Excello vs. Pandemic. The match we have already seen. But, have we really?

The last time these two teams faced each other was in the EMS Upper Bracket Quarter-Final. After an enthralling 4 map showdown, Excello finally managed to come out on top and advanced to the next round. 4 Kings were already waiting for Excello and knocked them straight down to the Consolation Bracket. Pandemic on the other hand had an easier way into this Final, with Clan United not being able to field a full team and Team uber not offering much resistance.

However, both teams will enter the match heavily weakened: Pandemic's team captain and lead Scout "oPlaiD" will not be able to attend, while on Excello's side Medic inS has already headed off to China.

Will history repeat itself, or will we finally get to see the long awaited 4 Kings vs. Pandemic final?

Lineup Excello:       appe, fette, glufse, russi, sommie, weqo
Lineup Pandemic:  alexwut, carnage, hubris, newby, REP, Reptile, TheFragile

Statement from Leigh Smith // Deman

I'm really looking forward to this match, the last time we covered these guys it lasted nearly 2 hours and was incredibly close with pandemic first leading then the golden cap and xlo finally taking victory.

I am hoping for more of that and I'm glad that A_Spec will be alongside me for when I run out of breath! There's some great players in both sides that can turn the game so fast it could really go either way.

Statement from Matt Hoving // A_Spec

Pandemic deserved to be in the upper bracket final, sadly enough they were horribly shafted with the rules that didnt take in account the stopwatch mode. We havent seen their normal line up yet so it should be interesting.

xlo should be in for a hard game, with their medic missing and their demo filling the gap it will be hard for them to get into their regular groove. Its a good thing that they have such a great scout duo or they would be in real trouble

Statement from Ricky Eriksson // sommie

Pandemic is sure to be thirsting for revenge after us sending them to the loser's bracket a couple of weeks ago. With the lack of the Tf2 scene's most level-headed medic, ins, we're looking at a tough game.

Wielding prior experience of clan war medic usage, the substitute will be no other than Russi, and with the elusive Fette and glufse behind enemy lines combined with weqo's and appe's insatiable hunger for frags, this clash has all the components needed for a spine tingling thriller! so be sure to catch the HLTV-ip from #cadred when the time comes!
