The former Pandemic.TF2 team has been picked up by the brand new e-Sports organisation Loaded.

A few days ago we reported that the team left the Pandemic organisation on good terms. According to Pandemic's owner Chris Lemley they left the organisation to make "a move for their own enjoyment". It is now clear that the team will help the new Loaded LLC get a good spot in the world of e-Sports.

The new multi-gaming organisation Loaded is aiming to become a big player with "top-caliber gaming teams". Although the organisation is in its early stages of development, they already got Thermaltake on their side as main sponsor. This sponsor will provide Loaded's teams with hardware and cover their costs for LAN events.

On the official website of Loaded we find the following statement:

We have high hopes for this team considering their recent first place finishes in both CEVO-P Season 3 and ESEA-I Season 2. The team has since lost Michael “Jaeger” Marcin but picked up Mithun “animeman” Balachandran and Vijal “viju” Patel to bolster their roster in his absence. Mr. Balachandran previously played for top-notch TF2 teams ranging from eMg to Eximius while Mr. Patel played Quake 3 professionally and plays Quake Live at the highest levels.

“I am really excited to see the new TF2 team come aboard.” said Brandon Freytag, CEO of Loaded LLC, “With support from Thermaltake and the experience of our staff, Loaded will be able to provide what TF2 has been missing. We at Loaded are looking forward to what is in store ahead.”

The new Loaded.TF2 line-up is:

Daniel “carnage” Sturdivant
Carl “enigma” Yangsheng
Manuel “SoLID SnaKE” Sy
Kyle “relic” Mims
Evan “GluE” Aschow
Mithun “animeman” Balachandran
Vijal “viju” Patel
