Announcing the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7

image: cic-header

It is with great pleasure that today I can announce the title sponsor of the Crossfire Challenge 7, Intel. Intel has long been the biggest supporter of eSports and it brings great pride that they have chosen to back Crossfire and its community. Intel's support of CIC7 enhances our ability to continue delivering top notch events with stronger prizes, more tournaments and a better playing environment.

For the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 you can look forward to Enemy Teritory 5vs5 in all of its glory and to support the transition over to 5vs5 for ET, we will be running the Intel 1 night cups on every Sunday throughout December up until Christmas. Intel will also be supporting the Quakelive Community Challenge with a Quakelive duelling competition at CC7 with the winner taking home a brand new Intel Core i7 processor. We’ll also be adding an Intel supported new game to our title list for the event which will be announced nearer the time.

For Wolfenstein fans we will not be following through with this tournament due to lack of an active competitive community. With regards to Modern Warfare we’re currently delaying our decision on what to do with the game due to its competitive difficulties, we will confirm the full additional game titles for CIC7 by Christmas.

I hope you find this news as exciting as I do as it brings about a bright future for the Crossfire Challenge series!

About Intel - Intel pushes the boundaries of innovation so our work can make people's lives more exciting, fulfilling, and manageable. And our work never stops. We never stop looking for the next leap ahead—in technology, education, culture, manufacturing, and social responsibility. And we never stop striving to deliver solutions with greater benefits for everyone.

awesome, just really hope cod4 is there, especially with the community behind it and top teams needing good lans to aim for.

cant wait to be out there :}

gj on intel
will there be CoD4.Noorgrin there?
Parent
dunno :)

but there are way more chances for that than ET or QL :)
Parent
ah nice, you still playing et actively then?
Parent
Nope, he stopped playin it, once again.
Parent
hes playing cod4 esl lowgather ._.
Parent
fresse huan !
Parent

Parent
cod4 would be awesome indeed
Parent

Parent

Crossfire train keeps rollin : )

kanker gamers, go out
Gratz with Intel :)

Looking forward to it!
Great job :D
Nice job TosspoT.

zabija
and some lowskiller names blade
Parent
quark also?!
Parent
butt-ugly logo imo
really glad to see genuine effort yet again :)
can i play ql and et?
Why 5on5 btw?
ET was supposed to be 5on5 because of wolfenstein but wolfenstein failed so why can't we just stick to 6on6? Teams playing together for some months/year have to kick 1 player.. Just stay 6on6 :)
Parent
idle, parodia, dsky and dignitas better return for this
i wonder how idle vs dignitas would go.
Parent
either you don't get the joke, or you didn't get the sarcasm...
Parent
joke is that you are implying idle and dignitas are a same team

where is that sarcasm part?
Parent
i haven't read about cloning people being possible yet.

is it ?
Parent
cloning would need for the last dignitas, not for the first.

/FACEPALM
Parent
you mean dignitas from rapture,darkie time aight?
Parent
what chmpp said, but still nice try! :)
Parent
its not fair :(

was playing rtcw back then and hated et :(
Parent
AND STILL FUCKING LWOSKILLL LWOL
Parent
he refers to the first post by tactics if u still didnt get it ...
Parent
get what lol?
Parent
stop wnb-doubletrolling
Parent
Depends on how new-schooled you are.
Parent
lololol i hope it will be my first lan
slajdan said im low+ at lan so I guess I wont be coming :(
why not? skillboost compared to online :-OOOO
Parent
5on5 sux, I understand why you chose it but it sux, I hope this won't give cb admins any ideas about making oc 5on5
they have already announced that they will do it next season. Also for NC mate. You are a bit outdated :p
Parent
we haven't announced anything official yet tbh. As soon as we have a decisive verdict we will announce it on a newspost.
Parent
humm wasnt there a post of yours somewhere? :D or was it only what you thought about doing. My fail then^^
Parent
maybe it was about the list of thing we were gonna discuss, and might have been *NC - 5on5* if it were like that i wanted to mean that we are going to discuss whether to make that happen or not :)
Parent
I surely doodely hope not
Parent
less players per team->more teams->less et is dead
Parent
SICSEVEN , awesome name!
great news well done dude
Great news, eventhough i think the 5v5 decision isn't good right now. Basically every interested team (and not only, because cb will follow the same rule soon), has to drop one player? :\
Keep NC 6v6! :)
Parent
+1

keep ET 6v6 online

i cant comment on 5on5 at lans because ive never been to cc* but if its like it is online i wont like it
Parent
Same here. The 5v5 format seems to work great at Portuguese lans (since most of teams are mixs), but for a stable clan i guess it won't work since they will have to "kick / drop" a player...

