It has been only one or two days since 4i have announced that Squall will not play with them at the Crossfire Prizefight. Leaving 4i.et with a big problem just before this event is about to start. But what are the reasons for this departure? Not one good reason was given untill now..
It seems that Squall has left 4i.et to hook up with former idle squad, Dignitas. Making the Dignitas lineup for CPC 2 the following :

Squall
r3vers
urtier
senji
reload
jakazc


I hooked up with Squall to talk to him about his departure from 4i and his future at Dignitas

Hi Squall, first of all congrats on joining probably on of the most powerful teams around! How does it feel to actually be part of the dignitas team?

Well, thanks haha! It feels great you know, everyone knows dignitas is pretty much the best team around and when they asked me some time ago about the last spot in their team I was quite suprised and very honored to be picked! :):)

I can imagine that! But you leaving 4i in this way leaves some pretty big questionmarks about your loyalty towards the team? This because of the fact that 4i will attend CPC 2 aswell, why this last-minute switch?

Hmm, this is indeed something I had to think about for quite some time before I could make a decision. I had so many good times with 141 ( red. 4i. ) that it really broke my heart if I was to leave them. But on the other hand this was a one time oppurtunity to play on a skill level at which I have never played before! And I think that was the main reason I made the switch, playing on a higher level.. Thats why I play the game, I wanna be the best and play with the best to beat the best

You sound like one motivated player! Last question: What is to become of you and the team when Night returns after CPC2?

Ofcourse we have spoken about this inside the team but I can not give you any information about this at this point

Well, thanks for the interview, good luck at CPC 2 and play well!

Haha, no problem!




Now we can only wait for the 13th of April to see in what way Squall will replace Night at the upcoming CPC


And allthough the timing might make you think otherwise, this is not a april fools joke..

After the departure of the KiH team, multigaming organisation Vicious and Evil were looking for another team to fill the empy spot in VAE. Weeks full of work have passed and after receiving some nice offers, we are now finally proud to present to you our new EnemyTerritory Squad. The former one4one ET-Squad will play under the flag of Vicious and Evil for the future.

Lineup:

• Harri ( Iron )
• Tuomas ( Lepari )
• Druwyn ( rAZz )
• Mike ( Sheep )
• Antonio ( vegi )
• Mr ( X² )

Leader Sheep, has this to say,

Quote

The main consideration taken into account whilst negotiating in talks with VAE, was the support they could provide us with in order to attend upcoming LAN events, most notably the Crossfire Prizefight Challenge 2. Our previous team were unable to accomodate our needs which lead us to set out on a quest for another home.

VAE have what we need in regards to both online and offline support, which proved to be the predominant trait in our decision making. We hope for a long and sucessful partnership with the VAE organisation and will be hoping to exceed the expectations set upon us by both the management team and the Enemy Territory community.

VAE CEO, panni, stated,

Not being double-present in the ET-Scene for the past few months was no option for us, and I think the 141 team is a superb substitution for our KiH mates. Let's look into a bright future with some cups, leagues and events. Not only with VAE.ET, but with the whole henhouse. Welcome and have a good time!

The new VAE.ET squad played their first official today, at the ET Masters versus the team from Impact Gaming. Without Squall, who broke his graphic card, they faced the new team of the almighty mystic, who played for teams like parodia. They weren't able to beat them on Supply nor Frostbite.

The team itself is a Finnish team named as Negative-Image, who now becomes Insignia Cadre's ET squad. Negative-Image is ranked 1st in Finnish Rankings, and belongs to TOP 6 group in the world.

We are happy to be a part of this well respected huge Finnish organisation and having the support of them helping us to do well ingame. Also we are looking forward to be competing in EuroCup and CPC3 and building a name for cadre in Enemy Territory."

Statement from Cadre Management:

"As we have said out earlier, one of Insignia Cadre's missions is to help Finnish top teams to find an ideal playing circumstances and an organisation where everyone supports each other despite the game or role. Now it is time for us to spread our arms to the Enemy Territory world and welcome the best Finnish ET -team among us! At the same time we will start to work on to build also the news crew for ET and this way give our input to increase and develop ET-scene."

Crossfire's very own [bArachon[/b] caught up with Mulsu fora short interview]

Hello Mulsu and congratulations on joining Insignia Cadre, how did you guys get in touch with this MGC?
Lettu handled all communications with Cadre and contacted them with email afaik.

