Presenting the first ET Cast episode proper. After releasing three pilot episodes at the end of last year we decided to continue the series until the summer and will look to continue improving the show each episode.

The format for this and future ET Cast episodes will be as follows:

• Scene News
  
• Team News
  
• Competition Updates
  
• ET Cast Top10
  
• Fragmovie of the Month

This episode covers both January and February, including the Germany Community Challenge, TLR eSports Challenge, Dignitas Vibe Cup and Fragmovies of the month. Sadly there may be viewing issues for people located in Germany, I would suggest using a proxy if you wish to tune in.

The time has come for the floodgates to open. With well over a hundred teams showing interest in the first eSports Challenge LAN, the event is sure to be a great way to kick off your summer! There are currently only 16 slots in each competition, so in order to secure your spot, you better move quick!

In order to reserve a spot for you and your team in the competition, you must provide the following information in an email to lan(at)tlr-clan.co.uk

• Team name
  
• Team spokesperson
  
• Which tournament you want to participate in (COD4 or ET)

The date to sign up to TLR's eSports Challenge is just around the corner. Signups open on the 1st of March, we've already had multiple teams contact us to advise their payments are ready. To ensure we do not overbook any teams, the sign up procedure will be very simple and clear - it will still be on a first come, first serve basis.

On Tuesday the 1st of March, A Signups open post will be released here on crossfire, the announcement should happen around 19:00 CET - only one person should sign up their team, to avoid complications teams should decide who will be available to sign up at the time and date.

Once we have all 16 teams signed up, they will be mailed a full form with information we need as well as payment details for the event. Get your teams organised now so you don't miss out on your chance to participate at the event.

TLR have announced a mapping competition for Enemy Territory, the aim will be for the map to be played at the upcoming TLR eSports Challenge event in early July.

After contacting well known and experienced scene members, Clown, crumbs, drago, Jere, mztik, numeric, R0SS, urtier, Vanhaomena and Owzo. Our 'mapping panel' answered some questions for us regarding a potential new map for Enemy Territory.

We are now less than a month away from the signups opening for TLR’s eSports Challenge which is due to take place at the beginning of July this year. A list of teams interested in the event can be found HERE.

We will be offering some of the 16 slots to teams on this list who we believe are the most likely to attend and compete in the tournament based on prior attendance to other events. So if you’re interested in attending the event message me here on crossfire with your hopeful lineup.

I am pleased to bring you the great news of 'eSport Challenge', A LAN hosted by TLR which is due to take place Friday 1st July - Sunday 3rd July 2011 at the very recognisable Wzzrd LAN centre, Enschede.

Presenting the third and last Pilot episode of Phoenix TV's ET Cast - December 2010. The plan for ET Cast was to produce three pilot episodes bringing you monthly coverage of Enemy Territory covering news, competitions, fragmovies and more.

As mentioned, this was the last Pilot episode, we do hope to continue doing more but nothing is confirmed long term just yet. We are always looking for new ideas in what to cover in our shows, so feel free to comment or message myself if you want to share your own ideas.

Also, anyone wanting or willing to help out with any visuals for video or imaging feel free to message me. So far I have a couple of people who are helping out and this will all be announced soon, but the more the merrier.

Following on from last months first ET-Cast Pilot episode, the second of three pilot episodes is now complete.

The plan is to have 3 pilot episodes completed by the end of the year and then we will sit back and look at if it is viable to continue. We will work hard on changing the show if people come up with good ideas for different aspects of what we already do or totally new ideas - we tested the water with online interviews last month and this month we have done the same with a written interview and our very own 'Top 10'.

Links to the interview and the Top 10 can be found at the bottom of the page underneath the youtube embedded videos. Please subscribe to support the cause!

As most teams within top level Enemy Territory have now got homes & support with some MGC's, Project Phoenix is now concentrating on spreading ET outside the scene - we will still help out the teams that have contacted us already, and also any future teams that need a hand - but one of the main objectives of the project was to educate people outside the scene about ET - and this is one step we wanted to take.
