CB will only play euro servers ;/


the only reason AUS didn't enter a NC team.

CB doesnt have to host it :)

Could be a Crossfire vs Gamearena game.

Crossfire put there best 6 from Europe
Gamearena put there best 6 from Aus / NZ / Japan

Get a Neutral server and BANG a Good ETTV game.

We could even have a Tri-nations :) Including the USA

if you can set up a server in hawii :)

best ping australians and asians could get to america (mexico server) is about 180

it's logistically very hard to set any kind of america vs australia match up, let alone europe vs australia. i mean come on you euros complain about a ping over 80! it'd be 200 vs 200 at best. australians seem very open to playing with that ping, but unfortunately i doubt many high skill american/euro players are (and really, why should they be?).

hopefully in future games more aussie teams follow mo*'s lead and make it to quakecon :)

Australia created an All-star team to take on a H3rf organised US all-star team. Unfortunately H3rf & co. could not agree to any even-ish ping servers & thus the game never happened.

I don't see why they shouldn't play on an even ping angelus, and fail to see what 'high sjill' has to do with anything, unless there's an ego factor with potentially losing. Ofc if you want to play a match with a team on the other side of the world there will be high pings.

I got the nod for a texas based server before asking CB about NC. Arni was getting around 100ish ping, I was getting 200 or so.

Well within the limits of playable.

GA El Kef is a modification of SW El Kef. I contacted Marko about making some changes to his map to make it more comp friendly, and he then engaged with the GA ET community via the GA forums in order to make some positive changes.

The basic layout and structure of the map is the same, but there are a number of changes -
Axis spawn to 30
Dyno wall that opens up access to CP removed
Passages to CP area widened
Ladder at first-stage flag moved slightly
Much better FPS
etc.

Most people share this feeling.

Terrible map decision by the admins. While it may be an ok map if people played it, I don't think one match has been played on it by a top 8 team since it's been released. Our gameops still want to promote new things, which is great, but not for finals please.
