| Imperial Take On New Gears of War Console Team |
The team formally known as vVv Focus are no strangers to LAN, finishing in top places at various events. Although they have undergone a few team changes since their vVv days, the team are stronger than ever by picking up Connor 'Chunky' Middleton and Thierry 'Gimbly' Ars, both of which are well known gears players.
We at Imperial wish them the best of luck!
Team captain Vincent 'DarkAngel' Pope spoke about the move:
| I've been watching the Imperial grow for a while now and they have always interested me, this is a good opportunity given to me and my team and we will make the most of it. |
Imperial GoW line up:
Vincent 'Dark Angel' Pope
Christopher 'Maxpax' Stretton
Connor 'Chunky' Middleton
Thierry 'Gimbly' Ars
This also means that we say goodbye to our former line up, Romance. Romance have represented the Imperial eSports organisation for almost a year, the highlight of which was a 2nd place finish at EGL in Manchester.
Imperial managing director Chris 'Mellow' Marsh had this to say about Romance departing:
In short, Romance needed a certain amount of cash for LAN which we couldn't provide for reasons I won't go into. Therefore, I told them to search for a new organisation and even helped them out by approaching other organisations on their behalf.
It seemed like a done deal so with that in mind, we basically considered Romance to be a former team, unfortunately. So we moved to replace them with a team that have been around and competed at the top for a good while now. However, the move with Romance fell through which left us in a tough position.
In the end, Detonati decided that they would leave the Imperial for this event. Disappointing for us obviously as we have supported Romance for a long while now and vice-versa. So I want to say thanks to Romance and welcome to the new team. |
Team Captain, Ross 'Detonati' Owen, now of Romance also commented with the following:
We've been very proud to be part of the setup at Imperial for the last year but due to recent events we feel its time to part ways with them. We want to thank everyone at Imperial for there help especially Mellow who couldnt have done enough for us. I certainly hope its not the last time you see Romance representing Imperial on the Gears of War franchise.
