The UK based PC Gamer magazine if hosting another annual event for the Top 100 PC Games of all time. Last year, Enemy Territory reached #69 in the charts with minimal advertisement from Splash Damage. ET:QW failed to reach the Top 100. With the help of the Crossfire community, ET will surely climb higher in the ladder this time round. This is a rare opportunity to get ET recognized once again, competing against a few legendary PC titles, such as Mafia, Cysis, Counter-Strike and the CoD series.

10/03/2010 - Just over a week after the announcement of the 4th season of the Benelux ESL Pro Series, in cooperation with both Intel and Dell, two out of the total of four ESL Pro Series games have been announced by ESL Benelux up till now. Call of Duty will be featured for the first time in this season alongside with the veteran game Counter-strike 1.6, which has been part of the Benelux ESL Pro Series since the first season and two, yet to be announced, games.

This big announcement means that the Call of Duty 4 scene step has reached the next level in the Benelux section of the Electronic Sports League. After the announcement of the ESL Amateur Series merely weeks ago, the best teams the Benelux has to offer will battle each other in the ESL Pro Series for cash prizes. These teams will all battle each other in a premiership and, in the end, the top 4 teams will compete in the finals for a cash prize.

We would like to announce our new ET team today. Now that the lan is over, we are ready to prepare for the upcoming Eurocup and possibly other tournies such as ESL EMS and cc8 (:_D).

Lineup:

Quote by Kamz

Think we got a really nice team here. razz and sqzz won eurocup when ET was in its prime. NuggaN was apart of EC Winners who were runners up last year and has an amazing shot and Ati_ has many videos on own3d.tv, to which the whole community faps over. Hopefully we get a direct invite, if not a qualifier would be cool and we'll play some games and see how it goes :P

Ati had the following to say..

Good morning sunshine
We're spearheading towards the final showdowns here in Enschede, The Netherlands, with some amazing matches to be brought to you later today! First major matches are starting at 10:30, including the lower bracket final between Team Dignitas and Team YoYoTech.

Will Dignitas make the odds even?
With Team Dignitas being the fresh victors in their match versus Team YoYoTech we're looking into a lower bracket final with Dignitas to face to Make odds even once again. Last time the Polish team was able to beat Dignitas four to nil in the upper bracket.

CIC7 grand finals
With Team Dignitas just beating to Make odds even they will be joining Team Rockit in the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory grand final. As Dignitas are coming from the lower bracket, they will need to beat Rockit twice in order to win the tournament.

(Potentially first) CIC7 grand final going into decider
Team Rockit and Team Dignitas are shaking things up here at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 Grand finals in Enschede, The Netherlands, taking the match into a decider after a breathtaking performance by Dignitas on supply. The decider will be Frostbite.

We're gonna have a grand, grand final
Just like at the last Crossfire Challenge, the team behind Night is putting up a great show. After losing Braundorf from Rockit Dignitas took massive steps by fullholding Rockit on supply, and then setting a very good three minute time on Frostbite. Meez makes a last attempt to run the docs to the transmitter but gets shot by some amazing sniping by Matias. Now, Dignitas and Rockit are finally at equal grounds again.

Dignitas are the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7 Enemy Territory Champions!
After three days of intense gaming we finally have a winner for the Enemy Territory tournament here at the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7. Team Dignitas have played an impressive tournament and has closed it off with an even more impressive double grand final against Team Rockit.

Past midnight: Battle of the losers
While most teams still playing in the ET winners bracket have (hopefully) found their way to a suitable bed there are still some interesting matches to follow for the late night ET addict. With both teams perhaps underperforming during their group matches, Overload versus S'Agapa should be one of them. Tomorrow we will return with coverage from the Enemy Territory and Call of Duty grand finals.

The Fail.INC incoming?
The German team Highbot didn't do well in the past weeks - line up changes, flame, hate and a disappointing performance in the seeding tournament. Their glory days have past [have they ever been there?] Anyway, their first match is coming up next against Team Rockit who just lost one map to energy-wave, the team that can send eprox to the looser's tournament [where they belong?]. Wtih Hummel being addicted to CoD4, Scatman to as many clans as possible or at least he tried to and criatura more addicted to girls than the game. Now the team can show us what they are made of. Tune into ETTV to find out their success or their failure in their 2 deciding group games, right now starting with Team rockit.

