Another Belgian vs Finn battle is about to unfold in this seasons Clanbase Eurocup as EDiT look to claim a place in the loser bracket final should they overcome Incomplete. The finns however will be looking to avenge the belgians victory over compatriots stfu?

EDiT 4-0 Incomplete
Time 21:00 CET
ETTV: GamesTV.org
Shoutcast: Quadv TosspoT

Update:
EDiT took it 4-0

It will be a tall order for Incomplete who were washed aside by a flying stfu? in the winners bracket tie. stfu? helped themselves to victory over their friends with a performance that hasnt boosted Incompletes stock down at 15/1 on GamesTV.org - EDiT will march in as favourites having beaten stfu? in marvelous form and this old lineup will look to get their first major silverware in ET with the winner securing at least Bronze in the Eurocup.

CPC1 finalists Speedlink and Dignitas have today refreshed their Call of Duty 4 interests with slight alterations to their already high profile lineups. With the game already meeting their satisfaction levels, its good to see that the two teams will renew their age old rivalry in the latest Call of Duty installment.

Speedlink were forced to replace long time servant N1ghtwalker and today made the speedy announcement of compatriot Soulreaper who will come in to complete a six man lineup. Perhaps not the expected choice for Speedlink however their initial outings have not been to their usual standards and so a quick recruitment was in order to steady the ship. In CoD2 it was these Germans who set the early pace, whether they can do the same in CoD4 is now in their hands.

Dignitas have removed Lopezz from their lineup though there was no animosity as leader mick describes him as "the best backup player I have ever played with and was easily good enough to play in the main lineup" - Lopezz is likely to move from backup to fulltime in a new roster.

Call of Duty today got its first competition mod offering, no its not PAM its DAM! The D is all important as its not made by the same people, although its rather similar in its basic offering whilst the community waits for PAM's offering, which is rumoured to already be in the works.

Here are some of the important new features;

- Added Somes Rules for european ladders (cb, mr10, mr12, mr15, cure, cg-lan, esl)
- Added colour on Read-up & strat-time Text
- Added cevo, xfire, and pub mode rulesets with their respective overtime rulesets as well
- Holding onto a nade IN STRAT TIME to blow yourself up will kill you but not hurt your teammates
- Updated pbsv.cfg to hopefully fix the lag issues
- Added Ready Up Mode
- Strat time no longer occurs in ready up mode
- Additional spec support
- also team autoswitch when the roundlimit is reached, no more fast_restart

You can download the mod HERE

Swedish powerhouse EYEBALLERS have made another interesting move as they today presented the old Swedish CoD2 top-team sveaRoyale as their Call of Duty 4-squad. EYEBALLERS are known to most gamers, especially for their Quake- and Counter-Strike teams. Just recently they ninja'ed an ETQW-squad (read more..) and with this move the future looks really bright for EYE.

sveaRoyale, formely known as fukyuu and Teamoxid, haven't proved anything in CoD4 yet, however - they were the #1 Swedish CoD2-team and in august they won the Wonderbase-LAN, just after being victorious in the prestigious CODQCUP. Now it's up to them to show the scene that they were able to take the step into the slightly different CoD4. Their lineup consist of players with lots of experience, such as zEm and mint, both former players of Team Dignitas and legendary WHO Crew among others.

Statement by Team Manager, [flag=se Robert "Shrek" Holmberg]

This means alot to the guys, to be backed up by a organisation that is once again growing. With a brand like Eyeballers we open doors we could not do with Svea Royale. Togheter with the other teams playing for the organisation we are looking forward to be able to grow as a team and organisation.

We also firmly belive in Cod4 as a competetive game and the growth potential of the game is huge, we hope that our move to Eyeballers can get other big organisations to open their eyes and see the potential and talent that is present in the Call of duty community. Give other teams and players a better chance to compete and develop their skills on a higher level.

We would also like to give a shoutout to a special person, you know who you are!

The work on ETQWpro has started!
.. and the team are in search for a good logo! Contact Spacecommander or sama in #ETQWpro if you can help.

Quote by First ETQWpro press release

The SDK-Beta has been released, but what is more important and anticipated for a long time now - a competition-mod, which enables a well balanced competitive play, is currently in development.

The upcoming competitive-mod will be named ETQWPro and the guy who decided to please the community with such an ordinary gift in Enemey Territory: Quake Wars is SpaceCommander

"for the community by the community" should be emphasized at this point. Right after the decision to develop ETQWPro, the webmaster of qw-scene.de x-ray decided to implement this platform where communication between players and ETQWPro-developers about the ongoing process of ETQWPro can take place.

