    It's perfectly normal for you to have that opinion, we've given you no reason to think otherwise.

    But we'll call you out when we actually do have a UK tournament or involve UK players in tournaments with prize availability. And then we'll see who's lying!

    Is it impossible to create an entirely different cf for UK?

    you say something about being under the same license and if you take a look at brazil, it's still under the domain of z8games.

    Thus is it impossible for your team to virtually create another cf specifically for UK?

    Hi,

    We're very busy here but I wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge this well thought out post.

    I have to keep it brief for now, but essentially the issue here is with licensing and contracts. Legal issues. It is impossible to arbitrarily flip a switch and remove the IP blocks from either of the games. So from that perspective we sort of have to end the idea. This may change in the future, and we would be glad to make plenty of announcements for whatever the change would be.

    But for now the way the division is, it's beyond our control. It's a legal matter between 2-3 companies.


    So now that we know we need to spend more time with the UK People we realize we can do this with tournaments and prize support for them.

    The first ESG Winter series tournament has cash prizes which is an amazing thing to see in CrossFire, we're already scheduled for a second tournament with them for cash prizes. And if we're lucky even more.

    The point here is that Cash prize tournaments will be a regular thing within CrossFire.

    The second issue to that is the first one makes the cash prize only available to the people in NA. This is unfortunate for some, but we really want to stress that this is not how these prizes will end up after multiple tournaments.

    We want to specifically have tournaments for players in the UK, and heck, even in Egypt because there are some great players looking for competition there. In addition to the classic NA players we already know compete in the game.

    But this takes time, we want to get people signed up and playing in the ESG winter series first and see how this structure is going to go. Let the NA players be the guinea pigs on the setup. Then let us grow these tournaments with larger prizes and bring in players from many other countries.

    In this aspect, we just ask for a little patience. We're taking steps here to ensure competition thrives, grows and becomes worth playing for the players that take it seriously. But we can't just throw the kitchen sink out the window on the first go around. Cash prizes for players outside the NA is definitely going to happen. It's only a matter of time.


    While I am here, I also want to just recognize (for those who may not know) the problems with WCG and CFS as far as the UK goes. Both of those tournaments are run without our affiliation. They are paid for by people who are not G4Box.

    The WCG tournament structure doesn't include the UK for whatever reason. I am not entirely sure why. But if there was some sort of support for the UK then I am sure there would be CF Support for it. WCG is not run in conjunction with G4Box, the tournament organizers for that are simply using our CrossFire servers because that is the country in which they are sending a team. We have nothing to do with the choices WCG makes.

    That being said, when we do know they will be using our servers so we take an active interest and help promote players, support people, broadcasters, prizes and more where we can.

    CFS is a similar situation we are told by Tencent, you can bring a team from NA. From this perspective I believe it's an organizational and cost thing. They have a certain structure and this is what they want to do. We don't have any say in it, but are certainly going to expend our energies looking for the best team.


    So hopefully that gives a quick insight into some stuff. We have not forgotten about UK players at all.

    Thanks for your reply Saidin, I realise that allowing UK players to play at CF EU may not be simple.
    And It's good that you are planning to create more tournaments in the UK servers, and this is good.

    However, you see the thing is, all of europe, they can create teams together. And all of NA can create teams together.

    So, I'm in a european team, but I can't compete for them and I can't compete for an NA team either. I just want to be able to play ESL with my team, my friends. It seems so unfair to be the only country left out in this.
    I know I'm not the only one in this situation, there are many british players signed up at ESL, but not allowed to compete.

    I hope something can be done in future.
    It might not be as simple as flicking a switch, but it's not impossible.

    shut up pubstar
  • You have´nt been here longer than me. And yes, everything I stated is true. In 2010, when your account were created, Me and my clan Simplicity did start it. You can ask any oldschool UK scene player like Iori, Suicide, Ramil, bigi etcetc. You dont need to go all hard over me cuz you got cut from my team you know. 1 year ago my computer broke down. I was gone for 6 months and came back with the servers being filled up with arabic people. This must have been the times you were talking about, ´´the pubstars´´. You should keep in mind that I was around scrimming on the servers before your account were even created, so take the drama down a notch romeo

    Excuse me spekk but you guys were not the first ones to use that server for scrims etc etc. Iori ramil bigi = all terrible and nothing else than pubstars. Suicide is ok but you guys did not create the scene at all. I am on Josh's side this time. There used to be way better so called oldschool uk scene players back then. From what I remember (and I did not play there a lot by then) simplicity got called pubstars by the actual teams even back then?

    You're a joke. Let me put this straight. My current account isn't my first account but let's not get into that. Secondly, none of the players you listed are old school UK players, none of them or you were around competing in the UK from 2009-2011 before the CF EU licensing happened. Maybe you were pubbing but you weren't in UK 3-8. Ever since the communities split up and people quit, I've been influencing people into playing there and now you're trying to take all the credit for it. Also, I never got "cut" from your team. I came back to CF after months out of boredom, played a few games (was playing embarrassingly bad on my other desk I do admit though), you saw me in a TD and decided to ask me to join your "team" I joined and barely played, came on every few days and then the team wasn't around any more.

    Chris knows what he's talking about, he did come into the community late as an average player but in comparison to all the people you named he's a god.

