The Warsow Final is currently underway between Germany BoBel and Netherlands h1o. First map is taken by BoBel which means h1o has to take the second one to remain in the match. Currently BoBel is in the lead with 14-4 and still going good. 2 minutes left and 9 points in favor of BoBel, and he will probably take the €600 reward for coming first at the CDC 3 Warsow Qpad Tournament. h1o takes out BoBel with 1:50 left. Only 4 kills between BoBel and h1o, he is coming closer. 16-13, 3 points within a minute, BoBel kills himself. 1 point left between BoBel and h1o. 10 seconds, 1 point! They meet again, but h1o drops into the lava, and BoBel takes him out. Final score is 16-13, BoBel takes it! Congratulations!

Germany BoBel 2-0 Netherlands h1o

Europe TLR 3-0 Europe Dignitas

Coming up, the Grand Final of the Enemy Territory Tournament at CDC3. Tune in to QuadV at QuadV

Goldrush is the first map! XyLoS picked number 4, which directly meant that Goldrush was picked as the first map. Later on Dignitas picked the number attached to Rader. So Goldrush and Radar it is!

Majority of spectators are going for TLR. Will they be proven right?

And the match is under way! TLR attacking, XyLoS rifling the gate. Jakazc takes out Matias. Dignitas to push out. Match is paused by Dignitas as Reload goes 999. XyLoS and Clown going for the tank, and they take it as Dignitas had 4 deaths at once. TLR makes it impossible for Dignitas to built the barrier. Winghaven takes out Jauhis and is about to put the tank in position, but he gets crushed. TLR have the CP and are in the perfect position to win this round. TosspoT: "Dignitas now have some time to build op their Crossfire, and they need it. THEY NEED IT!" David and Maus push forward, TLR taking a lot of ground, very quickly. Matias takes down Senji. 10:20 seconds left. Jakazc takes out David. TLR are being clustered down at the boxes. Reload holds off TLR. Dignitas inside the bank, defending closely. 5 TLR players together to take the objective. Kot takes one but is shot down by the other 5. Truck is past the barrier. TLR will get the truck away. TosspoT: "At this moment in time, for Dignitas, every second counts!" Clown is pushing the truck forward, but is moving very very slowly. Truck is almost around the corner. TLR have the truck! Dignitas set 11 minutes yesterday. Now TLR set 8 minutes, meaning Dignitas will have to drop their time with 3 minutes!
Away we go. Reload and Jakazc from the side, Jauhis misses the revive and a Support Fire clears everything! TLR deflect the first Dignitas attack. XyLoS with a triple rifle nade! Reload gibs XyLoS. Matias down, three Dignitas players at the back. Reload is the only one left. 6:20 on the board. Jakazc and Reload fix the tank together. Now Dignitas will have to rush towards the banner. Kot takes out the first engineer! But he can't stop Clown. He builds the barrier! Dynamite planted at the barrier. TLR nowhere near the dynamite. Dynamite takes out XyLoS while defusing. Barrier constructed again! What a mistake. And now a defuse by Clown. What is Dignitas doing? 2 minutes left. Barrier down, tank past it. Tank damaged! Last chance for Dignitas. Winghaven takes down Urtier. TLR takes out all of Dignitas. TLR takes map 1. They lost Goldrush yesterday, and take it in the Grand Final. What a performance!

Radar! Dignitas plant at side. Kot takes down XyLoS. Jauhis takes down mAus. TLR collapse under the pressure! They lost Main AND side. Jakazc repairs CP! mAus retakes the bunker. Dignitas pick up the flag. East parts picked up and dropped again. XyLoS 1 on 1 versus Reload with luger. And he takes him down! Jakazc picks up parts from the side. David returns the parts just before Dignitas arrives. East parts secured, 7:35 on the clock. Dignitas making their way forward. Kot going for West Parts, but XyLoS takes it back. TLR holding on well. 4 minutes left! TLR are in favor for the title. Parts picked up but dropped right after. TLR save themselves again. Winghaven saves the day as both Kot, Senji and Jauhis picked up the parts. 1:30 left. Dignitas pushing through. 3 frags by mAus, even a 4th. And you can already say that it's over! Are TLR going to hold Dignitas? Winghaven with a double support fire. Jakazc clears two with support fire. And it's over! TLR are the champions. 3-0, GG!

