9 Pandas secured their first victory with the updated lineup

The refreshed roster of 9 Pandas won their first match in the closed qualifiers of the Elite League in the Eastern European region. The team defeated NextUp with a score of 2:0.

The live broadcast recording of the match between the teams is available on YouTube.

Thanks to this victory, 9 Pandas advance to the next round of the upper bracket, where they will play against L1ga Team, while NextUp will compete in the first round of the lower bracket against Nemiga Gaming.

The latest changes in 9 Pandas occurred at the end of January when Gleb "kiyotaka" Zyrjanov returned to the team after a brief stint with L1ga Team.

It is worth reminding that the carry player of 9 Pandas, Mikhail "DarkLord" Blinov, promised fans to demonstrate a tough game in the qualifiers for the Elite League.
