On March 10, the QPool management announced that QPool will discharge their international WarCraft 3 team, to focus more on their German team. The management thought it was wasted money, because they did not reach the WC3L.
In the qualifier for WC3L Season 9, QPool was considered one of the top players, mostly because of their Korean plaeyrs such as Shy, Ohjie and the Romanian player Crimson, who played in the Samsung Euro Championship not long ago. However, after first losing to LanFan 2-3 in the winner bracket, they fought their way through the loser bracket until they stumbled upon United 5, a match they also lost 2-3. They were really close in getting in, but yet another WC3L season without QPool.
No interest in QPool.WC3.int - no WC3L - no money
Now, couple of months after the start of WC3L, the QPool management announced that they have no more interest in their international team, mostly because no WC3L but also because they want to focus on their German WarCraft 3 team and their Counter-Strike squad. In an interview with HappY (picture) at MeetYourMakers, former manager of QPool, he says that together with Shy and Ohjie he will try to find a new clan and rebuild his squad. However, Happy does not sound 100% sure if he wants to go through with it.
- I'm not sure about if my motivation will be high enough to DO it, he says. He also says that he already had his dream team with the best guys in it.
FoCuS to WE, Neytpoh and Crimson said to leave the scene
FoCuS has already joined a new team - World Elite (read more » here), but where the other players are going is still unknown. Neytpoh has lost his motivation after the WC3L qualifier, and King.Crimson is said to leave the WarCraft 3 scene due to personal problems. But maybe the Samsung Euro Championship made him change his mind, even though he didn't reach that far.
GosuGamers wishes all the players the best of luck in the future, and hopes for the former QPool to rebuild its squad once again.
