Wie der US-amerikanische Clan Pandemic auf seiner Homepage bekanntgibt, verpflichtet man das Team Mafia of Brothers. Das Team wird an den Onlineligen CEVO-P und ESEA-I sowie an den größeren amerikanischen LAN-Veranstaltungen und Qualifikationen teilnehmen. Die erste Chance das Lineup im Dress von Pandemic zu bewundern, wird es bei den KODE5 US-Finals geben.
Statement von Chris Lemley, Präsident von Pandemic:
„I’ve looked forward to this day for some time. Pandemic’s roots are in CS and it’s a move that’s long overdue. I put alot of time and consideration into what our 2009 roster would be, and we evaluated many teams and individuals in the process… we certainly appreciate all those who expressed interest in playing for our organization. When it was all said and done, I simply couldn’t put my faith and full support anywhere else. It’s good to be back.“
Statement von Vincent ‚MoB Godfather‘ P., Manager von MoB:
„We thank Chris and Pandemic for working out a fair, undisclosed sale after it was apparent our organization was going in a different direction. MoB will continue to stay focused on eSports as a whole, in both PC and console, but will not sign a new Counter-Strike team until we feel it is in ours and the team’s best interest to continue down that road. We wish the new Pandemic CS team the best of luck in 2009.“
Lineup Team Pandemic:
Noah ‚StrikeR‚ Alvarado
