For ages, the Enemy Territory community has complained that the game we all love has not received enough credit from big tournaments and has never been accepted as one of the elite e-sports titles, which has not let the legends in the game earn a living racking up amazing killing sprees and making fanboys at ETTV go berserk.
While I wholeheartedly agree, that Enemy Territory is underrated and as an amazing game to both play and watch should receive far more credit, I would like to use this moment to show those of you that were not aware or had forgot about the fact that it has not always been about just fun and fame - we've had a fairly significant sum of money up for grabs spread out over the last few years - A lot more in Total than I for example would have guessed from the top of my head.
NB! If someone knows the lineups of the teams from the 6 Israeli LANs or from GGL Ladder Season 1, GFO1 or GFO 2 open division I would really appreciate if you contacted me, this would help the rankings a lot.
06.03.2007 - Added shgOpen 2007 and ETFRAGLAND 3 to the list. A combined total of over 7000 euros caused some nice mixups in the rankings :)
21.02.2007 - As soon as I get internet back at home I will update the rankings with SHG 5000€ and it should cause quite a few mixups in the rankings.
25.01.2007 - Portugese ETL @ Kaos #2 Was added to the rankings and finally the ESL IPS is also a part of these moneyrankings.
25.11.2006 - The Update following Poznan Game Arena 2006 saw 12 new faces enter the rankings. Surprisingly - 11 of them were polish. This helped Poland climb to the 5th spot in the country rankings past austria and slovenia. Thanks to the Austrian trio from zP! the country managed to hold on to their 6th position though, as these 3 combined have earned slightly more than Jakazc alone.
In teams rankings FF climbed a few places to a well deserved 7th the other podium finishers NETrunners and zP! entered the rankings to places 11 and 23 respectively.
No major shakeups in the players rankings as just 4 of the prizewinners in Poznan were previously in the rankings. All the new entrants however managed to sneak into top 100 and thus made it mandatory to have won at least 100 $ for anyone to be able to challenge the top 100.
30.10.2006 - Yet another tournament was added to the rankings. Portugese 3on3 LAN ABTlanParty. Thanks go out to
Chute for digging this one out :)
27.10.2006 - With the release of Crossfire3 I started to update the rankings again. I added INVEXCUP 2006, ET Lan Series @ Kaos and Experience Enemy Territory in the tournament listings. I have also found out about a total of 6 Money tournaments for ET in Israel and as soon as I get the rosters for those events I will update the rankings again.

As for the comment itself, it is semi-inside joke, the article was first published in August and it had actually a lot of comments, which were all lost with the website change. If you'd look closely you'd notice I posted this comment two days before this was made a sticky.
This means that roughly 8500 $ - 9000 $ is not added in the players rankings and this amount is well big enough to cause some serious mixups in the rankings.
If anyone has any information please do contact me :) thanks

not sure why they put Lugar in front of every clanname, but I think this was the lan you're talking about.
nice job :)
guess this is just an update
nice read
actually well I also ment the main idea of this article, same kind of layout and info in it.
What I do know that TosspoT did was rank teams throughout the wolfenstein series based on "worth of the victories" roughly at the same time.
My article was written after reading this ggl article - http://www.ggl.com/news.php?NewsId=3818
Hmm.. yes I remember Tossie writing about the whole wolfenstein scene since there was iNfensus included on the money prices.
Good stuff and hopefully people will realise that there is money/prices in Enemy Territory aswell. And what comes to those "et is dead"-comments, well they are usually written by arrogant ppl, youngsters also known as noobs or so...;)
Waiting for your next arcticle already, keep up the good work.
that was my point, no wonder if it looked familiar
THOSE ARE LIKE GOLD BRICKS
Sucky sucky 10 dolla? ;D
Nice read, thanks!
By the way, what about the "Lan Party Slask" in poland. Have there been any cash prizes?
FF won 5on5, diversus won 3on3 and LoCkheed won 1on1

thx :)
I just had no idea :D. But it is great to find out about it now. Could you please provide a bit more information about this event? When was it who won money and what were the lineups for moneywinners.
btw, actually
They won Loser bracket, but losers from winner brackets didn't play in the loser bracket. Sad but true.
Sum-up here : http://wiki.enemyterritory.fr/index.php/ET_Fragland_3#Tableau_final
They won 500 euros whilst 3rd & 4th won just few goodies. :)
I heard there were Fragland 1 and 2 also with money prizes some time ago. Do you have any idea how I could get some information about those lans ?
imo, make a journal asking for some infos about Fragland 1 & 2
Many French read crossfire daily, some of them should help ...
if it's failed, I can ask for infos on et-fr forum.
rofl. fuck me :s
playing wolf since 2001 and thats it :P