CDC3 - ET Play Offs

image: POBANNER

With the Group Matches almost being over, were about to start the ET Play Offs. Instead of using the regular method of A versus B and C versus D, we're going to have a draw. FA Cup style. All the numbers 1 of the Groups are put in a Poule, and all the numbers 2 of the Groups in another Poule.

As shown on the QuadV stream just moments ago, the ET's upper bracker round 1 drawn:
image: BRACKET

Dignitas vs. SRP

Dignitas and SRP are due to meet again, this time in the lower bracket. One of them is going to take the finals spot in the Grand Final. The match is about to be played at 13:45. Make sure you tune in on the QuadV live stream or ETTV to watch the match!

Europe Dignitas 2-4 Europe TLR

The words wow just really dont describe this match. Number 1 and Number 2 seed went head to head with one another and they were so evenly matched until the death that it was compelling viewing with skill of the highest order.

Dignitas won Goldrush but it was incredibly strange. They sluggishly completed the objectives with no great urgency. TLR with mAus and Xlyos were brilliant in defence at all stages, however dignitas were able to set an 11 minute time. Surely TLR could beat that? Well to do that you've got to actually get the tank, something that proved difficult for TLR! It took them 7 minutes to get the tank and surely at that point the game was lost? Not on your nellie! Dignitas fell apart the tank went to the bank with a ferrari engine inside it and we had just 2 minutes left TLR were all over dignitas. mAus had the gold under the bridge ready to move it into the truck only for senji the last man of dignitas to destroy him and his teammate with a double luger frag. Entertaining? You bet!

Dignitas attacked supply depot first and the general theme of the map was going to be quite the same. Dignitas attacked, TLR collapsed and someone in TLR would pull something magnificent out of the bag here it was Xylos and Matias reviving and defusing 3 dignitas dyno's on the first stage. Dignitas moved on pretty quickly through the command post and the main entrance but were held trying to get the truck in position. With 8 minutes played, Dignitas got both the truck in position and to the shock of everyone the crane controls built at the same time. They set a time of nine and a half minutes and the game was afoot. TLR attacked fluently and they were always ahead of their opponents time until the they moved the truck out of the depot and got stuck on the road out, tension builds with just a minute left however TLR save their blushes with a move away.

Onto Bremen - TLR attack and push Dignitas a long way quickly. Picking up the main entrance and planting it at the same time. They push away and with some good attacks and some horrible dignitas defences they are away with Matias and the objective. The Dignitas house of cards fell losing the command post as the objective went and the truck was TLR property shortly after. They put time on the clock once the truck was just stopped out of the garage but dAvid cleared the truck and ran it home. 6.02 to beat for Dignitas. The wind was very much in TLR's sails at this point but Dignitas soon took it out of them by taking the first stage mighty fast. However when it came to the command post and the documents it would be a different story. TLR's crossfire was brilliant and other than one Command Post attack and one document grab the game was over, and it was.

TLR won the match however 4-2 should say all you need to know if you missed it! It was close on all of the maps and tommorow Dignitas will be back and hungry for success

CoD2 Eurocup Advances

image: COD2-3

It's been a while since you heard something of the Call of Duty 2 Eurocup. No wonder though because the tournaments seems to be advancing very slow and we had a short interval with all the CoD2 attention being focused on the WSVG tournament in Dallas, USA.

Currently we're awaiting the Upper Bracket Final between German side SPEEDLINK and the Fins of Logitech.fi. But let's not forget the Lower Bracket where we have seen some surprises already. First of all it was pretty surprising to see both Team Dignitas and TeK-9 in meeting in the first Lower Bracket Round. Two teams who were both present at the WSVG were facing each other and in overtime TeK-9 took the win! The WSVG champions are now facing defusekids in the Lower Bracket Round 2.

The other match in the second Lower Bracket Round is Impact.TCI versus H2k.Qpad. Impact managed to beat eSuba in the first Lower Bracket round and H2k.Qpad dropped after a loss versus Logitech.fi.

