WIP Parts Ways with Tsuboi and Raoyamu Following Contract Expirations

Wakayama Indomitable Panda (WIP) announced that Guilty Gear Strive player Tsuboi and Street Fighter 6 player Raoyamu will leave the organization on May 31 following the expiration of their contracts. In its statement, WIP thanked both players for their time with the team and expressed its continued support for them going forward.

Tsuboi has been one of Japan's most recognizable Guilty Gear competitors for years, with major results across multiple Arc System Works titles and appearances on some of the biggest stages in the genre. His departure, alongside Raoyamu's, marks the end of an era for WIP's fighting game division and leaves both players available for new opportunities ahead of the next competitive season.
