The seven confirmed Enemy Territory LAN attendees will be:

idle.ee
riZe Gaming
Northern Darkness
Rewind
Team NL
Vicious & Evil
Team Delta

All that’s left is to finalise travel plans, and pay the entry fee. Information regarding this will be released shortly.

Any teams wishing to requalify for the spot left by Parodia should make themselves available on Sunday evening, and should declare their interest to an xfire admin

Prize Fight is an online gaming environment providing members with the opportunity to play games for cash prizes.

Quakecon's own milez has uploaded his Quakecon gallery on esreality, featuring a hoard of ET'rs.

The Belgian multigaming clan violence is bad, known for their high performance throughout RTCW history and taking first place in the Clanbase RTCW OpenCup Premier league in Spring 2005, are proud to announce two new Enemy Territory divisions.

The first a 6on6 team, consisting mainly of ex team tank34 players will try to show its best with the following line-up:

Clown
dunno
fuzz
Officer
vinyl
zerender

I got a short statement from vinyl

Quote

Everyone in the [former] tank34 team have played together with team Latvia during past Nations Cup seasons, we're aiming to at least get a EuroCup qualifier spot in the upcomming season. Hopefully playing for such a big multigaming clan can motivate us to perform better and achieve.

They will be participating in most upcoming cups, including the #13 ET-Cup and ESL International Premiership Series.

Team defix, after loosing several players who retired from active gaming, are a worthy squad to compete as a 3on3 team under the vib tag. Their line-up:

Clouver
funky
Spectre

More information to be availiable on violence is bad website soon.

Tonight, the final two LAN attendees will be decided, destined to join both Rewind and team.nl, along with the 4 invited teams in Rotterdam. Both Rewind and team.nl fought through their second round ties earlier this week - with convincing straight map victories.

Tonight’s match of the week is an all Polish encounter that’ll surely pack all the punches. Both teams cruised through their first round matches, WoW overturning the seeded tank34 whilst Team Delta spread the death all over Malta.

In recent times Dtekt (WoW) have played second fiddle to Team Delta (Polewka), this is their chance to shine. Once again the maps will be Supplydepot2 and Radar, with Frostbite as the decider should it be required.

As the saying goes, this is too close to call. Niech wygra najlepszy lager !

In a little under seven hours the match we’ve all been waiting to see gets underway. EuroCup champions idle.ee take on Team Crossfire in the Winners Bracket Final. Both teams just one win away from the Grand Final, safe in the knowledge a victory ensures they’ll be going home with at least $10 000.

They’ve both breezed through the opening rounds, dominating American pickup clans. It wasn’t until the WB Semi Final that Quakecon threw up an interesting clash. ETTV crashes aside, this had everything you’d want from Quakecon. KiH did all they could, but Team Crossfire dug deep and pulled off a full hold in the deciding map sw_goldrush_te - defying their critics. Can they go one better and do the unthinkable?

Running simultaneously will be the penultimate round in the losers bracket. One final team is destined to go home empty handed.

wS are America’s last line of defence in preventing an all European 1, 2, 3. Can they emulate United 5’s outstanding performance last year and once again cause an upset? The stage is set for a rerun, having been knocked down into the losers bracket by favourites idle.ee - as Check6 did to United5. It’s a close run thing, but assuming KiH don’t underestimate their opponent they should come out on top.

Following closing of signups and a horde of interest in the Dallas tournament, the official business for Quakecon 2006 has begun. While most flags to be seen are American, it's the refreshing coloured EU flags that make all the difference.

Starting this afternoon, live broadcasts will be available on selected matches thanks to a new livestream constructed at the event plus a restless day of work for ETTV developers.

Throughout the event, the GamesTV Quakecon 2006 Coverage section will deliver the latest news plus match reports on most of the games.

The full sign ups and brackets for the Quakecon 2006 ET 5v5 tournament have been released.

As expected, the 3 European teams received high seedings. idle.ee will have a relatively clear route to the final, avoiding both the European teams. Whilst Team Crossfire and KiH, assuming they progress, will face one another in the Upper Bracket semi final. This allows for an all European top 3.

Notable Matches:

GamesTV.org will also 100% be providing ETTV, though due to limitations at Quakecons end won't be casting every match. There has been a huge effort by arni, zinx, bani, Lekdevil, skooli, reyalP and Angrykid to make ETTV a possibility, without them this would not have happened [no joke, today these guys put in 24 hours to make ETTV happen] and we owe a great deal of gratitude to them.