    Lmao, I like your lies, now here we go.

    You once said that you'd played this game for 10 years, when it was released in Korea 2007, 10 years right? You talk so big all the time, but all you do is run a broken PUG with corrupt admins that are incompetent to even do their job right.

    And Bigi is 13 years old, maybe 14, so yeah, ask him.

    No one cares what you've accomplished in this game, I mean, you even posted a video of you playing after a bunch of "hack accusations". Please stop being the big arrogant kid you are.

    Most of you Europeans (Not including UK) who are stuck in CFNA and playing on the UK servers are just based upon a ****ty community, just look at tyze for an example AKA chzynn, he was going to be responsible for the CFS youtube and upload a bunch of matches, but what happened? He got a bunch of subs, then he went inactive, and now he's back, taking advantage of the subs he earned and uploading **** clips.

    The SupremeUK community is a joke, only a few are actually competent enough to be fair and run a community, but the majority of the "admins" that you pick out, including Spekk are ******ed and undoubtly not suitable for the job.

    haha, 10 years of CF, are you dumb? I have played CS for ten years, yes. I have only been playing CF since 2009. And I dont care about your opinions about the supreme community, im not a moderator there so thats inappropiate to the post. You are ignoring the meaning of my post, and straight up hating on me. What I was trying to say is; The UK scene is big, and needs competition hosted by the admins of the game to survive, not players making cups. Thats not real competition. And

    Chris is known in E8 for being the one hosting headshot only rooms for people to warm up, not for a competetive player, so I really dont care about his opinion. I like him, but disrespect you after you called me a joke. My point of the post was that the UK server scene needs competition, so don't go after me on this. Not only that; I really dont care if you say you've been around longer than me, cuz I've played since day one and played scrims on uk server as since it started, and I dont remember seeing you around then. And, stop talking about you being better than me. You only came into the spotlight after you grouped up with Colombian, so dont even go there.

    That's when I came back to the game when Musti said come play NA with me. If you were actually around etc then prove it to me, name 10 oldschool competitive players from then, 4 good teams from then and two of the leagues we played back then. I highly doubt you'll know any of this. I clearly said at the start "no disrespect" but you decided to get mad (after lying) and trying to make me look bad.
  • You only came into the spotlight after you grouped up with Colombian, so dont even go there.

    I don't even know how am I related to this but I get what you mean, yes me and Josh played for a good 3 months as a team when he got back to compete, we played a few tournies together, he got known in the NA community but I mean this happened recently and has nothing to do with the UK scene
  • As long as NA and EU don't combine tournaments I support this.

    I said this because he said he is oldschool when he just got noticed recently

    Teams: Tera Gaming, n!facility, ENCE, Team EU, Lethal. I also remember Coregaming aka WinRAR scrimming there some.
    Cups: CGGC, THP, WOGL

    I did not lie with anything stated in my first post. I simply dont go that low. You called me a joke, so dont come here saying I tried to make you look bad. And dont say ''we played back then'' when no one knows you from those times. Arguement stopped, you got what you asked for. Now please, Romeo, try to step the drama down a notch, will you? :)
  • I said this because he said he is oldschool when he just got noticed recently

    I just got noticed by a bunch of pubstars recently, I agree. But, I've been in and out of the servers for years.

    You didn't name any of the good teams from back then, you simply named pub star bad teams from the last 6 months (not from 3-4 years ago) and one team from CF EU. You also didn't name any of the old school players, the only thing you got right was WOGL. The reason I call you a joke is because you're lying about everything, or you just have a really bad sense of time.

    All names stated above above is from the beginning of the UK Scene. The cups stated above did take place with UK Scene players competing in them, from 2010. Check the rosters of the cup if you do not believe me. And about me lying about everything; NO. Do some research about the facts I just gave you and you'll see that I am right. Now stop typing in the forums if its not on-topic and /w me ingame instead. This is dumb.

    More lies, and actually stating that you played for tera and n!faculty (Not facility), dem lies man, two German teams, that usually only accept players from Germany. And how can you say that you played in tera when the "team" you are in accepts anyone?

    http://www.esl.eu/eu/crossfire/team/6800703

    You registered on ESL last year in August, yet you claim to have been in n!faculty, you are nowhere on that player list. Even more lies!

    Please, and when did you play for Carbon? It says that you were in Carbon on your ESL profile, oh, maybe it's because you are good buddies with famous and he let you borrow his account, but damn, isn't that against Z8's rules?

    Too bad you're a liar.

    what exactly did NA have before wogl1?

    oh wait pubs/scrims/the odd pug

    what do you have now?

    pubs/scrims/the odd pug and lots of leagues/cups usually dominated by the same few players/teams


    lets face it this version of cf really lacks real competition.. how are our best teams meant to improve facing the same few teams all the time?



    (this isnt really part of the argument as it involves other games but its nice to know)
    on other games with competitive play the uk(and some other eu countries) are usually pushing higher levels of play than the na counterparts

    First of all, he was just listing teams at the time not saying he was in them.
    Second, Carbon did briefly have a UK team with Spekk and tyze in it.

    oh and we had tournaments since open beta. you must be new or something, or just now found your way out of alaska EM

    our best teams can improve even if they are only facing the same inferior teams over and over by practicing to their fullest

    unfortunately no team has that drive/desire, oh well
