Team FatGames is proud to announce the launch of its new website.
"Our intention was to develop a platform which would put focus on the team in all its aspects but at the same time function as a community website, with focus on the scenes we are active in. We will therefore keep implementing Web 2.0 functionality to ensure the possibility of community interaction. We're looking forward to the upcoming Lans and tournaments, as well as cooperation with organizations such as differo and fps radio."


Please bear in mind that things might not work perfectly in the beginning, if you experience any problems with this website, please send a report!

Tonight marks the end of an era of co-operation for us. As an organization, Overload strifes to reach better achievements and heights through good and fair play. Alas, after tonight, we had to come to the conclusion that one of our teams failed to fill in these principles of our organization and thus have been removed as part of Overload Gaming.

The team we're talking about is the Overload ET team, also known as the Belgian Dreamteam. After several rumours were spreading out across Crossfire about the team using a private bot in their games and them being featured in a newly constructed Cheaterbust List the team confessed the accusations thrown towards them. By doing this they are banned from the upcoming cc5 LAN in Enschede, NL and also banned from any further Clanbase ET competition. The team was:

Overload as an organization also doesn't approve this kind of behaviour and never will, therefore the team will be removed from the MGC. In a short statements the managers had the following to say:

Quote by Sainted

What started as a very happy relation ended in tears and disbelieve. Sadly we put a lot of trust in this team, which they have wasted, taking down part of Overload with them.
We are terribly disappointed in our former W:ET team, and hope to be able to regain the trust of the W:ET community in the future.

Overload's ET team have tonight confessed to the allegations of cheating posed at them. The rumour mill had them faced with being busted via the next upcoming 'bust list' from Killerboy, and when confronted by Crossfire with that evidence they came clean.

In a statement they said they wanted to make a point to the community that anyone can cheat and that it is the lowest thing to do. The players implicated (though confessions have at the moment only come from vila & zeto) are - acid, vila, zeto, jetro lio & kevin.

All players implicated will be banned from CC5 and site bans according to the CF rules.

Some updated points for you on all things CC5. We've got a semi-completed payment list, some prizemoney changes and a reminder on the seeding tournament plus some later opening hours.

Secondly as a result of the payment list I'm moving 500 Euro across to ET, leaving the prizepurse at CoD 7000, ET 5500. Whilst I know that ET players would want more, unfortunately due to the nature of the sponsorship that's allowed us to increase prizemoney there's very little room for manoeuvrings.

Prize Distribution
CoD -

1st - 3500
2nd - 2250
3rd - 1250


ET -

1st - 2500
2nd - 1750
3rd - 1250

Lastly, I was in Enschede on Tuesday and it was frigging FREEZING, so I asked wzzrd to stay open later so that people could keep warm when playing poker etc and they agreed to stay open as late as 3AM during the event so when you're playing poker you don't have to do it in the cold! Speaking of Poker, we would still like to run another poker tourney but our last poker admin has since left so if anyone would like to volunteer their pokering skills that would be appreciated greatly and rewarded in beer.

If you are competing at CC5 and haven't read THIS then you might want to!

As already announced earlier there occured a bug within the new European and Clanbase configsets. We added a supply mapscript to avoid the satchel-exploit at crane controls. Due to this we had an invisible box blocking the players. We decided to change to another script without this fix. But be aware it is forbidden to abuse this exploit in any match!
With this post we provide you the fixed version of our configs.

You can download them from the following links:
