One soldier face Verdiend in the RTCW final, after the shock defeat of KiH the competition has been thrown wide open and could go either way...


Update: one.soldier are crowned RTCW Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge Champions

Impact gaming face Dignitas in the second winners bracket semi final, which should be an interesting match with neither team been living up to their potential but leaves us with some questions such as, is a mix of big name players enough to topple the dominating force in ET for the last year? Will Dignitas regain their form in the important stages of the tournament?

Both teams should have a lot more to give based on previous experience ...or is it time for a new star in the Enemy Territory universe?



The second, running simultaneously sees pre-tournament joint favourites TLR take on k1ck. Both matches are currently live.

Match #1

Map: TBA

After dignitas struggled in their first match against logitech yesterday, they need a two wins now to continue to the playoffs, otherwise this group will be the closest. Adocom, known as the former dSlash team has to prove the worth of their recived LAN support by attending the CPC instead of the Summit in Germany. With the draw against Logitech their door is still wide open to get a spot into the playoffs but did this mean they are strong enough to face dignitas?


Match #2

Map: TBA

A first deciding match for eSuba. After beating the SHGopen Champs serious gaming yesterday on the new map valente, they don't have a save way into the playoffs even if they deserved it. This match can be their first step on the top of the group and to make a save jump in the first round of the upcoming single elimination bracket. eSuba is worth playing it and has a lot of potential as they showed on diffrent events and EuroCups already. EDiT is a new face finished top 3 at the NetGamez. They have nearly lost all their chances to reach the playoffs loosing against oxid and serious yesterday, rank 3 or 4 for them?

Where are the ET Matches?
The schedule for ET matches are delayed due to the RTCW tourney at the moment. The delay is about 2 hours now. For recent schedules check the GamesTV.org Times within your timezone.

Match #3

Map: TBA

eSuba needs the win to make their way into the playoffs save. After the czech team won against Dignitas on vallente yesterday, these two teams will decide who will progress. While EDiT is without chances but still playing as well, currently against eSuba ofcourse, it's all on the swedes from oxid. After a loss against serious but aswell a clear win against EDiT, it can be close - may the allmighty CoD2 god tell us what will happen - (hopefully) together with the livestreams powered by iTG and QuadV.

Maps: Bremen, Frostbite
Shoutcast: AVI - tune in Radio iTG / QuadV

A deciding game - atleast for zeroPoint who are not playing in here but who will hope to see zerobarrier win against one.soldier to get the last small chance to join the playoffs. The realy great gameplay in their last matches made zerobarrier one of the top in this tourney for now while one.soldier as second favorite next to zP! needs the win or a draw to save their second place. Who's going to pass in the playoffs in group c?

Maps: Supply, Radar, Frostbite (Decider)
ETTV: GamesTV

While both teams have already qualified for the playoffs, they will fight each other for the top spot. Impact played a tight game against Auxilia coming out as winner and are now preparing to face off with polar - the 3rd of the PGS. Who will continue his winning spree? Make sure you tune in.

How well is spectating, for TV/broadcasting coverage supported in ETQW? Does ETQW have something similar to Half-Life TV, that can allow a massive amount of spectators? Is there any support for match-recordings, so teams can analyze their performances in tournaments, and others can replay them?
We’ve been working with Christopher Lays ('zinx') on integrating the TV code. This features an unlimited number of broadcast relays and broadcast to a lot of spectating clients (providing there are enough relays to support the load).
The demo-recording functionality in ETQW is pretty advanced, allowing both client-side and server side recording, so that a match can be replayed from any perspective. This feature may be unsupported at release (depending on other gameplay priorities), but it’s our goal that it’ll be superior in functionality to that of competing games once complete.

Hello and welcome from the home of Call of Duty, Enemy Territory and RTCW in Enschede for this weekend. With the first match running at the moment the CPC is well underway and with it the Friday 13th. Today teams will play their group matches in ET aswell as in COD and we are proud to be bringing you the important coverages together with

Match #1

ETTV: GamesTV.org
Maps: Bremen_b1 / Frostbite
Group C, Match 1

In the first match right now the underdogs formerly known as vib playing under the flag of el vigorz now are fighting zeroPoint. Due to passport issues with Fette yesterday, zP had to draft in the last minute replacement of shy. He'll be deputising for the weekend. Both team will try to prove they're lan worthy, lets see who will come out on top.

