(found at gotfrag.com nov1, 07) - In a stunning off-season move, just hours after the end of the CEVO-P Season 4 Championship playoffs, Mike "paradox" Stanowski is leaving the Pandemic fold to join Team Turmoil. Team Pandemic's roster page confirms it, with the visage of Stanowski noticeably absent from the CS:S lineup.

GotFrag's Carlos "r3b0und" Mercado spoke with Stanowski about the move:

Okay, the first question is, obviously, why did you decide to leave Pandemic and join Team Turmoil?

I left Pandemic because it was becoming a bad environment for me. Nothing against the guys as I'm not blaming them completely, but things were slowly beginning to go downhill. My play and motivation declined greatly as a result and I wanted what was best for both parties. A team I play on deserves 100% of my effort and ability and Turmoil gives me a platform on which to shine on."

You were with this lineup from the Verge days, was it hard to leave them for this project?

Yes and no. It's always difficult to part with long time friends and teammates but it has happened before so the whole sentimental deal didn't hit me much. I'm excited as ever about this game and my future so that overshadows anything else to do with my move.

How do you feel about your new teammates? Do you think you will be able to mesh well with them?

Naturally I feel that they're all great people and players as well. I've already meshed pretty well in the couple days we've played together and we can only get better. I love the always positive and relaxed atmosphere that they set which is supportive and positive.
