World success for UK pro-gamers
UK pro-gaming team Four-Kings is racking up a series of successes in tournaments around the world.
Top UK Painkiller player David Treacy is climbing the rankings in the globe-trotting CPL World Tour contest.
Mr Treacy has secured a place in the event's grand final that gives him a chance to share a $500,000 prize pot.
The Four-Kings Counter-Strike players have won $20,000 by finishing second in a prestigious invitation-only tournament held in South Korea.

The $1m World Tour, organised by the Cyberathlete Professional League, sees top players of the Painkiller shooter take each other on in nine separate tournaments held at different venues around the world.
Those who top the rankings in the nine tour stops also win a place in the grand final which is scheduled for November in the US.
Representing the UK in the CPL World Tour have been David Treacy (aka Zaccubus) and Dan Marshall (aka Kuula), both of whom play for the Four-Kings Intel team.
So far Mr Treacy is the only player to make it to all four tour stops.
In the first three stops in Turkey, Spain and Brazil, Mr Treacy made it to the 13-16th ranking.
Technical troubles prevented him doing better in the competition held in Barcelona, Spain.
Mr Treacy said: "I was unlucky in a few of the maps that I played and should definitely have done better."
