Lightning Pandas sign powerhouse EU team for CWL Vegas, confirming previous leaks
The Lightning Pandas esports organization have officially revealed their Call of Duty pro team heading into the $250,000 CWL Vegas tournament.
The org decided to go the EU route for their new CoD team, signing a roster that features English players Dylan ‘MadCat’ Daly, Alex ‘Alexx’ Carpenter, Adam ‘Peatie’ Peatie, and Joshua-Lee ‘Joshh’ Sheppard, as well as Welshman Dave ‘Dqvee’ Davies.
The announcement was made on November 30 via a post on the Lightning Pandas’ official Twitter page, just a week before CWL Vegas is scheduled to kick off.
Included in the announcement is a video highlighting the players’ best moments from the previous WWII season, during which MadCat and Joshh were teammates under Splyce for the latter half of the campaign.
It's time to cause some #Pandamonium. ⚡️:panda_face:

This announcement has not caught many people by surprise since the CoD World League had accidentally leaked the news several days prior.
The official schedule for CWL Vegas, released on November 27, listed Lightning Pandas in Group C instead of MadCat and co, who at the time had not yet announced their deal with LP.
