- International Championship Series:
For this year ICS, the Pirates confronted the Nang Nius. Why not the Freros didn't participate in it, despite their win in the LBL ? I just forgot to change the team from last year for the LBL
, so let's say they refused to take part in the competition for whatever reason and the runner-ups kindly accepts to replace them.
The Pittsburgh Pirates won their first MLB championship this year. In Narballo, they lost 4-2 to the Nang Nius, which are now won the third latest editions of the ICS.
