This Sunday will be another Sunday with a lot of quality matches. The big matches will come from the #et.tourney cup and as previous Sundays from CB NationsCup XV. Make sure to grab some popcorn and possibly tune into a shoutcaster and of course watch the quality games on ETTV I’m also really happy to announce that I’ve got no one less that top GBooky player: Salaneuvos to do predicitions for this news post, unfortunately I’ve contacted him to late and will have to edit those predicitions in later. Let’s start off a bit different. Instead of some high quality ET matches I will start off with sharing an RtCW match that’s going to be streamed and on WTV. I’m talking about the eZbash RtCW 3v3 Final featuring no one less than mystic!

After a lot of controversy, the 2nd Division of ESL's winter League will end tonight as Chickens With Guns takes on jari.et, after winning the first final 4-0 put themselves on level pegging with the winners bracket winners and then things went a bit ludicrous. You can read all about it here, but the moral of the story is idiocy does not top stupidity.

ESL announced there 3on3 version of NationsCup, Country Championship (abbreviation CC) and the sign ups ended a few days ago. 62 teams signed up representing 24 countries. 46 teams are going to be dropped since there are only 16 spots available for the Group Stage.

With the upcoming CB EuroCup and the Adroits ET Masters the Enemy Territory teams have to wake up from hibernation and get back to their old shape or proof what they are worth off in case of a new team formation and the best opportunity to do so is the newly introduced #et.tourney hosted by fanatic. The Polish countryman has created a tournament for 48 teams divided into 12 groups and with tonight`s evening coming closer and closer we will see at least two first class games broadcasted by GamesTV.org.

The success of our recently concluded CyberGamer Premier and Amateur Prize Leagues managed to keep our Australian ET community alive in what seemed a hopeful and last ditch effort to revive our competitive scene with $750 split in prize money to the winners of the competitions.
The prize leagues, run and organised by player and admin biggz, saved aus.et from a total shift into the dark and scary world of etpub.

Razer has recently announced the launch of The Razer Academy. The Academy is in many ways an educational platform on coverage and learning's from people who have something to share from their position in eSports. The platform will feature Live Streams, VODs and Columns from contributors on a variety of subjects. Personally I'll be promoting a number of the games eSports often leaves behind and that includes ET!

Speaking of Razer & ET. I'm glad to say that Razer will be sponsoring the next edition of the Battle for Berlin tournament. They have kindly donated our first place prizes and along with The Academy and BFB2 are looking to work closely with Crossfire and ET in the future.
