Introducing teams ESV Tempest and ESV Widlfire!

First up we have ESV Tempest formerly known as Tempest Black. Consisting of many veterans of the alpha, this team has been a top up and coming team for a long period of time. With the additions of Toejamnearl and Nightmare, the team felt like a great fit for an ESV team. The merging of ESV and Tempest will be a strong contender for the ECS!



The ESV Tempest roster will be: Treble, Pithix, Pelleon, Toejamnearl, Nightmare



Next up is another team that looks to be a strong up and coming team is ESV Wildfire. The team did not have a name previously but contains players that every high MMR player has seen many time.