ETQCup: Upper Bracket Semi-Final

image: etqcup2

You might have wondered what happened to the ETQCup hosted by Cadred.org in cooperation with Qpad... Well it just went on and the matches were played, some forfeited. But why didn't I hear of anything then could be your next question. Good point, I don't know. So here we are, nearing the end of the cup with only 3 teams left in the Upper Bracket and a whole bunch of matches to be played in the Lower Bracket.

Team Dignitas already qualified for the Upper Bracket final, after a disappointing Eurocup, by beating the fairly new and unknown side of Fear Factory X-Fi who surprised everything and everyone by winning over the Eurocup Winners Evolve Gaming in a two map game.

Now as the first Upper Bracket finalists is already known we'll have to focus on the second finalist and that is still a vacant spot, tempting two sides to step up and grab it.

So tonight Ladies and Gentlemen, we'll see the tense second Semi-Final in the Upper Bracket of the Cadre ETQCup. The fight between Insignia Cadre itself(!) and Impact Gaming. Two sides with the words "Finland" dripping all over it, one more than the other.

Quote by Statement eVo: Impact ManagerWell although Impact haven't been practicing much I'd like to think we have been playing well in the Cadre Q Cup. The maps will be a deciding factor and also if bremen is chosen Twidi's ability to lame with the MG42 might make a difference. Close game however I think Impact will take it.

Quote by Statement twidi: Cadre PlayerWe haven't been practicing much lately due to summer holidays and so on, but Impact hasn't been practicing any more than us what I've heard. So I guess both teams are not in their top shape, but I'm expecting it to be quite an exciting game and definately worth to watch!

CoD2 Eurocup

image: COD2-3

Where the ET Eurocup was finished a week ago; the Call of Duty 2 S&D Eurocup is still in it's Play Off phase. With 4 teams left in the Upper Bracket. And 4 teams left in the Lower Bracket.

Call of Duty 2 has been a part of this community site for quite a long time now but despite the efforts by some newswriters here, I recall Sainted and there are more out there, the game never felt like it was really covered here at Crossfire.nu. But still the game gets just as much prize money as ET on the CPC tournaments. And how many of those CoD2 players are really actively participating on this site. I'm not sure, but think not many, and you can't blame them; there's nothing for them to watch here.

After covering the final stage of the ET Eurocup XV I decided that now is the time to get the CoD2 community more involved here on Crossfire.nu. So where do we start. Let's just take a look at the current stage of the Eurocup: the Play Offs.

Eurocup MVP Top 6!

image: mvpb


After 3 days of voting I decided to call it a day. It was a good trial but the system and the script just didn't work properly which meant a chaotic list of players (which was my own fault actually) and some highly suspicious high scores.

Because of the fact that I think that some of these scores weren't gained in the fair way, I decided to ignore the votes of LoTHaR. This player played with Retro this EC and this team actually lost all matches without winning one round, the fact that he got enough votes to be in the Top 6 means that either someone has voted multiple times, which wasn't very hard taking in account the security of this scripts, or he just has a lot of fanboys who voted him for the wrong reasons.

So without any further ado here is the Eurocup Most Valuable Players Team:
1. Belgium
This player is maybe one of the best aimers ET has nowadays, he proved to be of great value to his team TLR.eSports, who missed the final by losing to Pro5 in the Lower Bracket. Without a doubt he was voted for the right reasons. A great player!


2. Italy
This man knows everything about his gun, how the grenade will bounce when he hits that surface over there, or where he has to aim to hit his opponent around the corner (without using wallhack of course.), besides he just has a great aim with his slow shooting rifle, and he actually won the Eurocup with his team Evolve Gaming, formerly known as Polar. This rifler is worth watching.


3. United Kingdom
What can you say about sqzz... He jumps like a monkey and heals like a nurse. He's just a great team player, always running behind to be around when someone is down. He must have more syringe shots than SMG shots after the game. You can't win without a team player like sqzz, and Evolve have not lost once this Eurocup so you can say that sqzz did what he was asked to.


