As the ET community flexed its mighty muscle once again, the Crossfire team has bowed to the fierce demands of the community. Therefore, we swiftly adapted its qualifiers and direct invites.
There will be implications by allowing 16 teams on LAN, which will be decided upon later tonight and thus more info on this will follow very soon. However with the limited time at hand for the qualifiers to complete, we cannot wait with the qualifiers as they need to be completed by January 10.
The qualifiers for ET:QW have also been altered as H2K and overload will not be able to attend either, next to nextlevel.
No changes have been made for Warsow. The direct invites and qualifiers for CoD4 will be released later tonight. All CoD4 teams bear in mind to be available to play in the upcoming two days between 20:00 and 23:00 CET.
We have selected teams on past performance, (future) potential, stability and last but far from least, the likeness of attendance. The latter might stir up the seeds if they were solely based on the strength of each teams, but based on our past experience from the previous Crossfire installments it came evident that we should include this variable.
P.S. TosspoT loves you all again, but next time be a tad faster signing up. That way we can make better decisions on the tournament sizes and you can save yourselves from being "online only" for future events.

red warnings !!
So saying that Britain won Battle over Britain is a little wrong, would rather say survived :) And Britain relied heavily on supplies from the states even before USA entered the war, so saying Britain survived 1on1 is also kinda wrong. Its a reason why Germany started focusing hard on submarines during this time :)
Bonus bit of random information to sink your ship:
"The highest-scoring unit during the Battle of Britain was the No. 303 Polish Fighter Squadron."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._303_Polish_Fighter_Squadron
Wont go into details in Africa as you obviously have no idea about what you are talking about :)
In Africa you seem to lack some knowledge about the combatants. Want go into details about how wrong you are. But here are some facts that contradicts you:
"This campaign fell under the British Middle East Command. The vast majority of the British allied forces involved were from British Commonwealth nations. The Commonwealth forces included troops from the Sudan, British Somaliland, British East Africa, the Indian Empire, South Africa, Northern Rhodesia, Southern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, and British West Africa (Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia). There was even a small commando unit from the British Mandate of Palestine. In addition to the British and Commonwealth forces, there were Ethiopian irregular forces, Free French forces, and Free Belgian forces."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_African_Campaign_(World_War_II)
So basically that was not a 1on1 either :)
(Im not saying that wikipedia is a good source, but you can follow the sources (checked them) if you want to. Easier to copy from wikipedia than from books :) )
'Well battle of Britain was a fight for survival in a far off castle, with a wall of water and not really a fair 1on1 battle :) It also involved only one army branch, making it less of a real battle. And Britain survived, they did not give the Germans any blow they could not recover from. Battle of Britain ended when Germany decided to move their heavy bomber squadrons to the east front when attacking USSR, not when Britain won.'
I mean, you argue without context, merely to counter the points that I over simplified in the first place. It's less than 250 miles from say, Dover to Dusseldorf, so 'far away rock' is a tad poetic. I agree that the war was only between the two air forces, but that's all the Germans could fight with, and what else was it going to be after Dunkirk?
No amount of German sympathizing can hide the fact that the Germans had twice the number of air units the British did, and we were still left standing.
So you praise wikipedia, read probably the same thing I did, and yet you choose to omit, 'inflicting the first major defeat on Germany at the Battle of Britain.'
Middle of 1942, the Axis controlled most of Northern and West Africa, by the end of the year they controlled only Libya and Tunisia. By saying, it wasn't 1v1 actually makes your arguments even worse. The British forces were 1:6 against the Axis and if you think the British were the only ones to use 'foreign' troops then you're sorely mistaken.
Please go and read up.
Not SU!
Seems as though you've taken the fundamental principle of philosophy to its limit, 'you don't need to know about a certain thing to have an opinion on that thing'.
we were supposed to play vagrants and now we have to play vs Slayers
Probably too late to change it back now, though, given that most of the games have already been scheduled and it doesn't make too much difference in the grand scheme of things.
Without the US. you would speak german now. its not that i think it was right what the germans did or smth like that. but saying GB > GER (1on1)....haha stupid fucktard
Please don't forget the FACT that Britain and its allies fought a losing war and despite being mightly outnumbered inflicted heavy damage on the German warmachine.
Perhaps if America and been alittle quicker off the mark Dunkirk would never have happend.
kk, many thnx if you would adapt it!
but well there wont be
I hope they have taken into consideration that ET:QW needs some pretty decent hardware, I can't play if the difference between home and there is huge (200+ fps here).
