~;

From another thread earlier in the month.

Kukuku xSix, showing off some now :D ^_^

Oh sorry they have one thing to show for all the money they spent and effort to create the team etc. They have 3 wins to show.

Excellent job bravo.

Not really being a dick... What has VP done to claim top team? xSix, I will agree with.

Just to clarify one thing VPGamers as an organization has not merged with check six...the VPGamers pro team run by Mike Starr has merged into check six. VPGamers will still opperate as a separate entity from check six and will still have it's own team. Some of which will still be members from the previous pro team.

Just wanted to make sure that's perfectly clear as VPGamers as an organization has not merged with check six.

I believe on the xSix roster page on their site they've cut down their roster quite significantly *from what I understand they have some inactives* - It's not as close to as big as Gosu's atm so nothing too crazy

Wow this is great stuff for both organizations. For those that hate on CheckSix and VP - they are just showing their ignorance. I know CheckSix was the #1 team in NA in ESEA League. They finished above EG and coL.

This should get bumped to community news.

xsix needs to send more players to events like IPL or MLG to get more recognition because they can beat some of the best out there...
But supporting this many players might be difficult.

Having Painuser alone already makes them a strong team. That isn't even factoring the other players such as fargo etc. You sir, are mistaken.

9+6 AHHHHHH 15 player oh noes!

What's wrong with having a bigger team?
Together they will get better... Some may leave (maybe not).

It should help all of them improve and I am sure as an organization they will benefit from each other.

Love how negative some people can be about decisions that don't affect them.

Edit: GL Hombres.

Mmm... neither were phenomenal individually, but hopefully they can synergize and produce something else. Right now there's room for another top American team

I have to admit that I don't know anything about these teams either, despite the fact that I read these forums like its my damn job. Good to see positive things happening for NA teams though! Actually I have heard of Thisisjimmy from MLG open bracket. Good luck to you guys

After thought: I probably just don't follow team leagues and smaller tournaments enough. It can be hard to break through at a tournament like MLG, especially now that they draw Korean players.

Edit: What other tournaments do these players participate in?

ESEA is our main team league; you should check into it as we are currently #1 and in Grand Finals with teams like EG, Complexity, VVV, etc.

Look up their TLPD to see their results. checksix has also beaten teams like fxo, col and eg in clan wars.

There are good players on both teams, but I doubt xsix can support all the players that are in roster. Are they going to send like ~10 ppl to every mlg now? XD

We never sent every single player to every single event, and we won't be doing it now. We know the roster is big, but we would not have done this if we did not know for sure that we can keep both the community and our players happy and keep our organization sound throughout.

Like I put on the community forums about this, I wish the former VP/new xSix guys all the best now that they are apart of a solid team like xSix.

At the same time, VP, as a community, will not fall down just because the pro team is moving on. VP still has a solid elite team that had been getting better and better and it will be great to see them as the sole focus of the VP community. I wish all the best for the former VP guys, but for those that are apart of the VP community, the community and the Elite team, will continue on and represent VP proudly.

As the leader/founder of VPGamers I wish you and all the rest of the former VP Pro team the best of luck. It won't be to long until you see some new VPGamers Players climbing the ranks.

We are still here, and have been doing online gaming since 2002. We are a multi-gaming platform and have hundreds of active members. We will not be going anywhere, instead we'll be growing even stronger. You haven't heard the last of us!! *fiendish laugh*

Seriously guys, GL out there and there is NO hard feelings or bad blood. I can't wait to get our first clan war against you guys going.

Just so everyone knows, VP did not merge with Check Six, the players were signed along with the pro team manager but VP still is going to maintain a pro team.
Somewhere, something amazing is waiting to be known.

I don't know if it should not be called a merger. More like a mass signing of the VP pro team. Cause from what I have read. VP still exists, and there is a VP proteam still, some players have stayed with them (VP).

Or am I wrong?

VPGamers is a community and then the pro team was created by me under VP - this team has merged with CheckSix. The community of VP has expressed their desire to start again and as such they will rebuild at a later date

He was in master league last time I checked..he obviously isn't a pro gamer if that what you're getting at...he's a full time commentator and you tube shout caster, cause that's how he makes his money...

I'm sure he could be better if he was able to "train", but it wouldn't make sense when he probably makes more money than most GM players.

We will be making an announcement in regards to VP's plans moving forward within the next few days. Rest assured you will still be seeing VPGamers players at events and in online competition. We have quite a bit more in store but my lips are sealed until we officially announce things.

Best of luck to those who left for check six.

I can see both sides.
NA professional teams that starcraft are their lives, yea they may not be in the top of that qualifying group, but,
NA teams of any kind (including gold/platinum teams) yea, they would be in the top tier % wise.

Everyone really needs to stop thinking that TL is the only site for SC2 information. If you can't even be bothered to look at the ESEA rankings, your spouting off your ignorance for us to see.

Congratulations to both teams, we're actually on our way to having a full NA league.

- VP Gamers A Team leaves VP Gamers, joins CheckSix
- VP Gamers B Team is now VP Gamers A Team
