Efforts to get activity back to our scene can not only be found here on Crossfire but also in the land down under, Australia! In a first attempt admin
biggz got a respactable number of 27 teams back to activity playing regular ladder matches. Now there has been a tournament established that even caused interest over here in Europe.Maybe also known for recent cash prized tournaments within the CoD4 EU scene, it is the CyberGamer League that now put a total of $750 cash for Enemy Territory up for grabs. 12 teams battle in a Premier League as well as an Amateur League for the desirable jackpot.
Next to the best teams from Australia and New Zealand, European top team
Mouse Control couldn't refuse the opportunity and signed up for the competition. Also players from other continents like 
anim or 
Kirark can be found in the top teams. The draw of the two leagues looks like this:Premier League
- Fast Five
- Horses
- xFx eSports
- Mouse Control
Cook me sum fuckin eggs
- Team Elevate
Amateur League
- TOG Legends
- goodgamez
- Undying Passion
- altitude
- Resurrection
- Fickle Old Apathetic Dudes
Topmatch
First matches are being played at the time and Mouse Control will face their first opponent tomorrow midday at 12:30 CET. The match can of course be followed on your ETTV screen. On a side note and already mentioned by biggz, CyberGamer could also be a new possible competition platform for ET in Europe.
The main aim I had with these leagues was to attract new teams who could play for something without being scared off by players and teams that have been around for a long time. Warrant we didn't get the biggest response but it is a start!
Please keep in mind that ET is only active on the cybergamer.com.au website at this stage and competing teams are restricted to Australian time zones, servers etc.
To get something going on the cybergamer.org (Europe) website we will need support from that site (as they only actively support CoD4 at the moment).
Great work with this though, shame some Europeans have tried to hijack it a bit - what is your game coverage like? hopefully you have some Aussie shoutcaster tucked away somewhere ;)
If no one puts their hand up soon I might even embarrass myself but listeners will subjected some pretty boring and dulcet tones :p
what are the rough times that games will go down CET? I guessed it would be something like 2pm or so?
Sounds about right for cybergamer.org though, maybe in a few months they will be more open to it. I'll have a quick word with one of the founders to get some more info.
It's a shame Mouse Control & any other future international teams will suffer such a huge disadvantage with pings of 300+ but good on them for trying. We know what that's all about from past world cups etc.
xFx have to be favourites to take the league and they should win this one 4-0 with such a ping advantage and their recent good form.
Like myself who flew to Australia to work/study, I'm also happy to those that still find motivation for ET even in a new world region. My hopes are to increase the activity in Aus/NZ :)!
would like to have a chat with u sometime soon!
It's a bit strange to adapt to the new life style. There are a few things but in general it feels like living in the 90's again. I'll look for you on IRC.
It's hella fun
don't use irc so much anymore
gl to all teams!
gl to all though.
are u gonna play ET offi?
ps. nice cup!
Nice to see ET being alive!
