Seven of the top Championship teams for each of these games will be selected to compete at Premiership level. These teams will be announced on Friday 13th February 2009.
“I would like to congratulate the publishers and developers of all the games that were nominated by the community for the Dell XPS Premiership Division. The four titles we have confirmed today were finalised by their popularity and team sign ups in the Championship Division,” said Ray Mia, UKeSA Chief Executive. “A particular note of thanks goes to the community leaders who have been a driving force behind making Season One a huge success. Finally, I would like to wish all the teams taking part in this historic event for UK eSports the very best of luck.”

the turn out of fifa compared to halo at LAN events is a joke VERY dissapointed and pissed off to be honest, i think it wasnt a fair decision due to fifa only needing 1 player per team comapred to halo having 4 players per team.

MVP - there were no where near enough teams in Halo to run two substainable leagues. You still have the Champs and future Seasons. GG TF2 and CSS. It looks like CoD4 may have been lucky - when I looked at the sign-ups on Friday night it was close between them a few others. FIFA isn't surprising - nice to see 1v1 game that the UKeSA guys will be able to sell easily... it's football.

We will see a surge of established teams hiring FIFA players just to get themselves into the Premiership Division from the Championship Division...

Nice fifa's online following is second to none on the 360

I'm glad Fifa made it, eventhough its on 360 not PS3 lool

Well, i actually agree with these choices. They're the most mature and competitively developed titles. Hopefully, there will be some more titles hitting that list very soon.
Also, did i miss the announcement about Dell joining up with UKeSa? :S
