News
Soon season 2 of the koth competition will start, dressed in new clothes! Under the new name Crossfight and an altered/improved format, we hope to see some very nice games over the coming weeks and months.
I would like to confirm now that we will be running the competition in 6v6. We will use the Crossfight 6v6 Online config, a download can be found here.
To find the starting teams, we will be running a short 'cup' on Wednesday 8th November. The signup limit is 20 teams, with 5 groups of 4 teams giving 2 qualifiers from each group. This results in 10 Crossfight teams plus
cdap oddjob who have already qualified. While these teams will begin in Crossfight, their places are open to be taken by outside clans who challenge them. More details about this can be found in the rules.If your clan wishes to take part in Crossfight, please click here and include your clanname as it appears on Crossfire. If your clan is not registered already, please go to the register page. Signups are first come, first serve. Please only apply if you are realistically Opencup Premier skill or higher. Don't worry if I don't reply!
I mentioned that the format has changed. Crossfight is now fully integrated into Crossfire 3 and uses an easy-to-use user interface to schedule matches and manage your Crossfight agenda. This will become apparent when the section goes live after the conclusion of this cup. A list of all the rules and format details can be seen on the rules page (live soon). A cup page will be updated with signups and a bracket, you can find it here (starting cup page).
Signups are now closed, thank you!
now its 6on6?
what are you guys doing
<3
On the other hand, one of the main reason CB did the move is the CPC #2, which was announced to be hosted in a 5v5 format. Since it takes roots on Crossfire, I assume everybody here thought you would host your cup in the 5v5 format either...
Pretty weird decision, hope you will react :/
We didn't, no formal announcement on cpc#2 team sizes has been made
Everybody here can quote TosspoT and the majority of xfire crew arguing on the fact that "a LAN is easier to host in a 5v5 format" "cybers are made for 5o5 or smaller, a change in the ET format would make it easier" etc ... I'm not saying you stated it clearly, just that you left many clues saying that the LAN will be a 5v5 one.
You can call me Lolita if the news that TosspoT made right after the CPC #1 (assuming 2 days after it) didn't include the 5v5 format argument.
I think you're the one making some pretty weird assumptions here!
unexpected
that's the funniest conspiracy story I've seen for quite a while
I will have this changed to 5on5 so that zP win.
rocks :D
<3 foonr
keep up the good work
Admins of the most important leagues (cb, wl, esl, cf) should talk about it together and then stick to one game format.. either 5on5 or 6on6
to the admins: don't only think about the profit for your own league. like a few did when they switched back from 5on5 to 6on6 etc etc.
if u want to get a good reputation for et as a game you should not change that many things so that clans die.. et already has a bad publicity from all those 2 weekers (+cheaters too)
looks like ET is under the top 10, drect after cod2 + cs :)
6o6 > 5o5
(c) flame
we (and other leagues/cups) did not follow allmighty CB with a rule we do not like and accept.
thats a BIG difference.
Humans fail but they also can recognize the error and "fix" it.. They just have to fight against the pride/ego
I will be loling if the CPC2 will be 5on5, this stuff 6on6, cb tards 5on5, ESL 6on6. Fuck it.
Just play god damn 6on6 and get one config for everyone. Make community united, not fucked up like it's now.
this whine mostly is adressed to cb, but all leagues can go fuck themselves with their new configs
so useless to play 5on5 just for ec while all other competitions are 6on6
(I play both but if u ask me what i like to play more i say 5on5)
Thanks for making this 6on6, the only league 5on5 now is still CB, the future of 6on6 keeps looking brighter every day
6on6 ftw ! :D
CB has to react if its like that and we had 3 month of very interesting discussions, polls, journals and threads
so what will be the next senseless discussion? forbid mp´s???
gl
gl all
but hey
if its much easier anyways to find a 5on5 location
why dont u announce it then?
and if u announce it now for january or february people can book flights to london pretty cheap!
For example if you would play 6on6 you would look for a place that could hold 12 people. (Remember is an example!)
And if it would be 5on5 you would look for , well you get it.
And if you really don't know yet then your organisation of a LAN is shit.
Furthermore as many poeple already mentioned we need ONE Config for all cups and leagues not 5 different.
Maybe the admins of all leagues can found a kind of association in which questions like "5v5 or 6v6" are discussed in detail. So we have one direction the community goes.
SO PLS MT...ÖHM Xfire( ;) ) choose ur sides :D
But if Crossfire will use 5v5 at CPC2 they just boost the process of splitting the community, because Clanbase has a reason to keep playing 5v5.
=> they have the most power for changes
potter/reload sux
and this 5on5/6on6 switching is really pissing me off. 6on6 > 5on5. But still I cant really care anymore if it is 5on5 or 6on6, just pick either one and stop this nonsense.
and... where is idle? :<
