State of the European competitive scene
Are you serious?
Are there ANY teams at the moment?
It has literally completely died, if you're a competitive player (inb4 trolls: or someone just wanting scrims) like myself, there is literally nowhere to go.
This is ridiculous, can someone name me at least 4/5 EU/UK-based teams who participate competitively at the moment?
I've seen a few clans around but they're either utterly inactive, or just dead. The rest are mainly pub teams (with surprisingly decent shots) who just play it out in Clan Server.
Either the potentially good pub players need to be sought out and introduced to competitive play (although most of them show no interest in doing so) or continue 'scrimming' Turk Imperial in Clan Server.
Some guys I know who used to play this version of CF are now making a competitive team in CF EU and have flocked over there.
NA is looking a lot more lively (inb4 trolls: yes I know UK was never as competitive as NA) with some teams who can easily find another team to scrim properly. Not here though.
I myself have joined a pub-based team ([UK]Aces) out of simple desperation and the want to play SOMETHING with a team, although I'll probably end up getting kicked for trying to organise something in 'CWs'. You can see for yourself how bad this is.
What's happened to competition on this side of the world?
Personally, I miss the old ACTIVE EU/UK community, before CFEU, where we even had an active PUG vent going on and a fairly solid community.
From what I can see all competitive EU/UK players have either quit, playing a different version, or just joining 'scrim' teams which won't leave their pub to play a 5.
What a mess.

I've just started browsing these forums again, i don't play cf anymore so i don't know too much about the current cf uk competitive crisis. I didn't even know there was a server split. but.
If UK players are not denied access to the European servers then why not just play there if there is more of a competitive atmosphere there. Also i don't recall any leagues/tournaments for CF UK are taking place currently or anytime soon. Although this new league "ESG" is coming soon. Why not get in touch with one of the Admins and ask them if there are going to be any events for CF UK. If not then organize something for pub clans to be interested in, be the solution to the problem. -
I can hardly name 1 team.
Just get some EU player to make u a CF EU account and play there, quite a few scrims and there's some random draft ran by some polish team on tonight from what i heard.
We cant play ESL on CF EU because we can effectively get banned but i know 10+ UK's who are doing so.
Still its allot better to scrim over there than pub over here, 1 day hopefully not in the distant future SG will get hold of the UK licence then we can play ESL. -

We are denied access, of course we can IP Change to play, but a lot of people just don't want to I guess. CF EU has some $10k EMS (Is that right?) Tourny coming up too.
I do think (correct me if i'm wrong here) that ESG will be having something for eu, or just allow us to play anyway, I don't remember.
@Tryhard, I've resorted to a casual pub game or two, gonna do the GM Tourny and aside from that I just play LoL most of the time. -

Kopped we don't need an IP changer to play cf EU -
If you could say how to play it instead of just saying the other person is wrong would be great.
Yes, no problem sir. It's literally as simple as this, get some one who isn't IP banned from crossfire Europe, ask them to make you an account. i suggest you ask a friend/someone you trust, then once the account has been made you can log in to CF EU.
If players from an ip banned country tries to make an account it wont allow you to log in, but if someone makes you an account, and is from a country that can play CF EU it will work.
Don't ask me how this is, it just is. -

^true. And i can play on both versions.
Ive been pubbing quite a lot the past few days on the NA version simply because the EU sucks so much i cant even buy permanent guns
Dont really see anyone around on pubs and no one from apepquable is interested in coming back so if anyone wants to play just xfire me i guess
