Tonight sees the final of the QWL tournament with the biggest names in QW fighting it out once again. Dignitas and Copenhagen eSports have battled it out several times since the beta and demo but this will be the first time we see them in action in the full release of Quakewars.


Time 21:00 CET
Maps Area 22/Volcano - Decider: Island
Video Stream QuadV with TosspoT & Deman
Restrictions: Player imposed restrictions1 Field Ops deploy, 1 Sniper, 1 Radar, 1 Heavy vehicle. No Heavy on last stage. You can take heavy from what ever spawn u like (e.g. cyclops sewer and titan area). Vehicles inside are ok.

Copenhagen were the first side to beat Dignitas prior to their Quakecon glory in Dallas this summer. In total the teams have met 4 times with the scores now tied at 2 victories each so tonight is the decider between these two heavyweights!

Personally I cannot wait to see this game played on the full released version on open and fast maps. With the restrictions inplace I think we should really get a great idea of where Quakewars is and where its going.

All systems are go for the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 Part 2. With 10,000 Euros up for grabs in the Crossfire Devotii Competition and the Devotii GameIdol tournament for Call of Duty 2 and the RTCW QCUP by QPAD it should be a cracking weekend.

Quote by Christian Scheuerer

We are very pleased to work with the Crossfire community as it has shown a strong development since its foundation and is moreover very active. McPoker went online 2 weeks ago with its new software and takes care of the needs and wishes of gamers. With a lot of new features and special created tournaments made for the Crossfire community McPoker is strongly trying to connect gaming with poker

Says Christian Scheuerer Vice Director team9 Ltd.

Quote by Stuart Saw

For me it is a great honour to partner with a massive organisation who have gaming at its very heart. We're now joined not only with a company who will support us, but a company who used to play RTCW! (Christian used to play in team.de and majesty) What more could I want for Crossfire? Its another great step forward for the Challenge series

Says Stuart "TosspoT" Saw, owner of Crossfire.nu

The MCPoker Tournament at CDC3 will take place at 8pm on Saturday night, before and during (you can play/watch both) the winner bracket final of the ET tournament! Rules and format to follow in the coming days. Payment will be completed using the MCPoker.de software online, so click the banner and join today!

With just a week until the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 the tension is mounting and now its time to turn up the temperature with the ever contentious seeds and groups, along with the schedule! Its also time to announce the final tournament revisions as we've been met with some challenges.

Tournament Revisions

The ET tournament will be 20 teams played in 4 groups of 5 teams, this means that we'll be able to offer teams more matches than at any of the previous tournaments. Further to that, The top two teams will progress to a double elimination bracket and the 3rd and 4th teams will go into a single elimination bracket for their eventual rankings. Again meaning that teams will play more matches than ever before at CDC. However, with this being some 4 teams short of our original plan, we've lost on revenue for prizes, it means the ET prizepool will drop from 6200, to a flat 6000 Euro.

The Warsow Tournament has had massive player changes however today we've settled and confirmed on a 16 player tournament with groups of 4 and a double elimination 8 man bracket emerging from that. Again we've taken a hit on the signups and the prizepurse will be 1200 Euro.

Seeds

Ever the contentious issue! Whilst we have seeded individually, meaning we have a 1st 2nd 3rd seed etc, the primary function of seeds within a group is to seperate them into a group so Dignitas and TLR for example arent in the same group. Keeping the tiers apart from one another is the important factor, not who is 5th vs who is 6th. Seedings were done on results and achievements.

Lastly but not leastly, the Tournament Schedule & Groups. We've tried to accomodate a variety of requests for start times and tried to make the warmup and setup time longer this event. You can view the tournament schedule here. In addition you can see just 2 matches on Saturday night, that is because we will be holding a cash prized poker tournament at 8pm on Saturday. Tommorow we will announce our partner and its prize!

Dervey the Chief Cup Supervisor at Clanbase has told Crossfire that whilst Quakewars has no Opencup as the game is not released, there is the possibility of further featured cups at a later date.

European giants TeK-9 have today won the Clanbase Eurocup finals in Enschede after a thrilling grand final against H2k. In a repeat of the outpost on fire grand final, TeK-9 were taken all the way by the dutch team who will take heart from their recovery after Wonderbase.

H2k 16-14 TeK-9
H2k 10-16 TeK-9

The result came after H2k steamrolled over german side Speedlink earlier in the morning. The team looked most impressive today, erasing the memory of yesterdays defeat on Burgundy.

TeK-9 - 2700 Euro
H2k - 1500 Euro
Speedlink - 1000 Euro
4th tempkids - 800 Euro

Quote by Davy

We played badly at Outpost on Fire and won, here we chose Dawnville against h2k which was a mistake that we got over to win. After wonderbase we're not as afraid of serious as we were, they might still be the top challenger but we havent played them in a while. Anyone can be our rival in CoD2 at the moment, because CoD2 is like CS where any team can win on any day, H2k did really bad at Wondebase and they played so well here. We seem to be the one team that stands out though.