4. Germany
butchji is a great player with an aim comparable to mAus. The fact that his team reached the final after playing every single Lower Bracket match and beating Impact Gaming, Insignia Cadre, Team Dignitas and TLR.eSports in a row says enough about the team and also about their captain butchji. No doubt this player was of great value to his team. No doubt he was one of the Most Valuable Players...


5. Finland
A legend and maybe also in this Top 6 due to his massive fanboy club, but still he deserves it. You can't blame the team for the disappointing result this Eurocup, neither can you blame mystic. Who's to blame then? Blame the opponents, they were just too good, too organized. But still mystic was a memorable player. Going back to active again with such a come-back is what a lot of legends dream off.


6. Malta
Last but not least, the third player of Evolve Gaming, and surely the back bone of the team. This guy from the small island of Malta made his country proud by winning the Eurocup, and not only just by being in the winning team, but also by being decisive. He is just a great overall player and a great leader. Surely of high value to his team.


So here is what will happen next. A still to be formed panel will decide who of this six players will become the ultimate Most Valuable Player of the Eurocup XV. The Crossfire users have spoken and their idol was mAus, but what will the panel decide? Keep an eye on this site because it won't be long.

Furthermore there will be an article posted soon where some of the most known people of this community share us their Most Valuable Player Team, and we will ask them why those six players, and what they think of the outcome of this poll.

Thank you very much for all your votes and I promise you next event (maybe CPC3) this will be better organised preventing people from voting multiple times.

Eurocup Grand Final - evolve wins

Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally there. The one and only Grand Final of the Eurocup XV will be played tomorrow. Two teams have gone through a lot to reach the highest stage in this tournament, especially Pro5 who have played 8! matches of which 5 against European top teams and they only lost one of them.

With the end of the Eurocup the vote for the Most Valuable Players is open.

After some discussions I have changed my view and have removed the banned players from the list.

World Cup: Play Offs

image: banner

This night brings us a clash. One that has been repeated many times in recent history. Not in a gaming server nor in a swimming pool but on the football pitch. The teams of Portugal and The Netherlands have fought out many important battles over the last years and those matches always contained fire and extraordinary pictures.

I bet you'll all remember the last time they met at the World Cup 2006 in Germany where there was a mountain of yellow and red cards given by the referee. I dare to say that any meeting between Portugal and The Netherlands is as tense one. And therefore all of you should look forward to this match:
image: sb2_nl_pt

Portugal, with a fairly unknown history in ET, are a team to take account of because they won two excellent matches in their group over Canada and Denmark, and then lost by only one round to the current reigning NC Champions Finland.

On the other hand we have a whole new fresh Dutch side. Players like Modus and N30 have replaced teKoa and M1lk. Though they have already showed their class against opponents like Australia and Norway. Now are the dutchies able to beat a team like Portugal? Be sure to tune in at gamestv.org.

International Sunday

We're in the 3rd match round already with the exception of one match today and the World Cup is advancing towards the Play Offs Phase. Somewhat less than a month ago it all started with Portugal - Denmark a the first match and we're almost at the end of the Group Phase now. A few nations already qualified like Croatia and Finland, they are sure of a spot in the Play Offs. Tomorrow will bring us a spectacle of matches. With meetings starting at 15:00 (GMT+1).

Eurocup: Final Battles

image: PlayOffs

Last week two of ET's finest sides met face to face for one of the most epic battles the game has ever known. Of course I'm talking about Dignitas - TLR. It was a tense second round of the Eurocup Winner Brackets. Quite early, when some teams even had to play the first round. Polar had already taken down Insignia Cadre with a 4-0 win. They were the first team to qualify for the Winner Bracket Final. TLR followed as I already mentioned with a 4-2 win over Dignitas last Thursday.

image: POUB1

After beating Impact; Pro5 will take on Insignia Cadre tomorrow! With all the speculations about Keran and Shy being cheaters Pro5 are in a difficult position and maybe even facing a disqualification. Will Pro5 be able to beat Cadre and advance to the 3rd round of the Lower Brackets? Who knows?

