After many many qualification rounds and much really close matches we will announce today all information and teams for the Call of Duty 4 ESL Major Series Season III. This season will be a bit shorter then all the other the reason for this you'll find in the text bellow.
Because of Call of Duty 5 we decide to make the EMS III for the Call of Duty 4 section a bit shorter. This means we will play a double elimination cup in place of the normal groupstage. These double elemination cup counts also as the playoffs, so its absolutely necessary for all teams to play from start off with 100 percent. Back to the series we will show you in the following table all teams which qualified for the playoffs.

ButtonBashers a new up and coming Multigaming organisation have picked up the former TLR ET team. The side that took first place at CPC2 & CDC3 are to join the dutch based organisation this evening now that the ink has settled on their move, this just hours after leaving TLR.

The sides talisman Winghaven gave the following statement:

Quote by Winghaven

We're really happy to join buttonbashers, we got an offer we couldn't refuse, we haven't been so lucky finding a good sponsor who can cover all of our costs, but finally it seems that our luck has totally changed. Anyway, we'll do our best in Eurocup and of course we'll prepare to cc5 to take the victory home, Also I want to thank buttonbasher to trust us, and Thanks to TosspoT for recommending us to bb

This weekend the ButtonBashers Call of Duty team attended and won the Maxlan in France and are one of Europe's top teams, this latest edition gives ButtonBashers a high probability of a double podium finish at CC5.

The TLR ET team have parted company with their Multigaming organisation parents with whom they won CPC2 & CDC3. The side are moving on with heavy hearts after a very fruitful time with the company as their ET team, the side rose to become the top ranking ET team whilst playing for TLR.

However most likely by the end of the week the side will be joining a new organisation who will be supporting their CC5 aspirations. One of the motivations for the move was the securing of the long term future of the team, which for ET and potentially RTCW2 fans can only be regarded as a good thing.

More news to follow later this week.

Forget Finland, erase Estonia, swipe aside Sweden - tonight, Poland are Enemy Territory's top dogs. Monday night sees the return of EuroCup as these two great entities compete to become the first Polish team to reach a EuroCup Winners Bracket Final.

We would've lost if we hadn't won. (Ed: quite)

No [we won't win vs FF], we'll get raged. We haven't pracced properly in weeks; no one is unbeatable and that's nice, but FF is out of reach for us in our current shape.

After our very successful summer and fall cup series we are happy to announce a bigger tournament again. We noticed a rising activity and interest in our competitions and we will bring the ESL ET Winter League '08 to you.
This will include a 1on1, 3on3 and 6on6 tournament. The 3on3 and 6on6 format will have a free amount of slots that will be divided into three divisions (with groupstage and playoffs). We will split the divisions by skill and results achieved in the latest ESL Cups!

Paul 'ReDeYe' Chaloner of both QuadV and the CGS has today published his article on the upcoming US Election titled, The Gamers' Election, inspired by Nellie's most recent Poll

Quote

Is Crossfire a polarizing community that represents the true views of most gamers when it comes to the general election? I think probably not, but I was interested to investigate further and find out which candidate would be best for gamers. Which candidate supports professional gaming and casual gaming? Which candidate would like to banish games from our lives and regulate more?

Announcing FPS Radio

What started out as a lonely 32 slot ETL only weekly shoutcast (ETL Radio) has outgrown the confides of a single league broadcast & needs to run as it's own entity in order to achieve it's full potential.


ETL Radio is now FPS Radio & is currently running a 100 slot shoutcast with the potential to run up to 500 slots, all sponsored by Primary Target. This is all due to the hard work & dedication of ETL's own Rocky & the suprising talent of our new shoutcaster, ETL's own Mistaken. Great work guys.
