The changes should not be surprising as SeleCT had announced his departure on his stream several hours ago, while Mini had left the QPAD team profile a few days ago. Although the team showed flashes of brilliance against some of the top teams, it was evident that they were unable to reach the desired level of consistency and made multiple role changes to little avail.
Mini will continue to look for other opportunities in the competitive scene while SeleCT has mentioned on stream regarding his desire to return to playing Starcraft 2 professionally.
QPAD gave the following statement regarding the changes:
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.

With both departures, Wagamama, SingSing, and JerAx will continue to play using stand-ins over the next few months. They will be holding trials for new members before settling down in the Summer. This should be interesting as traditionally there are multiple roster changes post The International, and we could see some interesting new additions. QPAD.Weppas + QPAD.2GD incoming, you heard it here first!
joinDOTA wishes SelecT, Mini, and the QPAD Red Pandas the best of luck in their respective new ventures. Stay tuned as we bring you further updates on the team's roster.
