Here is the official statement from Matt Marcou at Verge-Gaming.net:

“My departure from Verge Gaming may come as a shock to some, but I feel it is a natural move for me in order to progress my career and follow my ambitions,” said Marcou, “It was a very exciting time in my life and I will carry my experiences, knowledge, and friendships forward into my next position. It is difficult in many respects to leave behind something that I have created and brought to life with my own hard work and finances. However, I feel that I’ve reached some boundaries as far as what I am able to accomplish on my own. I know I can achieve greater things and bring more to the eSports industry with a stronger infrastructure and equally talented individuals around me. I’d like to thank all of those who helped me along in this journey of crafting one of the best eSports franchises in North America and the support from fans and friends that kept me going.” “I’m extremely honored to say that I have found this new opportunity in Team Pandemic. My history with the team goes back to the early days of the Counter-strike: Source scene when Pandemic faced a young verGe at the very first Source tournaments. Since then I have developed a strong trust with Mark Dolven and Chris Lemley as well as a deep respect for what they have accomplished with Pandemic. Dolven is a tough act to follow, but I will give it my best in helping Chris bring the Pandemic brand to greater heights.”
