With the recent and concurrent heated debate over decisions made by CB to move to 5v5, many leagues and competitions have been quick to declare their stance, perhaps feeling a personal duty to side with those who called differently from ClanBase. Throughout this period, Crossfire have maintained their transparency on the issue, with no immediate upcoming plans for competitions allowing them to take a step back and analyse how successful either format remains following the transitory annoucement by Adacore.
When the crevasse showgame was arranged, the decision to play the game in 5v5 was made for several reasons including a desire to aim the map at the most prestigious mappool, that being of course the EuroCup. During the game, we also tested several aspects of a new config which had been in development previously. The tests were wholly successful and it is with pleasure that Crossfire are able to annouce the release of their certified online and offline (lan) configs. Crossfire continues to stay atop the fence regarding the issue of 5v5 / 6v6. The official quotable stance:
With no current active tournaments, and no timeframe defined for our next tournament, we will refrain from making a commitment at this early stage.
Included in the config pack comes both 5v5 and 6v6 versions of configs, all certified: 5v5 online, 5v5 LAN, 6v6 online, 6v6 LAN. The LAN configs are designed for a CPC type event, however a seperate 5v5/6v6 LAN config is also available for organisers of other LANs to fully utilise. You can find that pack HERE.
The Crossfight configs, to be used in all Crossfire based competitions, include the following changes:
An annoucement regarding the actual Crossfight competition will come shortly. We would be grateful if users could refrain from asking any questions at this time, and wait for our official press release shortly. Crossfight will be played on Crossfire 3 and will launch roughly a week after the site does. Your patience is appreciated with this issue.
Crossfire to continue competitive support
