Following the sharp decline in Call of Duty activity in Europe, Crossfire and Devotii have decided to postpone their cash tournaments due to be held on November 2 - 4. The two organisations have released the following statements regarding firstly the Devotii GameIdol tournament and secondly the Crossfire Devotii Challenge tournament.

Due to the large number of clans moving away from COD2 in preparation for the COD4 launch the LAN finals for the Game Idol tournament has been cancelled due to a lack of interest. The COD2 Game Idol tournament will be re-launched as a COD4 tournament early in the new year and the same prizes will be up for grabs as clans compete for the right to be called “fnatic”

The 8 clans who are missing out on the finals of the COD2 Game Idol Tournament will be awarded with 100 Euros each and our sincere apologies that the tournament has been put on hold. They will also be guaranteed entry into the COD4 competition.

Once again we would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused and we look forward to the COD4 tournament in the new year.

When we first planned this event back in April, CoD4 was a distant spec on the radar. There was no public knowledge that CoD4 was due this winter and when as soon as the news broke, the sharp decline in activity forced us into action.

Both Crossfire and our title sponsor Devotii both fully believe in the Call of Duty community and are sure that come CoD4 the scene will pickup and be successful and for that reason rather than beating a dead horse in November, we'd rather feed a healthy young horse with an event in January

Crossfire will still hold the RTCW tournament in WZZRD on the same dates and as a result will offer any Call of Duty teams the oppourtunity to attend and we will form a tournament based on those signups. We appriciate that there are some dutch and local european teams who still wanted to attend and as a result, if they wish to attend they should mail tosspot at gmail dot com ASAP. Crossfire will turn 100% of the entry fee into prizemoney, so if 8 teams still wish to attend it would hold a 1600 Euro prizepurse.

If you have any queries please contact TosspoT via email (tosspot at gmail dot com) - Any teams not attending who have paid their entry should contact tosspot for a full refund.

Crossfires event focus now switches to January, where we are currently planning to hold the biggest Challenge event yet featuring both new and old games at the newly renovated WZZRD Enschede center.
