Call Of Duty: Team Pandemic add skinz

Pandemic make a switch before CEVO-Professional enters playoffs.
Less than twenty-four hours after being crowned champions of TGL’s Last Stand tournament, Team Pandemic have moved Khiem “le” Le to a backup position.  Le had joined Pandemic several months back after former long-term member Matt “miller” Miller decided to step away from competitive gaming. Le is being replaced in the starting lineup by former Check-Six all-star David “skinz” Patnode. To many, it comes as a surprise that Pandemic would make a roster move this late in the season, however, some suspected that they had been taking a look at skinz for some time now.

With a 10-2 record in CEVO-Professional, Pandemic find themselves in 3rd place with a playoff seed guaranteed. Three matches remain in the regular season and one of them is against the second place Frag Dominant club. A win over Frag`dom with another victory over either Eximius or 20id and Pandemic would secure themselves the number two seed. Just over a week removed from the NERV LAN, Pandemic eliminated Nexus from the TGL semifinals by winning a best of three match 2-0. Their return to form is sure to be accelerated by the addition of skinz as he brings years of top competitive experience to the team both online and on LAN. Team leader Joe "Nabore" Amorosa comments: "We felt we needed to make an improvement to our roster before the summer LANs.  We know that Le is talented and can compete with the best of them in the USA, but on an international level we felt this improvement will push us over the top and allow us to compete abroad appropriately.  Skinz brings a bunch of veteran LAN experience to the squad, and after competing against him for years, I'm glad he's on our side now.  Skinz will start for the squad effectively on Sunday for the Week 6:2 match."

Roster:

 Joe "Nabore" Amorosa
 Justin "prank`" DeMara
 Keith "keith" Hullenaar
 Jason "crzg" Pielemeier
 David "skinz" Patnode
 Khiem "le" Le
