One of the great things about ET's past is that the big name teams who we have come to recognise and associate with the top prizes available have their alotted time space: from the end of RTCW marking the high point for teams like kreaturen, surrender or die and rewind standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the next generation of what might be called great teams coming from the birth of Enemy Territory, teams like DSky, Gunslingers and mythology.

Tonight at 19.30CET, #ET-Cup presents the first 2 of 3 matches as the competition reaches semi-final stage. There are 4 teams left - Queens, Polewka, helix & Team-Beta. Other big names such as uQ, stronger than hate, Fear Factory and even Team Hungary have fallen, and by the end of tonight we will have an overall winner.

Happy Toad Hollow Day of Encouragement, whatever that is! Well anyway it is according to Jube. To celebrate this momentus day I decided to pick on Kee_Ring of Radio iTG fame for an interview, and what great fun it was too.

Topics discussed include RtCW, lagging vents, and that loveable sleaze bag we like to call TosspoT (just if we needed some more uk flags).

Everyone here will no doubt have sampled a RTCW map at some point in the past, be it through in Wolf itself, or by playing one of the many map conversions to ET. Such were the popularity of maps such as mp_base and mp_beach, that the ET versions were also played in competition, in some cases extensively. While these maps continue to be played in competitions as recent as the 2005 CB Wolf Opencup, the question remains: how much longer are their lives in ET?

Brief info: Qtracker is a nice program much like that excuse called ASE, with the difference that qtracker actually works well..blah blah. It's one of those things which people aren't too willing to try as they've got the bog-standard approach working fine, but once they've tried it there 'ain't no goin back :O>.

With the first ETQW beta cup hosted by ClanBase about to start tomorrow, I caught up two admins who may be less well known to the ET community. Nuke, the coverage supervisor, and Revengeful, the co-supervisor, will both be working alongside newly appointed cup sup Adacore, together bringing you CB's debut ETQW cup.

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.

After much blood, sweat and tears, Crossfire's very own Crossfight competition is ready for launch. Following the highly successful qualifying competition of 2 weeks ago, and the crevasse showgame, we now have our 11 teams who will start from the beginning. The teamlist is:

Incomplete
Morrigu
cdap - team pi
Ultima Ratio
HIGHBOT
Sublime gaming
uQ-Gaming
