Hello from Shanghai!
Greetings CF Fans from Shanghai, China!
We have arrived here at the hotel for the CrossFire Stars competition. Currently Carbon is in transit on their way to Shanghai to compete!
We will try to update here at some interval with updates on the tournament, but it will be easier to post pictures and other news to post when we come back home once the tournament is concluded!
There will be a twitch broadcast so watch out for that link. You can get the latest news on the Official CF Stars website here:
http://www.crossfirestars.com/season1/en/
Lastly, there has been updated news on the prize structure. The top 3 teams will be invited to compete again at the next CF Stars tournament.
That's right! There will be another CF Stars tournament, stay tuned for qualifying information as well as WCG information for Canada and the US.
Good Luck to Carbon!

Hey Everyone!
Team Carbon got into Shanghai and checked in to the tournament. We had a player meeting today. Look for a couple of pictures on our Facebook page soon showing what the stage is going to look like!
It's a huge building with a massive crowd area, giant screens and an amazing main stage.
The rest of the matches are held in the back area of the convention room floor. Carbon will get a chance to play their first match on the main stage tomorrow at 4pm (that's 4am for you people in the EST time zone!!).
Watch the cast live here:

SmileGate will be saving the replays from the matches and we will be in touch with them to get replays and make trailers etc.
We'll update as best we can throughout Day 1 tomorrow. Look for results then!
Good night everyone from Shanghai! -

Is that the guy in white shirt is Saidin ? LOL
Ps : couple mins till live streaming
Looks like it. Shirt's baby blue. I rock it with style boys, that's how it's done here in Shanghai.
This photo was a press opportunity, and a chance for the publishers and team managers to look at the venue the night before. We were scoping out where matches would be played and the computers etc.
Day 1 of the tournament has now wrapped up. We've got some pictures to put up, but won't get a chance to tonight. It's midnight and we're all wiped. Oh and by the way, Carbon advances to the quarters!
The best thing about a double elimination tournament is that you can always come back from 1 loss to keep going. That's exactly what Carbon did. Getting their tournament jitters out in an hour long delay during setup time due to a computer error on Andrej's PC coupled with an intense matchup vs one of the teams from China meant that the team was able to get themselves set and ready for the rest of the tournament.
Similar to the FG LAN in Toronto, there were setup issues throughout the day as teams all wanted to get their own equipment working. In addition to that, players found it more relaxing and easier to play on the back PC's (in the picture above) than on the main stage itself. The Chinese teams are used to that kind of focus, but the NA team lost their way in what ended up being a closer match than the score told on the main stage.
After a successful rebound in their second game Carbon was then put to the test as the tournament organizers released the team for the evening, told them to pack up and play their first match tomorrow morning. THEN called the entire team back to play their final match to determine who moves to the quarters vs another team from China.
A 5k from Andrej is about all you need to know from that! We were all exhausted and I don't think anyone got a video from it. But it will go down as one of the more epic moments in the history of the game. The entire side of the back PC's was divided between Carbon fans and HG Fans and after that 5k Carbon never looked back.
Carbon advances to the quarters. So for those who insist on trash talking, I say prove it on the battlefield in the next tournament, and understand that in a double-elimination tournament you're not out with the first loss.
So for those who have already lost faith, or perhaps they never had it in the first place, maybe competitive CF isn't the place for you. But for those who understand the intense action of a LAN and realize the heat all teams face when under pressure at this tournament, stick around because Carbon and the rest of the teams to make it to the Quarters face off their matches tomorrow. Something tells me, this isn't the last you've seen on the main stage from Carbon!
Good night from Shanghai! Results and more action will be posted tomorrow. Pictures and more will be posted later!
Go Carbon! -

Go Carbon!
Go tell people from other versions of cf that NA didn't have an AC for their qualifier and record their reaction.
