For some time now, Kimi, the leader of the 402 team, was looking for a good structure able to meet the needs of some of its players to travel over LANs. And today, that is done with a new UK organization called Direct Method. We can say that the old 402 have deserved finding a support since their recent good performances in ESL or in some LANs with the results of Kimi (EPS) and Serty (Gamers Assembly, LAN79, ESWC.fr). They showed a lot of nice things on the net for over a year now, and this is the new challenge of the team to rush offline stars as in Dignitas, Power Gaming, or YoYoTECH.

 We are proud to announce our expansion into TrackMania Nations Forever. It has taken us a while to search for the right team to join us and we are really pleased that this team has decided to join our ranks. We are looking forward to helping them achieve great things playing under the direct Method name.  We are really excited to see what this line-up can do in the near future at upcoming LAN events and in various online leagues. I would like to wish them the best of luck and hope they do us proud.
