Fighting Pandas are acquired by CR4ZY
By: Bob Tagulob
A few weeks before the minor, Fighting Pandas faced some difficult times after Jacky ‘EternaLEnVy’ Mao and Jingjun ‘Sneyking’ Wu left the team. With the team down to 3 players, the organization started to look for players that will be able to fill the void that was left by the departing players.
Fighting Pandas found Oliver ‘skiter’ Lepko and Maurice ‘KheZu’ Gutmann to complete their roster. With the roster now completed, this team has started to get ready for the minor this coming March 5-8, 2020. They also dropped the Fighting Pandas name.
CR4ZY took over the former Fighting Pandas team. This organization was known for its CS:GO team and later on, they sold their CS:GO team to have the funding in their movement to Dota 2. An official roster announcement is expected from CR4ZY on their social media today, currently, we have, Alexander Davis, who had the following to say;
“The recent acquisition of this roster is extremely exciting for me, I’ve been in love with Dota for a long time now and being able to work with legends in the game is very exciting for me, especially with the players from Fighting PandaS. I’m truly looking forward to working with Aui, due to knowing his leadership skills and knowing how to take a roster right through the International.
I think with the recent roster changes we’ve been given an opportunity to make some real improvements, I think the players we currently have can win this Minor. Unfortunately, with the roster change happening so close to the Minor we haven’t been able to practice as much as we’d like but I do still believe that they’ll be able to take it!
We are currently bootcamping at the Kinguin Facility in Poland, preparing for this Minor.”
