Well done Krosan and AEF

(This started as a column but decided it was probably too short so I put it here)

The Antwerp eSports Festival is complete and ET can take great pride in its representation and conduct. ET was an integral part of a LAN that has grown into one of the most prestigious for the benelux. ET is a game that by all means should be dead and buried long ago, but through the power of self belief it has kept going, that power of self belief is personified by one man - the man that brought you AEF, Krosan.

12 months ago Krosan was another Crossfire member, his claim to the headlines was through FatGames the team where he got screwed by the lies of some of its senior management just as much as some of the players. Very quickly however he rose his profile as an admin with work on news, tournaments and the last CC LAN. The icing on his cake was the most ambitious of moves, moving ET into AEF.

Getting stuff done in ET is less than simple, and becoming a success story for the ET community suffers from the exact struggles than ET as a game has done. There are many close minded people in the community that resent people sticking their oar into things. I read a lot of the abuse Krosan has received with a sense of disbelief knowing that if the exact same actions were done by other people no eyebrow would be raised.

However no volume of difficulties could get in his way, Krosan wanted to offer a better service to the ET community both online and offline. Today his mission has reached a very pivotal milestone, the successful completion of the AEF ET tournament without any major hitches and plenty of journals toasting actions of the grand final.

From myself and the whole of the ET community, congratulations to Krosan and all of those who have supported ET at AEF.
