After our recent tournament announcement we are quite glad to see the discussion the announcement triggered. Apart from the original discussion it is nice to see that the community is not dead and even able to deal with such a topic in a quite objective and neutral way.
We do not want to split up the community into two parties. We care about your issues: That is the reason why we - the ESL and Crossfire crew - are ready to postpone the announced Championship until further notice. However this is a stark warning to Clanbase ET, that there will be another player in the house in future and that is the ESL. So it is time Clanbase gets their house in order!
Nevertheless we will not be inactive. Crossfire and the Electronic Sports League hereby partner up for the official seeding tournament for the upcoming Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 in March. Stay tuned for more information and the soon to be opened signups!

Of course, if it was just 2 clan tourneys, it's entirely possible.
My only point was that ESL should not try and act like the "better" man of the two and tell everyone it's because they don't want to divide the community. One of the bigger reasons must've been that they just can't take on CB (yet?).
Either they amicably coexist or one needs to take the other on :)
Stupidest fucking statement ever made on Crossfire & thats a phenomenal feat.
ESL should not act as if they're the "better" league site and the once who are "mature" enough to back out. If this would be true everyone would've played the ESL one and let the CB one for what it is.
Does not apply. No admin out for personal gain ever lasts very long.
That would be the communities best interests in mind you jackass.
I wonder if you honestly think it looks cool to put "jackass" behind the comment? Do you think people will take you more serious? Or are you trying to blend in by acting 14?
gimmeh the coordinates so i can send some hordes of unknown heavy weaponry to it!!!
but then again, this gives me time to think my spot as cap over :D
You stated to boycott CB last year already so would be an awesome 180° turn :p
i won't apply @ cb nc. there's another young guy who seems serious enough to do it
there :)
But after yesterdays baserace match you acted like a complete retard wanting to remove your CB NC captain application cause you got owned by some nonames.
And the worst thing is you're thinking too much of yourself like you're some of ET finest but really you never archived something big, and coming what was it 3rd/4th with SNB as a backup isn't really something worth bragging about :)
I whined at you because you always said that clouver wasn't a cheater and when he finally got busted I kinda wanted to let you know how you could after all these years claim that he's not a cheater.
just because he bought a bot last week doesnt mean he had it month ago does it? :)
only reason he had to fakenick cuz we knew you would whine about his pbbans (which one he got from my config)
but still .. pissin me off
so stop being so whiney, it isn't against you personally..
though its prolly a good decision. unexpected that cb didn't go this way!
start the NC right behind CIC7 or so imo, don't sheldule it in the summer
they need that long to not do the same fuckups like their gay comrads did before!
bore players to death
And before anybody tells me I know nothing about ET, don't bother wasting your time. I'm on this site on a daily basis, I know enough from reading the comments the players have posted on each thread on this topic.

Personally, I think it would have been better for ESL & CB to use CF as a common ground for a tournament like this.
"Regarding your prize money from the online stage of season 3: The payment is scheduled for the last quarter of this year."
- This was a message sent to me personally 3 months ago by an ESL admin (shawn) after a year of wait for our money.
Now at the end of the last quarter of the year I have failed to get contacted by an ESL admin despite my huge efforts to do so.
And in order to get an ESL admin to respond to my concerns about the money I had to contact 5 different ESL admins.
If an organisation as big as yours promises something and fails to keep their end of the promise it gives you the image of unprofessionality.
Season III Europe World of Warcraft Main Round
IEM Europe is literally the top of the list now and will be paid out as soon as it can be, I know that the director of leagueops cannot wait for it to be done, anything more than 6 months becomes frustrating for us
to give you some perspective, I just did a quick count of what I can see, I beleive we paid out more than €300,000 in prize money last year, and I guess we'll pay out double that next year
I know it doesn't mean much but at least you can be reasonably certain we will pay - a while ago I did a rough count and we had paid out more than €2m so far, and unlike any other league that is around outside of asia, we are a well established company that is dedicated to making esports happen every day
Early next year we will have caught up a lot more
Gl, Country Championship.
(Though you could have picked a better name)
Though you could work on the ESL website!
Spliiting the playing teams - which it would have done - was never a good move.
A decent decision for once, well I never.
CB sups are just too cocky, this time NC should have been run by ESL. And then we can finaly see if ESL is realy that different from CB when it comes to the rules, and sticking to them.
But both don't pay prizemoney, so people should stop whining about that since there is no prize money anyway for online ET!
