Crossfire, the home of online Wolfenstein has today announced that it will be spearheading a fund raising appeal to send a European based Enemy Territory squad to compete at Quakecon 2006. After the announcement on July 12th that there would be a $30,000 5on5 ET Tournament, many European players and teams looked unlikely to go due to the large travel bill required in such a short period of time.
However Crossfire plans to raise in excess of 5,000 Euros to fund the greatest 5 ET players in Europe to travel to Dallas and return home with the Gold! Since its creation in 2002, Crossfire has flown the flag for the Wolfenstein series and with one of its most prestigious events now upcoming, its time to make sure there's a piece of Crossfire at the Con!
How does the appeal work?
Crossfire has on average above 10,000 unique users per day on the site. If each user donated just 1 euro we'd raise 10,000 Euros and be able to send two teams! In reality the likelihood of that is slim, however if every other user gives just 1 euro we can send a team across to Dallas! All users who donate will be entered into a prize draw that involves the upcoming unannounced Crossfire event, and take their place on the Crossfire hall of fame.
What happens if we win?
In Enemy Territory history, Europeans can count only 1 defeat to an opponent from outside its borders on LAN, and, with a flailing North American community, the chances of a cash placing are extremely high. So, what would Crossfire do if it won that money? Give it back to the community! Once paid Crossfire would run a tournament with the prize money, minus costs for its community - be that online or on lan - thus offering the community at least one more large cash tournament based in Europe. Consider it an investment in your games future!
Who picks the team?
YOU! Crossfire will give the opportunity to its community to select its own team to represent the site and community and fly the flag for old "Belgian blue".
