The Call of Duty community have responded to yesterdays indecision regarding no Modern Warfare 2 tournament at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 with a show of defiance towards their preferred title, Modern Warfare 1. The game which has a very successful history at the challenge series may well be making return after a whopping 30 teams confirmed both interest and finances to attend the event and a further 15 teams declaring just interest.
You can see the full list of teams interested in attending on this TEK9 thread. Hats off to Vanner for compiling that list and mobilising the community and as a result of that when we open up the payments for ET later this week, we will also open up CoD payments on the triggered prize system mentioned in that post.
Secondly and the reason why this is filtered as Crossfire rather than CoD is that TEK9 hero Jetset has written a mammoth guide for teams planning on attending the Crossfire Challenge. In this guide here you can see a monumental guide for all forms of travel and accommodation in the local area which will certainly help your travel plans for CIC7.
Somehow the site doesn't load in firefox and in IE it's some mega css fuckup.
Well done though, looking forward to meet up with dignitas & reason :)
Big kudos to the maker of that guide
hope they will attend so i won't be alone flying from malta
@ Maltese airport no
but at german airport i have this phobia i will get lost if i don't find anyone who's going to enschede :D
I don't mean it like "CoD fucking sucks and so do all the guys who play it", though. I like the game and have been playing it pretty much, even considered starting to play it seriously over ET at the time it came out. Also at the first crossfire LAN (cpc1) I had great time with the CoD players aswell, but on the events after that CoD guys have been pretty separate as atleast all the top teams only show up for the games and then leave the venue when they're done with playing their own games
I guess that it has mostly to do with the differences between our scenes. ET players gather at the event from all over the Europe mostly just to have fun and good times with other players hanging around the venue, playing poker and drinking together. CoD players have their big multigaming organizations to present and to them the event is just one out of many and they go there to success which requires them to spent time making tactics and discussing their gameplay at the hotel room and not being allowed to drink too much as they have to sleep well to be fresh and prepared for the games early in the morning. Okey, maybe I exaggerated a bit and not all the CoD teams act that professionally, but that's pretty much how I see it
I can fully understand why CoD4 is included though and crossfire LANs wouldn't be the same without the CoD series. I'd also imagine that with only ET in the game list it would be almost impossible to find any sponsors for the events so I guess we need to thank CoD players for keeping these events alive aswell :)
I just hope that TosspoT will find a good balance within the size of ET and CoD4 tournaments
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
looking forward to this LAN
