This tournament is just the beginning of the next chapter in Crossfire's history, all being well Crossfire 4 will be released at some point during the event.

Sick! Can't wait!
omg omg omg!!

sick stuff from toss!
berlin!!!!!!!!!

but why the fuck is the title called Battle for berlin

didnt get it
hmmm bf1942 nostalgia anyone?
Parent
at first i was like you really skipped some history lessons, but than i was like oh i fell for the troll :(
Parent
are there even 16 teams
Would be very nice if this tournament could show up 16 skilled teams. Hope to see some old faces back and some new teams besides current clans with real leaders who can keep any lame group together and make it worthy to be considered as a team.

EngRish?
e: Hungary Jatszunk.
d: This worth much than CB:EC, already.
Awesome :D
so the cup is for the ec teams - top 16 teams? oO
e:would be nice to see crossfire hosting some kind of an EPS - EAS :o
what is EPS-EAS?
Parent
2 leagues - 12 teams or so
3 lowest after a season are going down into league 2
1,2 and 3rd going up into league 1 ;p
Its just like football
Parent
thats cool, but its a bit shit for players that aint as good as the players that are abel to play in those divisions.
like me
Parent
well there could be like 4 leagues or so ;o
Parent
Such things are always better handled by a CB or ESL imo.
Parent
there is a reason for the million of flamejournals towards CB and why the ET league for ESL are pretty dead :p
Parent
Whatever the big league org is in a game they're always gonna get flamed :D
Parent
yeh, thats true. But the flame keeps getting worse and worse, so there must be a reason for it :) gl with this top-16 team thingy tho
Parent
my idea which i have for more then 2years ..... but it's hard to make it. cause there are everytime teams dieing and shit and then u have to creat a schedule, maybe with a forced date to play or if they didn't found a day in the week that u force it then and who don't show up, will get a def lose, like the eas in esl.
Parent
Teams don't last several season.
Parent
Unless teams like anexis and such will come to play it too:=)
Parent
f6
d
anexis
Parent
Reaction to Robacieks video!
Quotethe top 16 teams in the game


Not cool :[ A league moderated by Crossfire admins(the non-idiots) with leagues would be cool tho.
LAN in berlin?:) Nice post!
QuoteThe goal behind this tournament is show once and for all how online competitions should be covered! Coverage


Guess not
Parent
online lan in berlin!
Parent
Hope the real top teams will participate.
good job.. about time u did something :)

Get the real top teams in it and it should be awesome !
avi as backup!
You aren't allowed to do this, you have to make a 5on5 tournie instead and kill ET again!!!!!!

ps. Nice!
A BfB in ET? Trickery! ;)
nice work, like the banners but I had hoped for something new rather than double elim brackets from a group stage, not that I can think of much else.

e: oh not a group stage ;)
: )

Happy days!
I am avi for this !
Tosspot saving ET, yes he can :)
2 bad its not a LAN :D

Good luck to the teams! looks nice

Parent

Quote Crossfire will also be forming a council, which will directly influence playing decisions such as configs and policies for this and all upcoming Crossfire events.

Hope it's only for cf events :)))))

Parent

Parent

Parent

Parent
well thats a disappointment....
Parent

Looks really good, nice work toss!
are you giving other teams also the chance to participate, or are you going for an invite tournament?
pretty much invite only i gues. or something like "fight for the 3 last spots" :S
Parent
at first i was like: greaaaat a Lan in Berlin. Gonna be there for sure !

but then i realised: mhhh online only :(
Nice, but why Berlin ?:D
you really want someone to make a WWII 'joke', don't you?^^
Parent
Nah, I just don't get what for they included Berlin in the cup name.
Parent
still didn't? well ok, even though a few have mentioned it already:
WWII shooter <-> something that took place in WWII
Parent

Parent
I have no interest in playing CB but this sounds good.
thanks for letting us all know the news that we were all waiting for regarding your current activity level and current interests in terms of the competitive enemy territory scenery.
Parent
oh snap!

shits going down bruv
Parent
:D

still playing?
Parent
still? Didn't I quit after brink final ? ;d
Parent
dunno, thought i saw u in some gtv lineup once
Parent
Got alot of fakers man, you know that!
Parent
I chuckled a bit at "council", but whatever gets the job done.