But online, 6v6 ftw.
Parent
Everyone will have to remove their weakest link!
Parent
lol its more than that though because that 6th player does alot of things

would be better if we had a bigger lan going community to make up the numbers
Parent
but if 5 teams drop 1 player each, you got a new team :). tadaaa
Parent
:DD u got me there!
Parent
a team of 5 medics! :)
Parent
rofl good point
Parent
Omg Intel Omg.
nice one :D

long may the intel link continue!
Congratulations on landing Intel as a sponsor!
and who said et is dead?
really nice man
would love to once go to an et lan!
nice, hoped you would fall back to 6v6 though :|
Let's do some community vote for 6on6!
Parent
+100000000000000000000000000000000000000
Parent
we looooooooove Intel!
Very nice Toss. Much respect.
really nice man
would love to once go to an et lan!
you removed the wrong snake from ur buddylist -.-
Parent
sorry :D readded!
Parent
yo indeed, im such a fool i deleted the wrong snake :s
Parent
QuoteFor Wolfenstein fans


both of them?
CU ALL AT LAN :D
now wolfenstein failed, why cant we do just 6on6 again? I mean every table is for 2 persons anyways
And if you put 5 tables together u can place 2 teams!
Parent
I rather not play with my enemy on my left/right side thx, they all smell
Parent
People can sit at 2 sides of the same table...
Parent
you wouldnt say that if you were to a cc lan :p
Parent
With the pc's hanging in the air? I remember :P
Parent
but that werer 2 tables :p most of the tables are @ the wall etc
Parent
Oh ye but I never said there, I was at the leet cod corner ;)
Parent
rly "leet" those fucking cod fags
Parent
And if you put 6 tables together u can place 2 6on6 teams! :)
Parent
nice gettin intel on board

see u there!!111 ;P
need HoN @ game list ! ! !
dialer @ kraken suit?
Parent
:D and zefurrrrrr mask
Parent
Hope to see Wise Star 2 there.
good job :>
finally :)
can i play cod4 and et? Everyone knows im awesome at both.
sure, though I'm not so sure whether you're so awesome!!1
Parent
NO FULL FOCUS ON ET NOOB !
Parent
sounds awesome - that chip is the only price in the ql comp?
are you going then ?
Parent
might go for the ql cup tho i dunno if i will have the motivation to prac for it
Parent
if rtcw -> indomitus should go there :D
Parent
TOO MANY HANDICAPED PLAYERS
Parent
Sweet i suppose i will be going yet again with the ALMIGHTY CUBE WHERE EVERYTHING IS HARDER!
hahaa, cu there
congrats on managing to bag Intel, definitely looks pro
nice, ill be there hopefully
im a lan virgin, this could be my final chance
All dudes write , nice intel etc. why is it so important? there were allready 6 lans without intel :S
You prefer a Maltese Beer maker to sponsor a football team or Heineken?
Parent
Well ok its known , but why is it so important or why all are happy about Intel , there wont have anything of it or?
Parent
Probably better pcs & better money to the lan = better setup/prize money? Intel has to provide something better than previous sponsors i guess
Parent
Ah ok that make sense , thx!
Parent
Danke für diesen sehr produktiven beitrag. eulee ...
Parent
accurate comment is accurate
Parent
es war eine normale frage worauf ich ne normale antwort bekommen habe also was willst du jetzt von mir?
Parent
retarded question is retarded
Parent
Need some Belgian who are going from Wallonia to take me, pm me plz
looking forward to the 5on5 change :)
congrats toss, is this a multi lan sponsor from intel?
you hoppin over? :D
Parent
same time as CeBIT = gay! :(

means that you wont get the pro quake players for CIC7
probably the reason why its called the community competition ;)
Parent
MY CHANCE!
Parent
2bad my school cruise is 4th - 6th march.. any idea how big the prize pot will be? :D

and nice Intel!
YYT cod4 team will attend if cod4 is announced
nice :) YYT.ET will be there whatever happens !
Parent
cu lan then :>
Parent
5v5, seriously

are you guys fucking retarded? ET has always (99% when not a stupid admin wanted to "try" to change it to 5v5) been 6v6.. seriously, I got all the respect of the world for you guys that you put so much time and effort in it. but just don't change smth like that =/

gl everybody
just because ET has always been 6on6 isn't a valid argument which would define 5on5 as worse than 6on6

we can now be stubborn as fuck and stick to 6on6 until everyone gets sick of always playing the same clans over & over again, or we can try 5on5 and spare a bit of diversity to this game, who knows, maybe TosspoT could get more sponsors for ET and make it as popular as CS1.6 or CSS. Both CS1.6 & CSS are almost as old as ET and have far more sponsors, and i won't talk about which is the better game as that is subjective.
Parent
6 > 5
* > Killerboy

you get it now?
Parent
No wonder you will never understand if you don't even try to, so people should just ignore you, cause just like in philosophy your premise is false therefore your conclusion is not taken into consideration.
Parent
mature comment is mature
Parent
Agreed :). Less stupid spam but still not "aim-only" game, different tactics, new mappool, more teams. I'm not going to CIC propably but it would be nice if everyone switch to 5o5 online.
Parent
5on5 will attract sponsors
Parent
*money money for Toss*

;D
Parent
I would love 5on5 Last man standing <3
Parent
just saying "it's in 5 against 5 format" will make money pour into our pockets
Parent
5 players -> more teams
5 players -> means a few top teams more
5 players -> cheaper to send teams (more mgc's)
5 players -> possibly to have ET in some other lans, with games like CS, cod4 etc.
.
.
.

