Kipsate Profile Joined July 2010 Netherlands 15304 Posts #1 Today we are sad to announce the departure of two QPAD Red Pandas players. After the International Qualifiers the departing players re-evaluated their long term goals with the team and decided to part ways.



SeleCT the former SC2 Professional is now home in Seattle and considering returning to SC2 to compete in Blizzard's World Championship Series. We wish him the best of luck if he decides to return to SC2 full-time and thank him for his time and dedication with the team during his DotA 2 career. You can follow

his stream and career @ twitch.tv/selectkr



Mini, Former in-game leader of the QPAD Red Pandas still wishes to compete in Dota2, but will do so outside of the current QPAD Roster which currently consists of Wagamama, Sing & Jrx. We thank Mini for his time and professionalism as a leader during his stay at QPAD and wish him all the best with his future gaming endeavors. You can follow his stream and career @ twitch.tv/minidota



The QPAD Red Pandas will continue to play out all tournaments they have signed up to using stand-ins over the next months.

Potential new team-mates will be trialed over the summer with the goal being to have a full roster by the end of the Summer.



Make sure you follow the team and their stand-in adventures this Summer on Sing & Waga's Streams at twitch.tv!



PS. In b4 QPAD.2GD.

Was sort of expected, the improvement wasn't really noticeable and there were gaping holes in their play. Select was just way too behind imo. Will be interesting to see who they attempt to pick up after. source :Was sort of expected, the improvement wasn't really noticeable and there were gaping holes in their play.

Mini along with SingSing are the only two that perform admirably. You must gather your party before venturing forth.

Good luck to rest of QPAD. Hopefully they'll find replacements fast enough. On May 27 2013 00:32 Andr3 wrote:

Select would fall into the category of "getting rid of", but i'm pretty sure Mini left by himself. Unless there was some dispute inside the team.

I dunno kinda looks like select left by himself as well. Anyway I think it's good for qpad. The team just didnt work. Simple as that. Good luck in the future.

Ravensong170 Profile Joined June 2012 United States 502 Posts #12 who didn't see this coming? After how poorly QPAD has been playing it was to be expected that the roster would change around. And select was definitely their weakest link.



GL to both with whatever. Select is better at SC2 than DOta





Hopefully QPAD doesn't mess around with the rest of their roster. They have a team house, and a sponsor, and they aren't doing much with it right now. Hopefully we see something from them this summer.

2gd said on stream they gave select the choice, if he wanted to continue pursuing dota he had a place with the team, if not they would let him out of his contract to do other things.

I heard rumours about Mini, but I'm genuinely surprised since he and Waga always seemed like a combined package. I wonder if he's putting Dota completely on the backburner? 2gd said on stream they gave select the choice, if he wanted to continue pursuing dota he had a place with the team, if not they would let him out of his contract to do other things.---I heard rumours about Mini, but I'm genuinely surprised since he and Waga always seemed like a combined package.

The statement says he isn't, he is looking for another team. The statement says he isn't, he is looking for another team.