Update: zeroPoint full hold bremen with relative ease. vigorz are on the attack.


Match #2
While the ETTV issues gets solved the matches scheduled for 11.00 CET will be delayed!
Update: Dignitas nearly live - where to? We will see. Atleast 1 Player left on the server.

ETTV: Not Avi
Maps: Radar, SW Goldrush TE
Group A, Match 1

Unexpected - Thats how we call it when Dignitas is on the way owning on LANs. But as the PGA qualifier showed in 5on5, Dignitas is not as strong as they could be without one of their major players Night. In their first group match dignitas has to prove themself facing k1ck, the former pingwins, to prove their ability with the replacement sol. k1ck on the other hand will be able to show their No-Lag-Skills and are able to get kicked off without connection issues this time.

Match #3
The CoD2 Groupstage kicks off at 13.00 CET with the first matches in the hottest group - A. For a pre sum up read Crow's latest article and find your own favorite.

Map: TBA
Livestream: In progress! Not avi yet

If the dutch sided serious gaming is up to the business as SHG Open winner with their new player kasparov is something this match will show. The czech underdog of eSuba will try their best to stay a chance and proving their LAN worthy again. While serious goes in the first CoD2 match as favorite, this will show some hot actions for sure.

Match #4

Map: TBA
ETTV: GamesTV

The ET Tourney will come up with it's first important clash with the international mixed team one.soldier including names as overboost and the stars including butchji, gifty and potter for zeroPoint. It's the first time one.soldier is in hot action and we will see some hot shots for sure from both of these teams, but is a winner already decided or not? Hopefully both teams will make a hot clash on ETTV.

The CoD2 Matches
With currently 2 matches up and running the CoD2 groupstage is delayed by 1 hour.
Update: Dear Unexpected CoD2 LANs, I've a new line for your book right after eSuba faced serious gaming and took the win home with a 13:08.

Match #5

Maps: SW Goldrush TE, Bremen
ETTV: GamesTv.org

Mystic - The one and only - playing with Impact in their first match. We urge you to get an ETTV spot as fast as you can! The mystics fanboys are plenty. Blink and you'll miss it.
Just seconds left before you can see the turkey and russian power of Auxilia facing one of the last surviving true dream teams. Is impact strong enough to compete on the CPC against the fairly known internetstars and posers from Auxilia?! The odds are clearly set and every mystic fan will just increase the gap in possible money earned between these teams. Still we don't have a winner yet and the match will come up within just 50 minutes.

Match #6

Map: Matmata
Livestream: http://www.crossfire.nu

While serious gaming as top seed struggled a little bit in their first match dignitas has to prove their favorite position with winning against the ambitious fins of Logitech.fi. The match itself should be very close and including the hottest CoD2 action with two top teams.

Match #7
Live with a voice stream right off from the LAN TosspoT and Redeye will cast this - somehow - so called thriller between the deep underdog octane and dignitas. The match will be casted on ETTV ofcourse and you can tune in right on GamesTV.

London, April 11 – Crossfire.nu the leading Wolfenstein and Call of Duty community has today announced a new partnership with QPAD. QPAD join the Crossfire community ahead of the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge 2 where 6000 euros will be won by the biggest congregation of the communities elite to date!

Devoted to community driven events Crossfire welcomes QPAD’s as a partner with a common goal. Through both online and offline events Crossfire and QPAD will work together to drive the games in the Crossfire community forward.

“I am both honoured and excited.” Said Stuart Saw Owner of Crossfire.nu. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with the people at QPAD before and to now be working side by side with them on a daily basis is a big step for us. They offer us both experience and expertise that will help us in our goal to champion our games to the maximum”

QPAD will be supporting the Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge 2 this weekend aswell working together for the coming two years to help build our community further. Additionally, QPAD will be joining forces with GamesTV.org to add even more hype to the craze that is Gbooky!

