Two months ago the management and the majority of players on the VP professional players left for new and promising opportunities with Check Six Gaming. Indeed their accomplishments (and those of xSix as a team) are to be commended. But we at VP were given a fresh start with new faces and new talent. Today we are glad to announce that we are jumping up to the next step in the North American scene. We at VP and tQ are proud to announce that we are joining forces in order to continue our quest to become one of the top teams in North America. By combining the best and brightest of both our teams, as well as bringing on some top rated new-comers, we hope to hit the ground running and become one of the very best. Special thanks to our sponsor Nationvoice for being so supportive during our efforts.
Here is the new VP Professional Team Roster:
Mewtwo
WannaBe
yrUSECC
Tyrant
Infused
aseohyeon
Ewic
Sonic
Justinius
Archon
Radament
Cry
Petrify
Aisarang
Astronomy
obZen
Jazzy
Imyt
Snorlax

As the Founder and President of VPGamers since 2002 it seems that we are heading into the right direction with a new super successful team that can now be, and will be, taken seriously in the Starcraft 2 Community. I cannot wait to see the types of matches in the upcoming months; I truly am grateful for this opportunity and honored to have the community behind me helping VPGamers be an overall great experience for anyone. 2012 is going to be an excellent year, if not our strongest, with our great new management team and players in the competitive gaming scene.
-Gamathor: founder of VPGamers
Even though we are sad to leave behind the name tQ and all its history and success, it is time for a new beginning. I am quite happy about this venture and feel both parties will greatly benefit. The VP community could not be more welcoming and I am excited to truly show our dominance in the North American Starcraft 2 community.
-Gordok: Manager of Think Quick Gaming
VP comment about the VP EU player search tourney fiasco:
In light of the recent tourney failures we at VP feel that we have to clarify our involvement with this event. The VP EU team was made and organized under the former Pro Team management. When they left to go to Check Six we had no more contact with them and assumed they had died. Charlie (OPtv on TL) recreated the team and organized the tourney independently without the knowledge of the VPGamers admins. We apologize for all the inconvenience that the players, casters, and spectators had. VPGamers is a community that has a strict anti bm policy and we will do our best to regain the trust of the community.

Everybody left tQ, they had no choice but to merge. That said, VP has proven to be an excellent organization in the past and I expect great things to come from them in the future.
Good luck guys!

Check out the bottom of the original post. That should explain your question about the tournament. We at VP have no affiliation with the individuals on the EU side who claim VPGamers. We do apologize for the wrong doings of that individual to the individuals who were going to partake in the tournament, cast, and watch, but we do not have any association with those individuals.

VP is a legit organization don't question that, although I cannot speak on behalf of their management, I know that this merger will due justice to the remaining players for the better.
Give them your support they still have so many names with such huge potential they just need community backing. You saw what the last VP elite team was capable of

Good luck to both teams involved and I hope to see some great stuff come out of you both.
|
This is a very exciting time and will be a great 2012 for VP and all its new members.

Yeah, where did TQORGETSLAMT go? He was good as well eh? (GM)
|
slamt went to Covergence Gaming before the merge I believe
|
yrusecc/sungpa is extremely underrated, he's a very good player and an awesome pickup for VP

Here's what happened to tQ:
- WinteR and aquanda to xSix, WinteR brings in Gordok to be new manager
- Kyo and SLAMT to Convergence Gaming
- Sky and Drone to Clash
- Dante and Zander to Rev
- Gordok talks merger with VP
Basically everybody left before any merger talks with VP, so there were no hard feelings or ill will towards VP, this just happened after everyone had moved on. VP is a fantastic team and tQ did well in merging with them.

Thanks so much for all the good feedback! I really appreciate it!

Sungpa, Wannabe and Tyrant are all fantastic players, good pick up i thought they would go to another team. The 2 Uvic players on the other hand..... Now will they finally believe that Tyrant and Xog are 2 different players...??? What a bunch of jokes lol :S

THANKS ALL we really love the support

Concerning your website, if you're going to carry on using the Dominion theme, please make it look better, as of right now that site looks unprofessional!
Your favicon also doesn't match the site at all
Forums: you could possibly integrate it with the Dominion theme so it looks a part of the actual site etc!
Best of luck!

Congrats on the merger guys. I have and will always miss my days with tQ. Good luck to you all in the future.

you guys misspelled sponsor on your news article title "Ventrilo Sponsership"
i would think potential sponsors would be deterred by that misspelling.

The .ico file is is being redone as well as our forum template. It will end up matching completing the entire experience on our website to be one look. You would be the first to say our site looks unprofessional however I'm sure you won't be the last.
Thanks for the criticism and we'll take it under consideration for in the future.
