After internal house cleaning of the Call of Duty 4 squad, 4Kings have announced the finalized line-up for 2008.

Today's announcement marks the second month anniversary of 4Kings return to Call of Duty, and despite a prolonged hush regarding potential replacements, the team that will be representing the UK giant has been announced.

The initial roster changes were met with a healthy amount of cynicism, many believing that the British players were wasting the opportunity handed to them by the most successful British organisation and g7 member, Four Kings. Three of the original members, Crow, junior and wiz abruptly parted ways with the team, much to the delight and scrutiny of CoD's established media and the European community in general.

Stuart 'TosspoT' Saw's comments perfectly summed up not only the teams prospects, but the UK scene in general; 'An incestuous yet potentially brilliant line up'. Many will find fault with that statement.

3rd: Crossfire QCUP [Online]

The team which finished third in Crossfire's CoD4 QCUP, despite still trialling players and essentially being a mix, will have high hopes of matching both their close rivals Dignitas, many whom played under the team during CoD2, if not internationally.

A senior member of the UK community commented, that despite the new players, 'most were past their sell by date'. He also expressed the opinion that, two players in particular were highly capable, BENZ1NE and corp; but were being held back by lacklustre team mates. But on the whole, the changes introduced have made the team better than the one they had originally announced.