“It's a special pride for us to announce that we join forces together with such a well respected and famous community of gamers worldwide, such as Crossfire and GamesTV. It's one more significant move from the Q|Massive in order to support and grow the gaming phenomenon, close to our roots than ever, at the historical core of gaming.” Said Jean-pierre 'TaZzMAjazZ' Ceccaldi QPAD|CM

About www.Crossfire.nu

Launched in 2003 Crossfire has been the home of competitive Wolfenstein and Call of Duty. In 2006 Crossfire launched its first live off-line event to great applaud and driven by its 11,000 members continues its pledge to champion the smaller games through exposure, events and original media.

About www.QPAD.se

QPAD built its success on a grassroots commitment to the gaming community. Like you, we thrive in the madness of competition and embrace the free spirit of gaming. Our sponsorship of the Q Tour, communities, cups, tournaments, teams and LAN parties reflects this commitment. The knowledge we’ve gained has fed into our development of high quality products that have a great performance and given many a winning edge.

To all participating teams a few very important reminders:

Following's Bullvox and Ronner's (serious and funny) checklist, here is a quick reminder of what you should bring beside the obvious:

If you are bringing our own laptop:
1. Make it identifiable that it is yours on the outside. (a sticker for example)
2. Put a password on it.
3. If you have a laptoplock, bring it just to be safe.
4. If you need internet access, either ask evo POLITELY if you can join his wireless access point or bring a UDP cable of at least 10 meters.
Passport (It is mandatory in the Netherlands to have it with you at all times)
Travel and health insurance cards
Good humor ofc.

Up until this time, we have received the phone numbers from only three teams (Auxilia, Verdiend, Dignitas). Please notify whoever is in charge to send us their contact information ASAP. Mail them to tosspot at gmail dot com and cash at clanbase dot com please.

For those that are bringing their own systems, such as laptops for coverage purposes. Please also bring an UDP cable (regular LAN cable) with you that is at least 10 meters and preferably close to 15 meters. We will be very short on wiring, so that is something that we cannot provide you with.

Last, but probably most important. Please uninstall en reinstall your gaming hardware a few times to find out the proper working order, so you know how to install your stuff swiftly. It will reduce the stress for you to be ready in time and it gives you some decent warmup minutes.

We are also still looking for someone who would be able to transport 3 monitors (2 crt and 1 tft) and a shuttle pc from Amsterdam on thursday or in worst case scenario friday morning. We will compensate for gas and perhaps the invested time.

See you all in Enschede!

With all eyes moving from i30 to CPC we must not forget about the Intel Core 2 Extreme Challenge. The groups for this competition have now been released and we see the likes of Dignitas, Reason and uMu taking on a number of UK challengers looking to cause an upset or two.

Group Listings: here

Games start on Thursday 12th April with coverage provided by RadioITG so stay tuned for full fixtures and broadcast details.

You can also read the Intel C2E pro panel's views on the groups, including those of Gotfrag and Crossfire's Liam "crow" Crowley, on the tournament website here.

Tonight the most important event of 2007 kicks off, the now inaugural Crossfire PrizeFight Challenge. Due to massive time constraints in Enschede seed 1 and seed 4 of each group will play each other online.

The first match sees minions clan ALIS take on CPC #1 champions Team Dignitas. ALIS were drafted in as a last minute replcement to suXus. Though they profess they're simply attending for fun, and they've little aspirations of beating Dignitas should they sneak a map tonight that'll set them up perfectly for this weekend - Group B is undoutably the easiest group of the four.

But inevitably the most important factor today sees Night's replacement play his first official for Dignitas. Yes they've yet to announce it, and yes it's the worst kept secret in ET - sol Mr X plays tonight.

Ultraviolet Productions are proud to present their second official Enemy Territory movie

Zaigon (Mirror from Smireboule) @ Switzerland
Zaigon (Mirror from Fusen) @ US, West Coast
Zaigon (Mirror from Arni) @ Germany

Approaching our city steps a lengthy 224 days after our previous release - one4one Decimated - this is the first and very long awaited movie by Hannes 'hannes' Anders since he joined our crew back in September 2006. To see his previous movie, you can check it out here - Heroine.

Back in July 2006, hannes started searching for frags for an Enemy Territory Community Fragmovie - a concept where demo submission is open to everyone, which is very popular in other games such as Quake, but hasn't really been attempted before in ET with any great success at this level. We here at Ultraviolet Productions hope to have set the benchmark for community movies in ET for the future.
