Panbazou Takes a ‘Step Back’ From R6 Competitive Play And DarkZero

Panbazou, who is considered one of the top Entry Fraggers in North American Rainbow Six Esports history, has taken a ‘step back’ from R6 Pro play.

DarkZero announced on November 20th 2025 that the long time DZ member would be leaving the team after 5 years with the organization. Panbazou made his debut in tier 1 with DarkZero in Stage 2 of 2021 and has been on the roster ever since. He was a crucial part of the Charlotte Major winning DarkZero team and was Major MVP.

Panbazou departs as number 45 on the all-time career Kills list and 25th all-time in career Entry Kills. Is this the end of a legendary career, or will we see Panba Party with another squad in the future?
