Team Pandemic - News - Pandemic, GotFrag CoD4 Champions

The inaugural Gotfrag Call of Duty 4 Tournament, which featured twenty-nine of the best teams from North America and Europe, has finally come to close. After six weeks of intense online competition, Pandemic has emerged once again champions.

Heading into the event as one the favorites and #1 seed, the defending CEVO-P champs and top-ranked squad in North America did not disappoint. "The guys came out on fire," said Chris Lemley, manager of Team Pandemic. "I was concerned this might be a vulnerable spot for us, maybe time for a letdown with all the negative news surrounding the CoD scene of late... I couldn't be more proud to see them still working hard and still clinging to their reputation they've worked so hard to obtain."

After sweeping through bracket play without a blemish, their grand finals matchup would see them pitted against new rivals PureEsports in a best-of-three maps showdown. Pandemic needed only two, their selection of mp_strike and Pure's of mp_vacant, to become the champions.

Team captain Joe "nabore" Amorosa added "It's nice to add another trophy to the wall, especially from such a prestigious event. It seems that winning is something in life that never gets old to me... the feeling is the same now as it was 6 years ago when I first started playing. I want to thank MLG/Gamebattles for hosting this smooth event and Pure Gaming for showing up to play a great finals."

Third place: x3o - $250
