PSISTORM Gaming and World of WarCraft

It’s been a few months but this is an official announcement that PSISTORM Gaming has had the pleasure of acquiring a community based esports org by the name of TBD – To Be Determined. This org has a foundation in World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and the FGC. We’re very excited to begin telling the story of this 11 year old team and how their journey has led us to work together for a better future.

“I’ve been asked a lot by some fans and WOW people if there was truly a team masquerading as PSISTORM Gaming, asking if they were real or pretending. Unfortunately I couldn’t respond to this as we have not finalized the deal and gotten signatures. So, now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak, I can say we are excited to see what this brings our team and fans.”, said KJ Freeedom, owner and founder.

About TBD

To Be Determined was founded on March 24, 2008 and has been a consistent, growing, and stable multi game community since its inception. We’ve had teams represent us at the highest level in CS 1.6, Warcraft 3 Dota, Dota 2, Rocket League, Injustice 2, Blaze Blue, Pokken, Dive Kick, World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Magic the Gathering, and Poker.

Our goal has always been to grow with our players. Put players and community first when it comes to our team. PSISTORM Gaming has the same culture that we’ve built over such a long period of time and we’re very excited to expand our opportunities together. We think it’s a great fit that can only make us better. 

Our core foundation has always been World of Warcraft and we have a few stories that over the next months we’d like to introduce you to.
