Our goal is to compete in most major cups (Eurocup, uQ cup and of course upcoming LANs). We'll be called sFx.LAN, so you can't confuse us with sFx.evil who still exist and are still a 100% finnish team.

Should idle be scared?

Porco Dio, Xylos el pro rifle nader from Italia has released his movie! Eurocup regular over the past few seasons, Xylos has partnered with EVA to produce his movie.

Weighing in at 250mb large, and 10 minutes long the movie is dedicated to the one and only Xylos in all of its mp4 glory.

Creator Eva had this to say:

Quote

Well it started at the begining the summer when xylos contacted me to ask me to make his movie. I always tried to develop my skill as a movie maker and I think I succeded.
From the very first demo I saw that xylos is a great fragger with smg & rifle but specifically with rifle. In my opinion this is the best rifle frags that I've seen and this really helped motivate me during the production of the movie.

Since the completion of the first Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge we have been mobbed by requests for information on the next event. We'd like to thank everyone for their interest and their support, its this that is driving us to build on the success of this past weekend.

So, with that in mind we're proud to announce that planning work has begun on the second installment of the CPC and as we look into things further and venues, there is a realisation that gaming centers around the world are geared to 5on5 when they are built. When Quakecon was announced as 5on5, we went with 6on6 because we were not willing to go with an untested gametype. However, the success of Quakecon this year playing 5on5 has made going with 5on5 a viable option. We will openly state now, that the next CPC has a big chance of being played 5on5 for ET due to the logistical problems 6on6 presents, and the successful demonstration by Quakecon that 5on5 can work.

Other than that, we will include Call of Duty once again, and we are exploring a small RTCW tournament, however that may be subject to the same roster sizes that ET gets.
We learnt alot this weekend, and we will be building on that for the future as Crossfire continues to evolve!

Battle For Berlin is a fully prized and sponsored North American RtCW tournament for the community by the community. The tournament will be starting in early November, but team registration is open now. The tournament format will be a double elimination 3v3. There will be 32 teams of 3-5, 3 starters and 2 backups.

With an array of sponsors, including NewBreed Hosting, CafePress, Radio iTG, Filanthropy, and Chaos Productions all putting their resources towards this great event. We have a dedicated team of admins, graphic designers, video editers, and shoutcasters working to bring this together.

As the PCGear.nl webshop we are glad to be a part of the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge and that we can sponsor some prizes for the teams participating in the ET and CoD2 Tournaments. We are sponsoring the following prizes for the PrizeFight Challenge :

5x 80mm Blue LED Fans (CoD Winners)
6x 120mm Red LED Fans (ET Winners)
5x Blue 30cm Neontubes6 (CoD 2nd place)
6x DDR/DDR2 copper heatspreaders (ET 2nd Place)
1x Plantronics .90 headset (Tournament MVP)
3x 10 ventrilo slots (TBD)
11x 10% discount vouchers (1st place winners)


We already wish all the participating teams good luck and have fun in the tournaments, and we hope to see you all at the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge!

Team Delta have unfortunately announced today that they will not be travelling to Rotterdam this weekend. Due to complications with their travel sponsor the poles have now dropped from the tournament completely.

This leaves one spot open to any team that can attend, this is again being done on a first come first served basis, please contact me in #Crossfire if you would like the place in the last ET lan of 2006!

We know that there are alot of spectators expected to attend, and that there was more interest in the rewind spot, so if you want it come and get it. There are no restrictions in place for this team.

Based on yesterday's announcement of seeds and poules, today sees the full match schedule announced for the matches that are known.

We are proud to announce that Inside the Game will be providing a live video stream from the event, and that GamesTV.org will be both on site and online bringing what only they can and that is of course ETTV!
The video stream from iTG will be using the Octoshape Peer to Peer streaming technology, which had its test run this weekend with the Games Convention Stream and i28 from which the feedback was fantastic.

All teams are reminded to check The CPC Guide for information regarding rules and travel. Teams must check in 45 Minutes before their matches, so if you start at 9.30 or 10.00 make sure you have an easy Friday night :)

We have worked hard on making sure that our seedings are accurate and that our tournament structure is the most accurate reflection of the current competitive setup and when you click readmore you'll see the full see seeding structure and coming soon the updated tournament structure.

This weekend will see the trailer to the documentary produced regarding the Crossfire team debuted on the Video Stream from the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge.
On Tuesday it will be launched into the Crossfire 3 Downloads and Movie section of the new site and having seen the trailer, I have to say Richard who filmed and edited has surpassed even his own high standards and I look forward to peoples reactions.

On another topic completely -

Regarding the Crossfire Recruiting Post
To give more information as to what we are looking for, we would like some generic logos created that can be used over and over again for specific subjects. For example a Clanbase logo that when a column is written about clanbase we post this logo with it. Subjects for the logos vary, from ET, CoD, RTCW, Cheating, Interviews, Fragmovies, Tutorials. Make them varied, unique we will use many of them, many times.
We need two sizes of the logo - One in 100(width) x 60 pixels and one 150(width) X 150 pixels.
