This evening, Danish Multigaming organisation Alis has announced its return to Enemy Territory!

In a week when Danish CS team SoA qualified for the GGL Transatlantic finals, and just weeks after the muslim world turned on the danes, the return of ALIS will please many as the side were one with many friends when they were last active.

Some may ask, ALIS, who the f*ck is ALIS? - well one of their most comical achievements has to have been in the North Pole cup of 2003 when the side battled out an epic 6 hour match, which continued to be a stalemate and then had to be decided on Oasis, after 6 hours...ALIS lost. However in the summer of 2004 Alis was said to be a top 10 clan in Europe by Mr. Shakes (High praise by Shakes' standard!)

Danish ET has been somewhat on the rocks after the last attempted revival of uNtried failed, but this time a similar group of players are bidding to go one better, and there was once even mention of a former powerhouse picking up his MP40 again!

The New Roster of ALIS is:

Arachon (ex Alis, TKB)
Blaa (ex Alis, uNtried)
Lagger (ex Alis, uNtried)
Blazer (ex Signum)
Degg7 (ex uNtried)
Kark (ex uNtried, Kapow!, dn.rtcw)
Sideeffect (ex id.no, Sovereign)
Hellgoat (ex sweRTCW, mori)

Leader Arachon had this to say;

Quote

Having traveled around in different clans for a bit over a year now, I am extremely happy to be back in the clan that I was co-founding back in 2000. For some people a clan name and tag does not mean anything, for me however it does and I feel that I will continue in this clan into either ET:QW or RtCW 2.

ALIS is the 4th new face on the block this weekend, dare I ask Who's next?

Theres a new team on the block and it goes by the name of dFIANCE!

As of 19.00 CET This evening, the european multigaming organisation dFIANCE has announced the acquisition of a new Enemy Teritory team. dFIANCE adds ET to roster of squads which also features Quake4, DoD 1.3, CoD2 & Counterstrike:Source.

If you looked at the picture it will be no surprise to you that the roster is as follows:

viol (ex bhstyle, engine)
FiED (ex splash-damage)
conan (ex aGu)
silent (ex vib)
brot (ex helix)
NuggaN (ex bhstyle)
murDa (ex helix, IDKFA)
tba (ex iNfensus)

This almost fully german speaking roster will be aiming to enter into the next Eurocup season and FiED (formerly kerialy, now back to his older, better nickname) had the following to say:

Quote

After being formed from Assiclans, this team aims to have the longevity factor that our previous clans have lacked. We're gunning for Eurocup and hoping to become a mainstay in the community

Join dFIANCE at #dfiance and Dfiance-Gaming.net

This is the third new roster announced this weekend, and a hive of activity is surrounding the ET community at the moment, the question is, Who's next?

Tommorow night Germany take on Poland in the most highly anticipated game of this seasons Nations Cup. However, for one family this game will see not only two nations at war, but a family at war, I quote from uncyclopedia;

Quote

Since 2004 the new national anthem of Germany is "Schnappi das kleine Krokodil". The most famous version of the song is the one when Schnappi sings himself. Schnappi is originally from Egypt but had emigrate in 2004 for being politically persecuted. For Germany accepts every emigrant, the small Krokodil chose to hunt the dumb country. His uncle is called Schnapsi, lives in Emmaboda, Sweden, and is an alcoholic. Not to forget is also his aunt Schlampi, living in Poland.

The national anthem will be sung before the game by Schnappi live on iTG, however his aunt Schlampi has disowned her nephew for not joining her in Poland and the family is in tatters!

In other news; Germany lie top of group D with Poland hot on their tails in second place. Germany who have failed to impress in national competition are now starting to show the quality that their community has always had, the question is whether they can get themselves a medal this year?
The Polish opposition will be feirce, dont forget Polands gold medal that they stole from the Finns in NC 3, and for a country that has never had fruits in the clan scene the weight of their country rests on these brave soldiers!

Germany vs Poland
Date: Monday 6th March - 21:00 CET
ETTV: GamesTV.org
Shoutcast: iTG`TosspoT
Maps: SupplyDepot & Braundorf

Prediction
I personally believe this is Germanys best ever season in Nations Cup. Having been on the end of a beating from the Germans when I was playing for the UK, and having shoutcasted them over the years, I've not seen them in as good a form as I did when they played Russia earlier this season. I think they'll take Poland to the cleaners tommorow, and if they can do that they can go all the way!