Monday, 28 May 2007
Finland Cadre: Finland Twidi, Finland Cadein, Finland Squall, Finland Kmble, Finland Lettu, Finland Chmpp
Germany Pro5: Germany Butchji, Germany Drago, Germany Keran, Germany Hatred, Switzerland Gifty, Germany Ramin

90 Minutes to the match and I caught up with Cadre\Twidi. With Pro5 recently winning over a big name in the game: Impact, how does that make Twidi look at his chances for tonight?
Quote
Finland Cadre\Twidi

Well.. I'm not really worried about them winning Impact, but we haven't been praccing much lately so that might be a problem. Guess the hackers are in favour for this game, but we'll see how it goes.

- Rough words; could you shine your light over the whole situation with Shy_ and Keran?

A bit problematic situation, can't say any straight opinion if they should be banned or not. Shy_ isn't playing for them anymore tho as far as I know, so it's only keran left, but can't say, very hard situation.

- As you said Keran is still there and will be playing tonight. Any comment on that?

ClanBase hasn't banned him yet atleast so he is allowed to play tonight and there's nothing we can do about it. So we'll just play the game tonight normally and lets see how it goes then.

- Did you and your teammates for one moment think about not playing against P5?

Nah, didn't have that kind of thoughts, as I know they're still allowed to play and refusing to play wouldn't help at all.

- You're close to elimination now since it's the Lower Bracket, how are the nerves?

Not taking too much pressure and since we haven't prepared that well my hopes aren't that high, but I guess it should still be a pretty good game tonight so I'm just going to enjoy playing whether we lose or not.

- Finally, who's going to win this Eurocup?

Dignitas!

- Thank you for your time.


I also took some time with Pro5`Butchji. At the moment I caught up with him he was having a practice. I asked him if they were practicing new tactics to beat Cadre.
Quote
GermanyPro5`Butchji

Well we made new tactics when we recruited RamiN but today we tried to perfect them.

- Why is Keran still playing whilst _shy is kicked?

We replaced _shy with RamiN because _shy wasn't very motivated and not because of his little public adventure.

- As Bulld0g said it's a 90% chance that Keran will be banned and with that Pro5 might get disqualified. What will your reaction be towards Keran would this happen?

I still love him even though he's so dumb! <3

- And he's off to Practice again...



I asked some players who is going to win tonight.

Netherlands Lightning
Pro5

Germany Pumu
Pro5 - "cheaters always win!"

Belgium mAus
Dunno...

United Kingdom Sheep
Pro5 - "It's gonna be hard for Cadre without their rifle and in-game leader, and the recent addition of second/ramin to the pro5 lineup just adds to the blow, 4:2 to Pro5 is my guess."

Netherlands Wesbo
Pro5 - "You should ask someone else if you want a good prediction havent seen both play in ages though Pro5 recently beated Impact which should give them enough moral to win this one as well."

Malta toxic
Cadre - "cos MulSu isn't playing!"

United Kingdom eVo
Cadre - "I think they will win a clean 4:0 game"

Finland Decem
Pro5 - "I can see this going either way, gonna bet on the team with higher odds. If I have to give a score, I'd say 4-2 for P5."

Germany WhiningDJ / FlyingDJ
Pro5 - "ramiN is an excellent addition to the team, that's why!"

Netherlands NxM
Cadre - "!"

Now this is a big one. Two teams that already met in the Group Phase. They were both in Group C. After winning the CPC2 LAN and winning over Dignitas in the last Upper Bracket Round, TLR is the big favorite of the Eurocup. Though they lost to Junk52 (at that time still Polar) in the Group Phase with 4:0. I'm sure TLR is out on revenge. On the other hand we have Junk52 who didn't play very well at the CPC2 LAN. They changed their line-up just before the start of the Eurocup and they had succes. They fought themselves to this stage without losing one Round in this whole Eurocup. 4:0, 4:0, 1:0 and 4:0 were their scores. Now are they capable of beating the side of TLR again?

The same day we'll see a match in the Lower Brackets. Dignitas is taking on Fear Factory X-Fi. Is Dignitas recovered from their blow against TLR? Is Fear Factory X-Fi recovered from their inactivity? Although Dignitas is the favorite for this match, they shouldn't underestimate Fear Factory X-Fi. They can always strike at unexpected moments. Will it be Dignitas in the 3rd round of the Lower Brackets or is Fear Factory going to bring a surprise? We'll see...