Ready, Steady - Wait!
Players are slowly dripping in, with the first matches set to start at 9 o' clock. The admin team worked all night to set up over a hundred PC's, let's see how they cope with the first big stress test!

First matches live
The first matches are underway for both W:ET and CoD4. Right now QuadV is setting up as well so we hope to bring you some live footage soon.

First results
First upset - Perception got infused - the polish side gets beaten two to nill by the promising mix of British and Dutch players. Perception might have themselves to blame however, as one of their players did not arrive on time, meaning they forfeited the first map and had to play the second map (frostbite) with a merc. QuadV is still setting up. Meanwhile we're starting to use our Twitter account for CIC7 coverage, so follow Crossfire_nu on Twitter.

On a streak
With about an hour delay this morning there is a massive amount of matches played at the moment. One of them is Jungle Brothers - as CC5 winners and a late addition to the event they might be the only team left with the potential to surprise Team Rockit and Blight Gaming with their performance.
Other than that, twitter is our admin log replacement, so make sure you follow us!

Say Cheeeeeese
Yawohl! Baggiez did it! - The first pictures from Thursday have been added to the Crossfire Gallery. Shots including the incredible twidi and the much more incredible admin room! Anyway, take a look on this.

Soon to come
QuadV is still preparing their stuff to get things done within any minute. As announced on their website this delayed was expected and their announced start time might bring some further 'tosspot minutes' into the game. Prepare your QuadV account to tune in!

Jungle Brothers vs. Perception
With a disappointing start on LAN and without wssquad perception struggles to fight their way out of the consolidation tournament. Up any minute it is the final match in group D with the last and quite small chance to get a spot in the play offs for the polish team. Only if they beat JB with a straight 4-0 there might be able to still make it otherwise JB will be on top of the group. Let's see who is able to prove his online condition. ETTV.

No idle.ee, no mamut.si, no blight gaming
If you know ET you heard about every of these clans above for more than once. According to an onsite source the blight gaming team moved to dignitas to compete at the LAN. While this is not completely confirmed yet it is save to say that Dignitas was involved to back the team to attend this event and that makes it no big surprise if they would change their quaters now.
It's Sup3r they are about to face now - The player who attended with phantoms at the previous edition surprising everyone with an incredible performance. Now setting up their first match it won't be more than a minute to see whether it is dignitas or not - and who will win, ofcourse. ETTV.
PS: QuadV is still setting up and will start casting CoD as soon as possible!

Updated: It's still blight gaming, though they are representing dignitas as well according to the official statement from Sui on the Dignitas homepage: "Also the Enemy Territory team Blight will represent us at this event. The team is led by our good friend Estonia Hendrik 'RELOAd' Kinks. Wish them all the best!"

myRevenge / FiF capitalize on top position in second seed group
The team rated second in group B took home victory over the team rated first with myRevenge FiF taking down nOu way in a straight two mapper.Meanwhile JB versus Perception is well underway and we're slowly compensating for the delays of this morning.

Some group stages reach their end, others soon to start
We've been like for almost twelve hours now, but the day is long from finished, unless you were playing in group B or D (minus nOu way, who will be playing the ESL Major Series final against DH tonight). Group A and C still have some matches left, group E went live an hour ago and group F is going live about now.There are still some exciting matches to be played tonight tonight, so grab some popcorn and stick with us.

Teams presenting themselves. Just for Baggiez !
Like every team has arrived in Enschede by now. Some teams already finished their groupstage, but we got also some teams which will start just in the evening. If you always wanted to see feruS and Night posing on a photo together, check our very own CIC7 Gallery. We've divided the CoD4 teams and ET teams into 2 folders. Baggiez is busy updating the photobase, so have a look and see if you can find some familiar faces.

EMS Lanfinal!
At the same time the LAN finals for the EMS tournament will be played. Read further details here and watch out for ETTV and TosspoT on QuadV's audio steam .

Update: EMS Final about to start. According to krosan its in 5 minutes max.
Tune in @ QuadV or check gamestv.org for ETTV!

Group A - E are finished. Rockit is next!
Jungle Brothers and Blight Gaming took their chances already and didn't disappoint their fans on ETTV. Next up it will be Team Rockit in their first match against energy-Wave. energy-Wave with some taleted new faces will try their damnest to prove their online performance with the best they can. ETTV

Update: Match going into decider as e-Wave won frostbite. Will rockit fail versus e-Wave on LAN ? Don't miss it !

The situation of Group A - E are summarized in this column. Check out what you missed today!
