Disclaimer: this competition has absolutely nothing to do with Crossfire, neither does it reflect my opinion or bias towards any team size. It is motivated by the pending ClanBase season and these comments.

The World Cyber Games have launched a poll to decide the games for next years competition. Gamers can vote for their 1st and 2nd choice games in five genres whilst also selecting their preferred platform it be played on; PC, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Xbox360 or the Wii.

Prevalent in the First Person Shooter category is Call Of Duty 3, going up against titles such as Quake 4 and CS. This is a huge opportunity for the CoD scene and reflects positively on the campaigning and petitioning done by the CoD community to be recognized by the large LAN events.

The WCG 2007 Grand Finals are scheduled to be hosted in Seattle next October.

After months of waiting, the hype and anticipation surrounding this release has gone astronomical. Finally, almost 1 year on, one4one Decimated has landed.

Production began back in September of 2005, when resident Swertcw movie critic Max took up the task of creating this project, labeled “Decimated” by then team manager rG. It soon became a labor of love, as he invested over 7 months of editing into this release.

It takes you on a journey through the career of one of Enemy Territory’s most skilled clans. From their early days as uQ Gaming, led by manager rG to their brief stint with Reason Gaming and their eventual resting place at one4one. During their time together they won the ClanBase SummerCup Premier and several other smaller tournaments, including beating Parodia in the first #ET-Cup final.

Without further fanboyism…

The GGL have uploaded Radio iTG's full archive of Quakecon 2006 video coverage. Over 26 pages of action packed video, including the Enemy Territory 5v5, Quake 4 1v1 and Quake 4 2v2 tournaments.

You can relive the first ever live Enemy Territory induced orgasm, when Crossfire somehow stole Radar from idle.ee in the Grand Final. Or the two three mappers between KiH and Crossfire, arguably the most equal teams in ET history. Heck, there’s even something for the sadomasochists, you can watch again idle.ee destroying DfN.

Radio iTG took shoutcasting to a new level at Quakecon 06.

Hop over to the GGL TV site, sit back and enjoy.