Lots of games listed for ETTV today, made up of the Clanbase Benelux Cup, NationsCup, and of course ET.Gather cup, which starts (and ends) today. At time of writing (the unholily early time of 10.31am), the first round draw has already taken place, so plant your eyes on either the official grid, or the listings on GamesTV.org for both matches and ETTV infos. Follwing the theme of late draws, the #et.gather cup has only one fixture announced so far with all games between 15.30 - 20.15 CET still waiting to learn of their ETTV slot count. You can see all the first round matches, and watch the cup progress on the grid page, where games such as last season's uQ beating winners team kirby taking on the Israeli clan divinity, and the newly reformed Insta-Gods lineup finding out what they've got in a game against the Polish side VooDoo.
However, we do have one ETTV confirmed game starting after lunch:

ET.Gather Cup - Site

14:15 CET - inf0 vs prodigy
Originally scheduled to pitch Dutch side prodigy against the Warriors of Wolfenstein, inf0 have had to step in following the WoW camp's decision to fold after many months of fine performances. The ever-strong Polish contingent on gtv are predicting an easy win for inf0, but knowing prodigy these thoughts will be far from shared. Fighting for a place against the winner of SKIT-EVIL and Kids with Guns, this seems as good a game as any to mark the start of the 3rd ET.Gather cup.

Clanbase Benelux 6v6 - Site

19:00 CET - prodigy vs dHb
Prodigy return to action here in the Benelux Cup II, premier division group B. dHb come into the game having beaten promethia in a close game, whilst prodigy require wins tonight and against promethia in order to place top of the group. Otherwise, dHb will have full points, and leave the other two teams scrapping for second spot. While I'm here, I'd just like to say someone should really take responsibility for the Cup page, the grid hasn't been updated and apparently we are in the Status: Fourth Matchweek (20 Feb - 27 Feb). Let's sort this cup out!

21:00 CET - fdnl vs mycruz
ZLINKO and company will set about all but destroying the flying dutchmen's hopes in this cup tonight, who require a win to stay in the competition after losing their last game to cs3r.Routiniers in a straight 4:0 defeat. mycruz on the other hand will surely see themselves as the stronger team anyway and should be able to last the distance over the two maps sw_goldrush and radar. If mycruz win this, fdnl will have to wait on the result of mycruz vs Routiniers to see their final group placing. Overall, nothing less than a win will do for fdnl, but mycruz might just be too strong anyway.

Clanbase NationsCup - Site

20:00 Spain vs Norway
Spain and Norway side right next to each other in group D, with the Spaniards claiming 3rd spot and the Norweigans one place below in 4th. Both teams had different starts to their tournaments, with Spain flattened by a strong Germany team, but Norway navigating a win against Eire. However, a reversal of fortune then followed, which saw Norway unable to beat Poland, but Spain beat Switzerland in a tight game right through from prediction to result. Including this game, Norway have a tight schedule to play, with a game against Switzerland being forced for tomorrow, meaning there will be no restbite for Snuble and team. The symmetry of the fixture was confirmed when Spain beat Eire the other day, meaning that this game really does decide who swims, and who drowns.

20:00 CET - France vs USA
France have upheld their impressive appetite for defeat this NationsCup with losses in all four of their games against Hungary, Holland, Czech Republic and Sweden. Tough games, but the group of death takes no prisoners, and the cheese-eating surrender monkeys now see themselves down in position 6 out of 7, rated better than Malta on a purely statistical basis. The two sides meet next matchweek, but France's opponents tonight have already played the Maltese and won, hence their slightly better group rank. Effectively, these two teams are now only playing for pride, and it would take one unbelievable flurry or red-cards or drop outs to keep these two in the NationsCup. Still, at least the Yanks can go back to doing what they're best at, being the other side of the pond, and the French won't have any annoying irregularities in their national acheivement list (one Frenchman once boasted to me that France were the world champions of handball, until I posted out that they both invented it, and are the only nation to take it seriously).

21:00 CET Hungary vs Malta
Some would say I've been a little too harsh on Malta this NationsCup; they have, after all, given it their best, and produced some tense and close rounds despite results claiming otherwise. But the fact remains that they still have failed to win a single match, and can be found at the bottom of the same group as the above game. Hungary have produced a mixed bag also, from losing tough games against the likes of Holland and Sweden, but winning the easier games versus the USA and France, it would seem to be a case of having enough quality, but being unable to deliver when the pressure was really on. Nevertheless Hungary still have the Czechs to play after this, the result of which will only then determine the sucess of their season. Malta of course can now only play for pride, and attempt to show the ET community that they are more than just there to make an appearance. Whilst the Hungarians will prove to be as stiff an opposition as any, they have a real chance come next matchweek against France, and perhaps this knowledge will propel them to something special tonight.