GL with this
So now you're forming a committee afterall, "The Man" selects his comrades, the man who is not in charge of the community, the man who youre not supposed to fight since he plays no role.. interesting.
why do you even bother replying if you dont say anything?
Parent
I've linked your comment to at least 10 other people. One person had a theory on what the fuck you were trying to say, but to be honest I think even they didn't know.

Decem, you've smoked too much and your brain has turned to jelly. My post made 100x more sense than yours and it wasn't even proper English.
Parent
isn't it pretty clear that he's trying to imply that TosspoT has said that he isn't in charge of the community and doesen't play a role in the decision regarding ET, but now is forming a committee to make sure that the decisions to be made will be suitable for him.

or then I just got it totally wrong..
Parent
Quotethe man who youre not supposed to fight since he plays no role.. interesting.


??
Parent
you're not supposed to criticize TosspoT for the decisions made (ie. change from 6on6 to 5on5) as he had no role in making them?
Parent
And what has any of this got to do with Crossfire announcing a new cup for people to play in?
Parent
I believe that his comment was only about this sentence in the news post: "Crossfire will also be forming a council, which will directly influence playing decisions such as configs and policies for this and all upcoming Crossfire events."
Parent
Thanks for the 'Decem -> English' translation service :D
Parent
you're most welcome!
Parent
pretty much what twidi said, but this has more history between me and tosspot (the person I wrote the message to ;)

I wrote a little something questioning the way things are handled within the community, you might remember since you replied to The Thread also (with the infamous 'wat').
I was lucky enough to receive an answer from the man itself while unfortunate enough to have his reply completely lack subjectivity. While at it, he happened to mention "your not fighting 'the man' anymore you're just waffling. "
Which is the point I want to return to, the man who doesn't make the calls 'anymore' simply just happens to form a committee / a panel of people who are in charge of "directly influencing playing decisions such as configs and policies for this and all upcoming Crossfire events".
Parent
man you're so dumb.. sure decem is retarded and obviously dropped out of school at a young age, but pretty easy to understand what he said
Parent
It would have been sufficient to say smth like oh nice, good job. But then i realised it was invite only for 16 teams and you couldnt even get into EC this season. Probably the reason ur pissed at this news.
Parent
You just seem to have it all figured out, dont you? :D
If you want to know my opinion about the news itself, it is great, more activity, no reason for me to be pissed, pretty self-explanatory actually.
It's just that I find your leaders activities sometimes amusing, no need to get mad my friend.
Parent
owned by ross, deal with it and gtfo
Parent
yo! my favorite nolifer, whats up?
Parent
pretty sure ur the one that sits on crossfire every hour of day and not me :(((
Parent
hehe, still being funny it seems :P
Parent
Looking forward to this. Hopefully get a few nice games out of this cup!
i expect to see pottys allstars playing
Parent
I wish I could say Potty's allstars were playing. But for now we are taking a short break from Gaming. We are focusing on gold at the olympics!
Parent
fuck, could of been a really great tournament... oh well, good luck at the olympics!
Parent
really! i was excited as i clicked stck
Name steelers! Have words, son.
Parent
i hope TosspoT lawsuits them !
Parent
Well, you might say even this battle for berlin is stealing the name from the RtCW tournament that Mortal organized ages ago. ;)
Parent
OH MY GOD. They look the most nerdiest people I have ever seen :DD
Parent
well yeah, i gotta agree there are less nerdier looking SC2 players then those 6 :D
Parent
Remember me of "USA Tourney Battle for Berlin" 2004 in Wolfenstein :)
nice stolen the event name, doesnt matter dQ is ready to win that shit.
