The Imperial prepare for MW2

Following in the footsteps of Mamut.si and Team Dignitas, today another large organisation has announced the addition of a Modern Warfare 2 team ahead of the game's predicted release in mid-late november. This comes in the form of British-based organisation The Imperial picking up InTheZone.

For many in the scene this may come as a bit of a deja-vu, as several members of the team have played under this tag before. The lineup features several well recognised players, particularly Darren "wannabe" Borrow and Chris "Chenson" Henson, both known for their time in Team Infused. Joining them is Rob "Robzkek" Heaton, who (as well as playing with chenson in YYT) is primarily known for his time in the successful ZeroPoint! lineup that competed in EPS season 1. The final two players are more unknown, although some may remember Lee "PuKKa" Martin from VIVID and Sypher.

This side is a replacement for the old The Imperial side from the netherlands. They achieved mixed successes at the summer LANs, including a 1st place finish at Frag'O'Matic 11.1. However, bad feeling within the team and lack of communication with the management resulted in the lineup being removed and shortly after changing players dramatically.

Hoping for better fortune, the new team are competing in some online Call of Duty 4 tournaments at the moment (such as the Clanbase Eurocup XX), but their primary aim is success in it's sequel- Modern Warfare 2. Here they will be playing under their new tag in both online and offline tournaments.

The new The Imperial team for Modern Warfare 2 is therefore as follows:

Darren "wannabe" Borrow
Chris "Chenson" Henson
Rob "Robzkek" Heaton
Lee "PuKKa" Martin
George "RAIVZ" Marsh

Statement Darren "wannabe" Borrow: "So yeah, as most of you are thinking 'oh my days, not another 2 week team', well I can guarentee you that this is not the case! This team is made up of numerous skilled individuals that have all one thing in common - a good sense of humour. The sole reason why this team will succeed is the atmosphere within it and the fact we actually enjoy playing together. We can't thank the imperial enough for giving us this opportunity to prove ourselves to them and respresent them within the COD series. Fingers crossed to see what MW2 brings along. Lastly a shoutout to the managers at the imperial as well as all their numerous sponsors!"
