QT DIG∞ release Pkm and margaret after contracts expire

QT DIG∞ have confirmed that Park “Pkm” Kang-min and Kim “margaret” Ji-woo are leaving the team after their contracts expired. Both players joined their first Japanese roster with QTD after spending their previous careers in all-Korean lineups.

margaret arrived during the offseason after 2025. He had represented Sin Prisa Gaming’s core in VCT Pacific with Nongshim RedForce before being benched midway through the season. He departed at year’s end, having primarily played Sentinel throughout his career.

Pkm joined QTD earlier this year before Japan Split 2 after competing for T1 Academy, Team IAM, SUPERFECT Esports and the original Nongshim RedForce. The Duelist reunited with margaret, and together they helped QTD win the Japan Season Finals after losing only two matches. The result secured a Pacific Stage 2 Play-In place, where QTD finished 0-2 but took maps from FULL SENSE and DetonatioN FocusMe. QT DIG∞ now list Kippei, Misaya, yuran and head coach Relife.

ColdMath take

The departures end a successful chapter for QTD, which reached the Pacific Stage 2 Play-Ins after winning Japan Season Finals. The team must now build around Kippei, Misaya and yuran with Relife as head coach.

For Pkm and margaret, the next step follows a title-winning domestic campaign and their first experience in a Japanese lineup.
