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.

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.

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.

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.
