Point-Blank become royalty!

The British multigaming organization Four Kings announced earlier the creation of their academy section with the addition of Pro Evolution Soccer player Gordon "Wallace" Hislop, and the French Team Fortress 2 team Cursed Gaming. The current CoD4 team has also been moved to the academy. This evening, they were able to reveal another addition, in the form of the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars side formally known as Point-Blank.
Whilst Point-Blank haven't picked up any major acheivements thus far, they're currently undefeated in the Clanbase OpenCup, and have qualified for the ESL Major Series. It's expected that with their new support that they'll be attending both Multiplay i33 and Crossfire Devotii Challenge 4 in early 2008.

Adam "Hazz" Nicholls, ETQW manager gave the following statement
We are all very pleased to be given the opportunity of representing 4K in ETQW. Our team aims to play at the highest level and place well in as many tournaments as the scene has to offer.
It is a great privilege to be representing a team with such a reputation and we look forward to doing well with their support.
New TF2 player, Michael 'Mick' Fernandez had the following to say about joining 4Kings:
We are really proud to be the first Team Fortress 2 clan to wear the colors of one of the biggest multi-gaming team ever, and we hope that it's going to help to promote the game in the European fps scene, that's a big opportunity to us and we will do our best to help our new team by winning the more titles we can. I would like to thanks Ben for the trust he gave to us.
Here's what Gordon 'Wallace' Hislop had to say about joining up with 4Kings:
I'm very happy to be joining 4Kings, I hope to achieve and score many goals and win every tournament I participate in. The reason why I chose 4Kings over other teams is their history and the reputation they have in gaming, In football terms I always thought they were the Manchester United of esports so it was a simple descision to make.

4 kings manager, Ben Woodward gave the following statement:
Finally, we've opened our academy and i honestly cannot think of four better games to be part of it. On one hand you have PES which is actually very popular but it hasn't seen overwhelming support from eSports teams, we hope it'll continue to grow with our involvement. TF2 on the other hand is only recently released and already has a pro circuit in the USA with CEVO putting up $5000 prize money for it. We're hoping something similar will happen in Europe and if it does, i feel we have the best players possible. I've played with or against every one of members of 4K.TF2 in TFC and i know their ability.

Cod4 will obviously become pretty big very quickly, as was proved with CoD2, ETQW is fairly new and has only really had one major tournament thus far, that being Quakecon.

The ultimate goal of the 4Kings academy is to further promote these titles and others, hopefully over time we'll see each of these games become very popular and we'd like to say we've been part of it's development.