A lot of work has to get done in the upcoming weeks. In order to accelerate the whole development, SpaceCommander needs help in form of:

-additional developers and programmers
-players giving constructive-minded feedback


This small list will be adjusted regularly. Additionally, our ETQWPro-Team needs a graphic-artist who provides an inspiring logo for ETQWPro. Every kind of content will be taken into consideration. So get your graphic-programs started folks and be a part of this huge thing.

Info was leaked on IRC yesterday that Splash Damage just performed their first (working) test of ETQW-tv. More news on both ETQWpro and ETQW-tv will be in next "Takens take"!

Team-Unique is proud to announced their very new CrossfireDevotiiChallange 4 team.Former aces are looking back to get their best and perform as good as they were in the past for ET players and admins.And hopefully the team will take a big step to the higher ET scene level.Unique.et basically consists of people who just can't seem to be able to walk away from the game completely and are ready again to give their best for the game.

Quote by GamesTV.org from ovrboost

Thanks. I enjoyed playing this match. Even though we didn't have too much practice to start with, you deserved to win.

Oh and to the people screaming I'm leaving over a loss (on ETTV and IRC/other), please stop, I'm not. :P

The goal is no lower than what it was for the past tyrants of pstarZ.et, kojak.et, TLR and the late eXplosionC4, meaning nothing less than to sovereignly conquer europe.We currently focus on our main goal CDC4, to get direct invite and ofcourse we look forward for GGT2008 maybe.Currently we play in ClanBase FiF-Cup and just signed up for ET-Cup "Goodbye".Maybe the next's year 2008 spring EuroCup but that is in far future.

Two teams that have provided some excellent entertainment in this seasons Eurocup go head to head again in tonights Eurocup thriller! Its do or die for EDiT (cZar) and stfu?

EDIT vs stfu?
Time: 21:00 CET
ETTV: GamesTV.org
Shoutcast: QuadV TosspoT

cZar were on the wrong end of an efficient German performance to put them into the Losers Bracket however demonstrated their own Vorsprung durch Technik to get past MoD to earn their place in this tie. Their game against megaPro was riveting and the side were perhaps unlucky to come away without a share of the spoils but they'll be looking for vengeance against the Finns. However feeling hard done by isnt confined to Belgium as stfu? and their Finnish fans will be feeling the same after their 4-0 defeat to Impact, a result that says nothing about their gritty performance against their allstar opponents. Tonight is the chance for one of these two teams to hope for a second bite at their winner bracket cherries should they get to the LB Final. In this writers opinion, tonights match is too close to call!

Last time these two teams met stfu (playing as j52) came out on top with a 4-0 victory, though to those who watched it the Belgians certainly caused their opponents some problems and this will prove a stark reminder to the finns.

One of the best CS teams in Germany, TEAM ZYKON which houses renowned players like Roman R and madferret, announced last night that they will be represented in Call of Duty 4. The core of the new CoD4 team is maYer and croX, who has been playing together since Call of Duty 1. The lineup of the new ZYKON CoD4 teams is:

Jens "JAYGEE aka souX" Grothe - team manager

Stephan "eqkl1pse" Rohrmeier
Max "m4x" Pape
David "kalle" Rüger
Jan "croX" Pretzel
Eugen "maYer" Mayer
Tomas "eLo" Post

A part of the statement from ZYKON GAMEWARE:

Quote

Team ZYKON welcomes a new team into its nest. Our new acquisition, formed around Team-Captain Eugen Mayer, will support us in the Call of Duty 4 territory. Already during Call of Duty 1 times they fought against teams, such as OCRANA (currently known as Team SPEED-LINK), for the supreme reign. Although a late appearance in Call of Duty 2, they managed to make a name for themselves by attending several events (EuroCup for example) and placing in front of SPEED-LINK as the 2nd team to qualify for the IPS.
Because our new team is hungry to finally achieve their big break-through we, at ZYKON GAMEWARE, will do our utmost best to support our guys in the newest release of ACTIVISION and to allow them as many successes as possible.

The CoD4 team won the final of the ESL hosted Call of duty 4 Opening Cup last night over legendary 21-14 on mp_strike and mp_crossfire. On the way to the final they beat FiNEST5, featuring the King of Panzerfaust aka humM3L.
