9StorM vs. Pandemic MOTW Overview
Being that both teams have a season of ESEA-I under their belts, neither team should have the first-week jitters. However, after a disappointing ESEA-I Season 4 (2-14), 9StorM is out certainly out for revenge. Pandemic's decent showing last season should give them a bit of confidence (9-7), although they narrowly missed Season 4 play-offs by a single position. Both teams are looking to get a good start to the season, so be sure to watch and find out which team comes out on top.
