You can read the full announcement on their site. As I understand it, 4Kings will not be able to represent the UK due to their Swedish members. This means we will either see TAG, i-eS, or a mixture of the UK's best carrying the Union Jack. Either way, good luck Team-UK!

I think with this sort of prize money, the best players are going to be the ones that play. TAG might not like people playing in the CB (prizeless) nations cup, but I bet that would change if the members knew they could get a part of 20,000 euro...
Anyway looking forward to this ;) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
