So here we are on Xfire 3. At times it looked as if the moment would never happen, and it certainly wouldn't but for the incredible efforts of our head coder,
taLamasca. At the Crossfire LAN in Rotterdam I took a few moments out with taLa to talk Xfire 3 and discover a little more about our reclusive creator, the results of which can now be seen in our brand new interviews section. Here's a short extract to whet your appetite:

I offer taLa the chair as there is only one, and we get down to the nitty gritty. The subject of course is xfire 3, and I begin by asking him just how much of a challenge the process of taking xfire from 2 to 3 has been. This clearly is a subject taLa can speak for a long time on. His eyebrows furrow, and I'm given the sort of look that says 'if only you knew'. He talks about the trials of practically rewriting the site in order to remove all the bugs, and starting the new version from the ground up. He reels through the list with speed, touching on security, expanding features, starting with a blank canvass, not to mention the ever changing objectives being placed before him. Ending with a sigh, this last point seems to weigh in almost heavy fashion on his mind. Having spoken with taLa on many occasions before the LAN, I have an idea what he might say when pressed for the reasons.

Its been a long time coming, however Crossfire 3 is here and here to stay! The third installment of the Crossfire community has been expertly coded by the wonderful and tireless taLa to whom we all owe a great deal of thanks!

This Monday evening the signups for Warleagues Season 7 opened up. Clans will be able to sign up untill Monday the 13th of November.



All matches of Warleagues Season 7 will be played using the 6v6 format, using the Warleagues.com Season 7 Config and the latest ET & ETPro versions.

The first match will be the official opening match of our 6on6 Fall Series. In division 1 dtekt will face Ultima Ratio on frostbite and SW Goldrush TE. At 23.30 CET it will be the IPS clash of vib facing diversus.



The second match will bring you the Russian team of Violence is Bad will facing the Polish top team diversus to gain some points and money in the rankings. Both met each other during the qualifiers and showed a close and hot fight, now they can prove they pracced much more and gain a better result for themself.

This Sunday night we have uQ and diversus in the spotlight facing each other to get their first win in the IPS. The maps will be Braundorf and SW Goldrush, two known maps for both teams with established tactics up and running. At 20:30 CET both teams can prove and get in a better spot in the rankings.

Statement uQ - chaoz: My statement is kinda the same shit as last week. The ET god seems not to be with us. Joop is leaving sunday morning for a class trip, he will be replaced by crajsor. We dont know yet what to do. If we're able to play diversus on sunday is not sure, but If you can expect an exciting match. Cant rate how strong they are since we never played them so far.

Statement diversus - kot: We haven't been able to practise enough recently due to several problems, but we still believe that we can come out victorious of this match.

For those who does not have anything better to do tonight at 3:00 CET, you will have the opportunity to watch the battle between United States and Canada. It is a battle of who will reign supreme in the North American continent, and who gets to flame who on the ET-center forum.

So far there has only been published one ETTV server for this match, but hopefully there will come more (me waves at GTV.org). The lineup of the Canadian forces has already been announced; a team that attended the 5v5 one-day cup just a week ago. The team to defend the honour of USA is a mix of players from different clans, it is however not linked with NationsCup team.

Call of Duty 1 superstars Cubic have returned to action, some of the artists formerly known as iNfensus have grouped together to form a powerful Swedish team for the upcoming WonderBase and PlayZ lans to be held in Sverige, all be it playing under the name cubic and not iNfensus!.

With an all Swedish lineup, and the obvious home soil advantage this team must instantly command respect, their names and reputation plus the lack of travel needed will aid them, however, their lack of time is going to hurt them. Cubic are as follows:

Bullovic
Slize
Lokkish
case
Toppe

Be sure to watch out for them in the coming months, and to find out more Crow has posted an introduction and interview over at CrowFrag.com