It is surely a big deal to join a big MGC like this. It says on the webpage that you guys going to compete at CPC3, does this mean you guys have support from Cadre?
We just joined to mgc and we are still getting to know each others. So lets not jump ahead of things :)

Thank you for this small interview and good luck in the future. Any shout outs?
No shoutouts this time !

Tonight sees too massive games in the ET masters tournament with the latter of the games being the last match for one team.

Winners Bracket Round 1[/u]

4I 0:4 Impact Gaming
Time: 21:00 CET
Maps: TBA 1 hour before the game
ETTV:gamestv.org

These teams are yet to meet in an official however 4I have looked very strong recently taking clean wins over all opponents faced so far including the top seed in their group Netrunners.

Impact however have lost to TLR and taken only 4:2 wins over both cZar and Morrigu so their route to the knockout stages has not been so clean.

The winner of this match will set themselves up with a round 2 WB clash with the inform Zeropoint Gaming squad whereas the loser will drop down to face Auxilia in the next round.


Loosers Bracket Round 2[/u]

Netrunners 4:0 Negative Image
Time: 21:00 CET
Maps: TBA 1 hour before the game
ETTV:gamestv.org

Netrunners have been playing quite a few officials recently having beaten Zeropoint in the match for money game where they looked very strong whilst then following that up with a loss at the hands of TLR yesterday evening. Although a TLR win was expected by many so was a win by zP yet the poles have managed to beat the odds on that occasion. Most would consider Netrunners favorites ahead of tonights game yet their form has been inconsistent to say the least so who knows what will happen tonight.

Negative Image kick started their ET Masters campaign with a massive upset beating the highly rated Polar eSports side 4:0 and going on from there to secure qualification of the group in 1st place. They then came up against Pingwins it an incredibly exciting game which saw them beaten 4:2 on a tie break map. The odds would show that as an unexpected result so just the same as their opponents tonight Netrunners you could argue that img are also struggling for consistency in their form.

What that leaves us with is a game where anything could happen but for one it will be the end of their ET masters tournament.

Updated

After running for a week the CODQCUP has reached its final stages. 64 teams would battle out for the prizes made available by Qpad, Plantronics, X3Mservers and Noctua.

The cup features a groupstage and also a playoff stage with a winner and loser bracket. In the winner bracket the french team emuLate surprised us all by cutting trough top teams such as dignitas and Serious Gaming (old ixus / digitalMind) (EuroCup Gold and Silver medalists). They have taken the lead in the winner bracket and will meet with Serious Gaming yet again in the CODQCUP finals.

The fearless team of Serious Gaming look eager to proof they are not to be messed with in their rematch versus emuLate, who they lost against in the winner bracket. Now after defeating defeating Team Dignitas yesterday 13 to 8 Serious will get a chance to restore their image.

Date of the finals to be announced

CODQCUP

The biggest rivalry in Australian ET comes to a head tonight as hotshots Adversus take on Modus Operandi. A rivalry that has seen many a tough word said between the two will now come to a head after modus challenged the number one ranked team and back to back champions in the gamearena season 9 ladder, Adversus.

Without too much difficulty most ET fans will remember Modus from their time in Dallas at Quakecon 2005. However come 'The Ashes' match between Australia and Europe it was Adversus that not only ruled the roster but also were the reigning champions from down under. Infact adversus have beaten modus the last 5 times they've met.

And just to confound a current European debate, the match will be played best of 5 on Supply Depot!

Modus 3-0 Adversus

Report

Modus were simply too hot to handle as they rolled back the years in a 3-0 whitewash of their arch rivals. It was former advs' Ike's first victory over his old teammates and in the final round he delivered the finnishing blow with highest damage and kills. Though he may steal the headlines Chevron will take a notable chunk of the applause with an equally superlative display as engineer. Advs big guns Iceman and HM certainly pulled off some nice multi kills but it wasnt enough to stop the rot as MO ran out comfortable winners in this best of 5 game.

As the well known Eurocup approaches, we see new teams appearing just like mushrooms after a rainy day. Among these teams there is a team called #eZ. What does this team have to offer? A combination of motivated, skilled and experienced players that are there to give tough times for current top teams? Time will tell, you will decide.

People can say eZ isn't skilled, people can say eZ isn't experienced, but that will surely not take away the high motivation we currently keep up! We will be hoping for a chance to turn that motivation into good results, maybe such an opportunity will arise in the Eurocup? *fingers crossed*

Players on the spotlight:

- The team is lead by decem. A multiclasser and bestest panzer, mostly known from constant xfirespam and teams like #stfu? and black magic.
