It's coming up to that time of the year again ladies and gentlemen. Don your sunblock and pack your finest swimming trunks – it's the PES 2009 European finals.
Germany won the competition last year, but the UK will be hoping to regain its form from 2007 when Rob McLean and Mark Gardiner both made it through to the final game with Rob eventually taking 1st place.
This year’s competition is taking place in the idyllic location of Nice, France and entrants will be staying at the Royal Riviera hotel from the 3rd to the 4th October. With direct access to the to seaside, a 75mtr square spa, indoor swimming pool and private garden with outdoor pavilions, the hotel offers the perfect place to unwind ahead of some serious PES gaming.
So which two Rankings players have earned the right to represent the UK in the finals in this year’s tournament?
Firstly, we have leng_jay. Winner of both the Main Event and PES Rankings Season 4, leng_jay was relatively unknown until this season's Ricoh Arena Event where he brushed aside PES champions past and present to be crowned the winner. A fine example to any player sitting at home who thinks that they can challenge the best PES players the UK has to offer.
There’s also Footimaster – Season 3's Main Event winner, Footi has been dominant in the London PES scene for two years now and is a former Emirates Cup champion. Qualifies for the European Finals due to the sterling overall Rankings effort that saw him finish 2nd in the country.
PESFan leader TheBoss will also be in attendance, where he'll be doing - among other things - a live update on the day, interviews with some key people, and taking a tonne of photos for your amusement. Likely to be found clutching bottles of French biere in the suburbs of Nice until the early hours of the morning, but that’s a story for another time.
Look out for more European finals fun in the coming weeks.
