The time has passed when every single Crossfire News was just about a new game. So let's get to the point where we can talk about who needs such a thing and what ET has been about in the past years: The cheats and the cheaters with the idols and the wannabes.

In The Crossfire is a magazine focusing on one topic, based on the reactions it is possible to be released each each month and should explain facts, storys and ideas to collect everything together written at the most important scene page(s) and adding an edition vision to it to bring an attention and discussion up with many more ideas.

Statements
diO: SRP maybe could take it like last time impact did it at the Lower Bracket to dignitas, but this time the first war was less closer than the previous edition so I will say 4-2 dignitas!
h3ll: Hmm I think dignitas wil ltake it again - the way they played yesterday against czar was not that good but against SRP it was like a nice and impressive comeback to show SRP something like 'sure u can get some leet players but winning from us is not that easy' :P

The former BioXar ET player takes his clan KomaCrew to the very top and proves his ability to control and hit everything with beating team ephix player h1o clearly on 2 maps.

Quote by Team-Dignitas black

Coming into this final against a team where i have played every member at some point i wouldnt underestimate any of them, but i believe we should be able to take the win. Regarding our team over the past weeks we have recruited 2 new players and a very suitable 6th, unfortunately we have been unable to practice with plazma due to him just moving house and having no net, however lopezz has filled in very well.

Quote by Reason-Gaming Karl

It will be a good test for us to play this game against Dignitas. We have only been a team for a few weeks and we havn't played that much together. But we are getting noticably better as we play more. We were happy to bring in Benn and Trainee because they bring a huge amount of experience and it's showing in our game. This will be the first reasonably serious match we have had to play yet.So we are gona give it our all. Toujane been the map, is probably a good thing.. but we don't know what Dignitas are like on it, so we arent sure whether or not to be happy about it. I think we have a good chance of winning, but the new players Dignitas brought are top notch so it will be a tough game for both sides im sure. We just hope we put on a good show for GIGA.

Being shown on a TV station is not even a major point regarding sponsors and fans, it's even important for keeping a game alive or to promote the upcoming title of it. With having problems finding fitting teams for a major TV event, I'm proud bringing the one and only important CoD2 One-Day cup back up on our very own crossfire.

Regarding the upcoming CDC3 edition 2 where CoD2 is played, you can prove yourself to a big audience and prove your ability to be one of the best European teams. 8 teams are trying their best to take their road to be in a list next to our last winner eSuba.

The final match of this cup will be broadcasted live by GIGA, a free web stream is available as well as the full quality stream right into your TV with Astra Digital (kinda in Germany only).

6on6
The king is dead - Atleast the former line up of the current VAE and former 141.et team who is still on the very top of our last series ranking with winning against n1ce.it, a new season can bring a new team up to the top. According to the choice of playable maps in the past, we have decided to take in the one and only dusty and spammy map in ET back into our pool. For everyone who thought karsiah is playable, we will prove you how playable the old Oasis is. With removing Frostbite and adding Bremen in the latest version, we hope to bring you up some hot games with much of fun playing the cup on your own.

Twidi: The time for the game is a bit late for us finns, but we still quite easily managed to gather 6 players for the game as we were very interested about the idea to play this showmatch shown on GIGA2. About the game, we haven't been practicing yet with Team Finland as we just managed to gather the team together, so I guess it's pretty hard to predict anything about the game, but hopefully it'll be entertaining game specially for all the specators!

Butchji: I agree with twidi. (Editor version: I'm too lazy to write one)
