3:24 The last match for day two is coming up in a moment with Vicious and Evil facing Random in the very last ET match this night. VAE went well in the tournament and just lost against TLR in Upper Bracket before. It's the deciding match for both about keeping in or getting on it's way right now, so don't miss this late and deciding main event.

23:27 Because some people did not have been able to scoll down a few lines the Gallery and Streaming pages are actually on the front page.

22:45 ET has been going strong along side CoD4, with the big guns finally starting to show their true quality. np breezed past 8 Bit-gaming and equally, EDiT made quick work of our multi-talented mix Random. Both losing teams move down into the loser bracket, so it's not over yet! As we progress through the early hours of the morning, our last 8 games should be over, leaving some mouth watering prospects on our hands.





For all those ET: Quake Wars fans
ETQW was up and running since the start till now and probably was hard to find on other pages, so here you go for the IPs and the most recent mod version just created for the CDC:
ETQW Stream 1: 85.12.10.21:27777
ETQW Stream 2: 85.12.10.21:27787

0:31 SK vs Fnatic game
City streets (District)
The first half consisted of SK trying to use their usual rush style with somewhat little affect in the early stages. They did pick up a couple of rounds but with stunning individual performances from players such as Klanne, Fnatic pulled away with a 7-3 going into the second half. Going into the second half, zsilts has really stepped up another gear with a flurry of multiple frag kills. There was a hint of a come back by SK but it was soon rumbled with the great individual performances by Fnatic.

With the score moving on to 10-7 for Fnatic, Fnatic only needed one map from three to clinch this match and they did so. It was a strange map for such an epic encounter but it gave a great insight into how the play style of both teams could prohibit/benefit them in the later stages of this tournament.

Final score : Fnatic 11 - 7 SK gaming

Good news: There's light at the end of the license tunnel! We've at last received the proper license files for both the Competition Mod and the 1.5 game update. With that in mind, we're now prepping them for release and hope to get them out as soon as possible (for real!).

That's right ladies and gentleman here on crossfire, the CDC is coming up within not even 24 hours. The first matches will come up from tomorrow morning. With 30 packard bell powered pc's just arravied 1 hour ago most of the crew on side are busy setting them up with a proper installation to run the biggest and hopefully best CDC LAN event ever. Teams such as Fear Factory.X-Fi and The Last Resort are bootcamping since 15.00 CET today and prepare themself in Call of Duty and ET:Quake Wars. There should also be n1ce.it coming up soon praccing for ET.

You can already find a few pictures in our very new and improved gallery system every user registered on crossfire can upload to. Check out the gallery.

A few things will change on crossfire tomorrow. Here are a few details on what will change and what you can find where actually:

Over the course of the coming weekend in the shadow of CDC4 will be the 19th central LAN UK (cluk19). Despite the goings on of CDC4, CLUK19 will be held at Uttoxeter Racecourse, Staffordshire. The event takes place from 29th Feb - 2nd March starting at 4pm on Friday running through until 6pm Sunday and costs just £45. It will be hosting the following tournaments

Counter-Srike: Source 5v5 with a max limit of 8 teams and a £500 prize fund.
Call of Duty4 5v5 SnD with a max limit of 8 teams and a £500 prize fund
World In Conflict 4v4 with a max limit of 5 teams and a £500 prize fund
An Expert and Medium Guitar Hero 3 fun tournament, a newly announced Audio Surf fun tournament and an eagerly anticipated Boat Race.

This LAN is certainly small but in the past 6 years it has gone from strength to strength. I realise it is no I-series or CDC4 but this LAN will be a good pre-training camp for team E-buyer who are signed up for the CSS tournament and the recently announced Team Packard Bell Cod4 team who are signed up for the Cod4 tournament.

With the wake of CDC4 I don’t expect much attention to the LAN however it is meant to be a social LAN with a competitive edge to it, and I feel it has and will achieve what it has set out to do.

Good luck to the event organiser and all teams and participants in CLUK19, and good luck to all attending CDC4.

With 114 paid participants and 8 spectators, CLUK19 will be a nice weekend LAN and good practice for upcoming LAN's such as I33 which teams participating in the tournaments will be aiming for.
