Last year saw one of the most cleanly-run Enemy Territory LAN tournaments in the game's history. Since then, everybody has speculated if AEF will feature the game at its next installment (supposedly this year). After months of no announcement, hopes grew thin and questions were starting to be asked. Today, Steven Leunens (dfb) confirmed that the event will, sadly, not go ahead due to some complications in the organisation of PCs and other logistical issues.Statement Steven Leunens, Gamevibes BVBA:
"To be honest we were very close to organizing an AEF in 2011 and even had extensive support from the City of Antwerp to help promote the event. However, due to problems with the tournament PC's and some other minor factors we are unable to confirm the event. With the timing in mind (just 1,5 month to the event) we had to make a decision and either take a huge risk or cancel the event. Because we love this community and we want to keep doing these events we didn't want to risk everything and thus the decision came to cancel the event. We want to uphold the quality of our events and we like to think we have continiously set the standard higher for events. Hosting this edition would not only be a big financial risk, it would also jeopardize the reputation the Antwerp eSports Festival has built up.
We have every intention of hosting more events, including large Call of Duty events, and the Antwerp eSports Festival will be back in 2012, since it is very unlikely we will face the same logistical problems as this year. We might also be hosting a smaller event later in the year but more on that will be released if and when we can announce it.
If you have any other questions about this, I'm willing to answer all questions via Twitter: twitter.com/stevenleunens"
This should not be looked on as bad news for Enemy Territory as this year is already proving to bring more events and the number of anual events is likely to grow.

So.. I'm only gonna say:
BRING BACK 6ON6 BITCHES
btw Date set the for signups.. will be at the end of june.
ROSS IS A FAT NERD :DDDDDDD
people are so sad these days.. grow up :p
AEF and Crossfire LAN events have not featured.
1 LAN
Does not mean there will be 5-6 a year, just means with 5on5 there is the potential of, if AEF happened and CiC8 was to come in 2011 there would be 3 bigger LAN events this year and 2 smaller ones. Sadly ET is a very hard sell to organisers and few scene members are doing anything except the normal throwing of toys on crossfire.
6v6 will on the other hand support 0 LANs, with crossfire being the only place to do one in the last four of five years and TosspoT has already mentioned it has no future at his events in that format.
Either way, I prefer 6on6 ^_^
Pay me the flight and you can show me how to lick a fat ass, ross will be happy just because its gonna be his first sexual experience
Nice logic sir, put ur face back to the black hole!
OWND YOU HARD
Just read Merlin's comment though, it has been pointed out many times before but whatever...
sure, crossielan could be considered as such also, but again, we get to the point where the whole fucking game has been changed so that 1-2% of players could potentially enjoy more lans..
to me that's pretty fucked up.
looking at you R0SS
This only shows that the amount of retards and kids jumping on the hate bandwagon is by far bigger than the amount of sane and well respected people.
We are the community, we hold the power. If we want to play 6on6 then we can do, instead we are just dictated by clanbase, ESL, and LANs (even if there is only 1 a year) and none of you nerds do anything about it.
i don't know.