21:30 CET - Estonia vs Canada
For Estonia, this match will have something of an edge to it. Widely expected to topple Slovenia last round, their loss dropped them down to 3rd place in the group to the bemusement of the players and their followers alike. Canada are unlikely to provide any real threat having lost all their games thus far and holding last place, but Estonia must ensure they do not slip into a complacent mind-set that looks to undo the predicted dominance we all know the team is capable of. Austria next round will provide a greater challenge, but the great teams have to be able to perform on not only the big stage but also the small stage too. Kind of like do the simple things right first, then greatness later. In anycase, Canda look unlikely to force the Estonians out of 2nd gear, and will look forward to the result from the upcoming game between Belgium and Slovenia.

Monday 21:00 CET Poland vs Germany
TosspoT asked me to leave this one to him, for the simple reason that he will be on hand to cast the game courtesy of iTG. More coverage to follow shortly!

All the games mentioned here can be checked for ETTV, including updates, at the ever reliable GamesTV.org

You can find the us in #AgonyRealm Thx for your time.

I cought up with aCoZz, the leader of a new ET clan, who told me few words about it.

Tell us something about the clan and who's idea it was?

Quote

Generaly the idea to start up a new clan was dAv1d's and mine. We were both searching for a clan some time, and in the end we decided to try with Goliath. We got some excellent players in, and after few weeks decided to publish ourselfes officialy. Atm we are playing as much as we can to prepare ourselfes for the upcoming cups / events, in which we are eager to participate.

What are your goals and what do you actually expect from this clan?

Quote

Mainly our goals are to stay on the scene as long as possible, because even with all the problems this game has, we still love it as from the first day. We expect to participate in next EC, and untill then maybe win some cups / tournaments.

Lineup:

aCoZz
dAv1d
gmx
p4h
JaKaZc
illy-ya
VeXx
eMoReJ
bm

Sure this clan has bucket loads of potential, but do they have the strength to fight against the usual destiny of all Europen clans, the 2weeks paranoia?
Will they still be around when there's anything worth fighting for?

Till we find out, support them at #Goliath.et

Good luck guys!

Following the recent February 17th release of the GtkRadiant source code under the general GPL license, TTimo and company have decided to celebrate by rolling out major update to the Radiant series, coming in at version 1.5.0 - build 03-02.

Such are the changes from the previous version, that the team have declared this a fully suitable replacement for v1.4.0, pending only further feedback from public testing and any stability issues. Bugs may still be reported of course.

Finally, continuing tradition, both Windows and Linux versions are available for download unlike a certain voice communication program. Mac users will have to wait for their turn, in spite of the fact that no Mac port has even been annouced in production.

Just days after the shortlists for the GGL Golden Llamas was revealed the GGL news team rounded up two of our stars for a look inside their movie making careers.

The first under the spotlight was Frederic “dirrty” Roginska creator of Violent Reflection, nominated for “Best Wolfenstein“. He reflects on his life as a university student living in Paris, how he got into video gaming and the tough competition.

Quote

Considering the other submitted movies, how do you rate your chances of winning an award?

It's hard to say. I don't think I have such editing skills like in R3 Trailer or Winghaven movie, and I'm still fascinated by santabot's work, but I'm sure VIB movie has definitely the most impressive content ever shown in any ET/RTCW movie.

Read the full interview here

Next under the spotlight was the Wolfenstein demi-legend mAx, with his movie mAx Chapter 2 competing in the “Best Fragmovie” category. He too reflects on his movie making career, from his routes of simply creating .avis with clan mates to modern day frag movie classics.

Quote

Describe your submitted movie.

Well, I believe there is 2 kinds of movies in ET and RtCW. The ones about editing, and the others about frags. People who tried to mix both always failed. So I focused on showing frags more than showing special effects. I guess my goal was to show it was possible to do some nice actions with a normal gun in ET, even if the game is more about teamplay and spam. Most of the people just see the amount of players fragged, more than the way they are fragged, I wanted to show the 2nd option in this movie.

Alex “Robo-K1ll“ Curson creator of Get Quaked 3 was also featured, you can find that interview here
