Coach
Aleksandr "Coach" Marchant is the coach of Team Going Pro. He is a burnt out Russian ping pong veteran that was hired by Team Going Pro to train the team and lead them to victory. "Coach" has trouble remembering things, as evident by the amount of times he forgets things during team practice.

Beanz
Danz "Beanz" Gidlow (number 88) is a member of Team Going Pro. His nickname "Beanz" derives from his beanie he wears during the stream. He was found floating on a raft in the middle of the ocean, deprived of water, food and gaming. The team found him and recruited him.

Kevin McFarlane (number 06) is a member of Team Going Pro. He was found in the streets of Seattle sticking out of a trashcan, the team decided to pull him out and recruit him. Kevin defines himself as the "rusher" of the team.

Thumbs
Dexter "Thumbs" Manning (number 69) is a member of Team Going Pro. He was found in the streets of London, sitting in a pile of hay (according to Jordan, Dex however denies this). "Thumbs"' contribution to the team is his accent, his sex jokes, English banter, and of course, his thumbs. Another interesting fact about "Thumbs" is that he only uses a controller, contrasting the rest of his team's style who use a keyboard and mouse.

Shamerock
Seamus "Shamerock" O'Doherty (number 667) is a member of Team Going Pro.
