I've had to move the match reports here because basically, I was breaking the forum thread with the amount of bbcode added to it. I'll split up all the weeks/stages into different pages and I'll link to them from the forum topic so that you can still find them.

As you read on, you’ll see some match previews for our first week of group stage games, along with some information about when they will take place. Each week I will pick out a “Game of the Week” to focus on which will be accompanied by a little extra in-depth analysis, combined with some opinions from the scene itself.

A while back, I wrote an article about TF2 to promote the game as a real competitive alternative. The main motivation behind that article was to gather up any wayward gamers and lure them into the world of rocket jumps and uber-charges. I knew before I began to compose that article, that our community was split/divided over what game to move onto in the coming future but reading Crossfire over the past few months, this has become ten times more apparent. Well, for me at least.

This site has posted a lot what about Quake Wars and CoD4 recently, so I thought I would write and article about Team Fortress 2 for all the people that think QW and CoD4 are simply just not their cup of tea. I'm not saying TF2 is the way to go if you feel this way, (Well, on an entirely biased level, I am :P) but as the title of the article suggests, could this be a real alternative?
