I don't think the Achieve Men are gamers. I think they're supposed to be a boy band since that poster Yang put up is a cartoonized Achievement Hunter "Boy Band" poster on the RT Store.

I think since he specified that there were 4 kingdoms, those might actually be the castles from the pilot episode.

I actually thought Weiss might be a little reluctant to accept Ruby as their leader. Remember in the last episode, where the camera looked at her and then as Ozpin announced Ruby as leader, Weiss was taken by surprise and turned around to stare at Ruby? I kind of took that expression to mean that she wasn't fully convinced of Ruby's leadership skills. And this episode just seems to confirm it.

And yeah. Professors can bring creatures to the classroom. Though it's probably not a full grown Boombatusk. It's a bit like Defense Against the Dark Arts from Harry Potter. And Port is kind of like a cross between Slughorn and Lockhart.