and people never rly come to crossfire lans to just play, they also come to have a good time, seeing some old m8s n stuff.
Parent
5on5 might always bring some RTcW maps back, like et_ice or something, playing maps like supply over and over again is becoming boring.
Parent
drinking water all the time gets boring so lets drink piss
Parent
why not drink some coke or some alcohol? (assuming that you were reffering to et_ice as piss since it's bad, maybe you can suggest some better maps for 5on5, i'm sure not all the rtcw maps are bad or maybe some other old or new maps)
Parent
ice is a really nice map, doesnt fit at all in 6v6 but 5v5 would make it nais
Parent
just out of interest, how would one player less make it nice?
Parent
2 players less dog!
Parent
that's usually what 1 player per team less means :/

still interested how would that make the map nice
Parent
coz ice is still a great map, but in 6v6 it gets way 2 chaotic.
Parent
ice is boring.. beach and base would be cool though! also 5on5 will change a lot tactics, in maps like supply etc. all teams dont have to use the same tactics. :p
Parent
Ice isn't that bad, also i would like to see dubrovnik! :D
Parent
i never played rtcw but is it tru the game was played 5on5, or is it just the map ice which is better for 5on5 as for 6on6?
Parent
these comments can only be made by somebody who doesnt play the game.
Parent
someone should ban supply from all competitions and anyone that has it on their server should be hung
Parent
takja chu pulango kanker
Parent
well I do agree with you, but only in one point; there might be more teams

I doubt there could be more top teams and doubt even more the increasing number of MGC's that would provide LAN support because I think 1 player more or less to a clan that is willing to send a team to a LAN is not that big of an issue and anyway most teams that went to cf lans paid for themselves

furthermore, having ET on lans that didn't already have it is unlikely, the games supported on lans are greatly determined by the amount of money they bring, don't know if there's anyone out there that matters who would, after all these years, think "ah this game might have potential, let's introduce it!", you need to have people that will push the game and we currently rely only on tosspot, which is not enough whatever we might think of his abilities

I might be too big of a skeptic but I have a feeling that not much can be done to breathe new life into ET at this stage
Parent
so why not making 4on4?
Parent
We all saw that happening after Quakecon and CPC I didn't we? And the same arguments were used back then.
Parent
well done TosspoT
intel Oo impressive & unexpected
INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE
nice :)))
alright, but I'm very curious about the prize pot
hope to see u there :)
zusammen fahren? :<
Parent
in meinem luxusschlitten lass ich nur meine freundin einsteigen, soz
Parent
:XD :) naya dann cu on lan <3
Parent
Nice one tosspot, will see you there this year!

"Tosspot: wp tekno i mean tekoa" :D
oh + organize a knife cup last man standing :) would be cool
E: team vs. team ofc, couldn't find the youtube clip from oasis
I think it's the time to stop those jokes about the 5vs5 format, it's over, we want 6vs6 ! :(
Guess who's getting kicked out of celcus when it's 5on5! =D
Parent
not even, it's just this format, that's rly sux for ET, there is not enough teams who are already playing 6vs6 so imagine for a new format, gonna be more expensive ...
Parent
hope to see u there :)
cod4?!!??!??!???!?!
put your ak47 into your ass
Parent
CIC isn't really a catchy name.

I smell fail!
Conspricacy - Tosspot from now on being the head of the Crossfire Intel Agency :D

well done Tosspot:D
Awesome, now all I need is a team for the lan.
might happen if we get our star player mikza back in action
Parent
Go for it!
Parent
will you bring both your arms this time ?
Parent
make it 3on3 pls
TosspoT, isnt it an idea to go back to 6v6 for ET since Wolf wont be there anyway? I mean its a good idea if there were multiple 5v5 games for the schedules but Wolf dropping out means you could host the ET 6v6 cause youre schedule will clear up alot now ^^
room is booked
Cu there ; )
HEARTZ COMING WITH YUPPIE!
parce que tu veux y allé copain?
Parent
bah oui.
Enfin je voulais mais maintenant je me tâte :)
Parent
dont understand the people complaining about 5v5 that wont play there anyways
reminds me about the whine about PB from non-EC players
Parent
I for one don't like the influence it might have on upcoming cb seasons, I really dislike 5on5
Parent
great news stu
5on5 ? o_O
is this really popular nowdays ?
anyway, gj @ intel
look if you dont like 5v5

dont go to this lan :D
what are you whining about, youre not forced to go there
if he wants to have it 5v5 its his fucking decision
people are complaining because they realise this will most likely mean OC, EC & NC will also be 5v5.
Parent
I'm complaining because flights are expensive and 5v5 sucks.

No rifle would be an ok compromise though.
Parent
N1 @ intel!
CU there nerds :~)
nice tosspot :)

you re keeping et alive
Sweet sponsor!! Well done Tosspot... Let's hope for a big success and a positive partnership with Intel!

I think the decision to use five versus five is far more appropriate now than when it was originally introduced in 2006; good decision.
i think 5on5 is good but its been failed once before
i hope to see GIGABYTE @ the CoD4 tournament :D
Parent
