(The article system seems to be broken, so this is a 2-part submit)
This Friday the second installment of the Crossfire Prizefight Challenge will kick off in a brand new WZZRD cafe in Enschede, Holland. Teams from three individual games - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Call of Duty 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein - will battle their way to glory in an effort to win a share of the 6,000euro prizefund.
At Crossfire we have gained experience from hosting our first event, the CPC1 in Rotterdam of September 2006, and this week aim to put on a show which eclipses that which has gone before. A large section of this aims to come from coverage, which, throughout the weekend, will keep fans entertained with a variety of news, views, and other content.
To kick-start this content, we have prepared a bumper pre-event media article for your enjoyment, featuring views from top players and writers, predictions, attending team statements, interviews as well as other features. You might even find an interview with
mystic...Let us whet your appetite as we build up for our second CPC.

Thanks to all contributors
gained more experience in krea though:p, but nice to read !
HAHAHAHA :D
We're not actually a mixed team, everybody except Moose, has been on/off in ALIS for almost a year now. Just a little FYI :)
And in the Dignitas section r3vers has two same paragraphs, the lower one seems to be with fixed grammar.
Otherwise n1
+ for cpc 1 , they weren't supposed to paly untill someone dropped and the made a mixteam 1 week before it started
so chill (h)
And to the one who said that the current line-up is almost the same as the one on CPC I, funny joke man, funny joke !
This time they have ziff and zeto while last time they had stormG and rbnt, for one the former are way better and secondly ziff and zeto have been playin for quite some time with the others while the first match for rbnt together with the cZar guys was the first match at the LAN.
Also this time I'm pretty confident that Lioco will get his mouse working and not like last time. And lioco with a decent pc and a working mouse makes his enemies believe he is mAus ;-p
TLR: With the latest addition of mAus to their squad they've played quite a lot of good games against opponents like
impactgaming etc. Totally deserve the first seeding and I think in their group (vae-4i, Morrigu, FF) they will easily
end first. I expect them to end in the top 5 final rankings for sure.
vae-4i: After the departure of Squall and later on rAZz people were only screaming online-only. I can't agree more
because squall and razz were not just players in their team, I think they were two of their best players. They are
now replaced by decem and BuLL who of course both played on a high level throughout ET but I don't think they will
do that good on the LAN. A second place in their group is possible but they will have a hard one with FF.
FF: Good lineup with experienced and nice players, also very friendly players (you don't see it that much in ET). I
guess a 2nd place in their group is indeed possible, and if not second they will end third for sure. But I have the
idea that due to their experience with the same team over a longer period I think they have the skill to end second.
Morrigu: Basically the black sheep in Group A. A team with EC experience BUT with a different lineup. Although the
team exists for almost 3 years already afaik there have been a lot of lineup changes and even I have played there :P
Recent addition of rocky (Mr. Aimbot) and a relatively unknown, but oldschool one might say, player N30 they might
cause an uproar but I don't think they will be able to end higher than third in their group.
Dignitas: basically the favourite of the tournament. Without Night however a tad weaker and they found the replacement
in the form of sol the pokerplayer. Probably gonna end first in their group with relative ease, only K1ck-eSports is
able to give them a close game due to their experience. I don't see either ALIS or OCTENse capable of beating them
so a first place in their group will be no surprise for me. I think they will end in the top 3 but I have my doubts
whether they will end first since there are teams that are willing to go all-out because idle doesnt have night :P
K1ck-eSports: a long-lasting team with different names all the time :P I believe their roots lie in Ma(y)be, and later
on formed team pingwins. Their lineup has possibly weakened a bit since then but they seem to have become better and
better in the last few weeks. Can't be underestimated and will probably take the second place.
OCTENse: this team has a few of my old teammates in the lineup! Although they beat us in prac on radar in 2 minutes
I don't see them end higher than the third place in their group. ALIS might beat them but I think that will be a
relatively close game seeing as ALIS has the long-term experience in ET.
ALIS: I don't really have that much to say about this team, it's formed by a few oldschool players. They seem to be
a nice combination of experience and all-round skills, but I don't see them end higher than third although they will
probably take the third place.
zeroPoint: after replacing rapture by FeTTe I think their communication is a bit more sloppy but I am not aware of
how good FeTTe's german skillz are. However I think FeTTe is a wonderful player and so is the rest of the team, they
also have a lot of experience so an easy first place should be achieveable.
one.soldier: people were a bit furious about the high seed they were given but if you look at the lineup one can't
really wonder why: the belgian trio Shewie, mAx and Ganon along with probably the most fanboyed panzer mika, dutch
rifle LiciD and dutch medic pwner overboost. This team will surprise the most on LAN, unfortunately we haven't played
them in a prac yet. I'm looking forward to meeting them though :P a second place for this team is surely possible.
zerobarrier: basically the old cZar team. All-belgian lineup makes them have good comms I think. Their flaming skillz
are also extraordinary, as well as their speed. However I think they might end second if they manage to win against
one.soldier but that's the question.
el vigorZ: a team with almost only highsensers afaik. Very underrated but most people hate them after their battery
ownage against neg img. I don't think they will do that good on LAN, they are nice guys but lack the team spirit to
outplay their opponents.
Impact Gaming: Team with Finnish saunapoika and dutch pownerboys. Probably the best team in group D, at least looking
at every individual players I think this team is the most hyped one. Fanboys will go wild and cum hard over the idea
of mystic shooting 5hs or teKoa raping someone with luger. Will have a few hard games against aux and polar though
and second/first place is achieveable for them.
polar eSports: team with players that prefer to go rambo then playing with the team, and I know that! Individually
features a few good players and mixtures spam and aim together with a solid lineup for almost 4 months since the team
started out in early september under the name pi. I think we will end second or even first in the group, but it won't
be easy. After a bit weak performance in ET masters prolly gonna go all out on this LAN.
auxilia: relatively new team with known players like humM3L and fireBall leading the forces. A team with nice players
but they lag like shit online :P so dunno how good they will be on LAN. A second place is possible, but a third place
is more likely looking at the stability of the other teams.
KiH: teamed up with the oldschool players ozzy and co + legendary BB4E riflenader rbnt and legendary danskerkill
gyzr. Actually after the departure of some of their lineup their communication style must've changed and I don't rly
see them owning the LAN. I'm looking forward to seeing them again tho :P
