With less than 48 hours until the next installment of the Challenge series, Crossfire is proud to announce our latest partner, Packard Bell. A global leader in computing and a household name aligns with Crossfire and will be supporting us with their top of the range iPOWER notebooks during the event.

A company who understand the special needs of a gamer, Packard Bell have recently released their iPOWER range and along with it their own video gaming tournament, who's 2007 event concluded in Lisbon in July. For Crossfire we're honoured to be partnering with such a company who have come to our aid in providing us their notebooks for coverage this weekend.

The Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 Part 1 kicks off at 12 noon on September 21st in Enschede, Holland. With over 7000 Euros in cash prizes up for grabs and an expectant audience the weekend promises to be action packed from start to finish and now Packard Bell will be there too!

Over 2 months of matches, starting on Sewer and then advancing across Valley, the Premier Division of the i3D.net Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Beta Cup has drawn to a close. The biggest beta competition, with 40 teams in the Premier Division, and another 40 teams in the Second Division, there was some stiff competition throughout. In an interesting occurance, out of the big 5 teams, it seemed to be the underdogs who came out on top after what many thought should have been the final occuring in the quarters, where Copenhagen eSport were defeated by Team Dignitas, leaving them to advance to the semi-finals alongside OCRANA, Greek Operation Forces and Team Delta. However all those that claimed that the quarter finals saw the true final were proved wrong, as OCRANA dispatched Dignitas in the decider via objectivecount in order to set up a final encounter with Greek Operation Forces, who took 3 halves to set a time of 17.51 which Delta couldn't match.
Dignitas had no trouble in annihilating Delta 4-0 to take home 3rd place, but whether they will be satisfied with that is another matter.

As the days to CDC are rapidly, but gladly declining, there are a few final important notices that players need to be aware off.

There have been some problems with people booking a place to sleep and there have been questions on what is and is NOT allowed to install. Here are your answers or how to get help. If you have any other questions, please PM me or comment in this post.

The Crossfire Crew can't wait to see you sexy bunch of ET and wSw people in Enschede! Until then!

The first round of the ET: Quake Wars Demo Cup has been played and today it's already time for the second one. Round two kicks off this Tuesday and features again a live match for you. game-tv.com will broadcast the match between OCRANA and progressive e-Sports, which will be available from 21:00 on.

Although both teams could win their first match, the conditions could not be more different. As the winner of the German ET: QW Beta Cup the German giant OCRANA is again one of the main favorites for this cup and it seems as the underdog progressive e-Sports has only one chance today: to fight as long as possible.

One week after the announcement of the new Fall Cup Season, ClanBase presented today the games and tournaments for EuroCup XVI. The list contains 12 different games and a total of 15 tournaments, following Crossfire games will be part of the next EuroCup Season:

Enemy Teritory (6on6)
Call of Duty 2 (Search & Destroy + Capture the Flag)
Warsow (1v1 Duel)

Signups are already open for more than a week and will run till the 23rd of September. Select your game and cup here.

As you can read in the official CB news, an EuroCup for ET: Quake Wars is also missing as the tournaments for Counter-Strike, Warcraft III or FIFA.

ClanBase News

With the end of the Crossfire Demo Cup some hours ago, it's time for the next ET: Quake Wars Demo Cup. As announced previously, the first round of the ESL Demo Cup starts this Monday at 21:00 and features 32 teams. Big names like OCRANA , Junk52 or Copenhagen eSport have also signed up as several new founded teams. The time will tell if the well-known teams can dominate the upcoming weeks as expected or if a completly new face can suprise us in the tournament.

International Poker organisation, MCPoker.de have joined Crossfire today to spice up the Crossfire Devotii Challenge 3 with a whopping 500 Euro prize purse for the onsite poker tournament! MCPoker will become Crossfires official poker partner and look to boost pokers influence within gaming as a whole.

Quote by Christian Scheuerer

We are very pleased to work with the Crossfire community as it has shown a strong development since its foundation and is moreover very active. McPoker went online 2 weeks ago with its new software and takes care of the needs and wishes of gamers. With a lot of new features and special created tournaments made for the Crossfire community McPoker is strongly trying to connect gaming with poker

Says Christian Scheuerer Vice Director team9 Ltd.

Quote by Stuart Saw

For me it is a great honour to partner with a massive organisation who have gaming at its very heart. We're now joined not only with a company who will support us, but a company who used to play RTCW! (Christian used to play in team.de and majesty) What more could I want for Crossfire? Its another great step forward for the Challenge series

Says Stuart "TosspoT" Saw, owner of Crossfire.nu
