Don't miss the chance to play alongside the best you can get.

Friday at 8:30, on Game One, meet the strategy masters who battle for the 5th Xfire Trophy.

The first semi-final game witnesses the frenchman knolz clash against Dackel, from Germany, who ranked third in the latest edition of the World Cyber Games.

As usual, the game will be available to international audience on Game One's website by next monday.

Command & Conquer fans, do not miss this opportunity to watch two of the best players in the World fight for the prize. Next week, Apollo, winner of the WCG, meets Metalon in the other semi-final game.

Here's a link to the C&C3 Xfire Trophy minisite where you can gather more informations about the players and read the transcript of the chat they all attended on September the 26th on Xfire.



Though our Trophy has nothing to be jealous of in terms of competition, we still need a sexy mascot... We'll borrow WCG's this time.

The Xfire Trophy looks more and more like a world class event these days...
To buckle up this new Xfire Trophy, we had emuLate join us as a last minute guest, straight from their victory at WCG.
After we've had the winner and bronze medalist of the C&C3 event attend our last edition, we'll see if the surprise winner of the Counter-Strike tournament can hold on to great expectations.
Of course, aAa and mushkin, who've had many opportunities to face emuLate in national competitions may find it quite stimulating to knock a fellow french team off its brand new throne.
And emuLate has a personal problem to settle here with Team aAa... Before they claimed World supremacy in Seattle, they still couldn't dispatch their fellows two months ago as they were unable to snatch the Xfire Trophy from aAa's hands in a breathtaking final game.
But do not count out hoorai, from Germany, who should be eager to perform in a hostile french speaking field.
Not as hostile but as french speaking, our mini-site will guide you if you want to join the events related to the Xfire Trophy competition.

We're back in business at full blogging speed now that the Xfire Trophy microsite is almost live to present the incoming event.

News is so fresh the website should be red hot when you get there.

And because we treat you with great care, we've added a nouvelle option to the wunderschön-trophy with french and german speaking microsites.

There's no reason to miss the opportunity to meet those 4 top Counter-Strike teams during the many events happening throughout the week.

Here's the long expected Counter-Strike Xfire Trophy microsite. Here's the the French version and the German one.

News about this event soon to come on this blog.

Awareness is a surpisingly useful tool.

As we celebrate the return of Counter-Strike in the Xfire Trophy competition next month, Apollo, the C&C3 Master, who attended the last edition, battled through and won the WCG this week-end ! The british young gun whose semi-final match versus Metalon will be aired on Game One on the 26th of october took home 12.000 $! To help you salivate, Dackel (who finished 3rd at this year's WCG) and Knolz will entertain us on the 19th in the other semi-final broadcast.



Those incoming Counter-Strike teams will have to prove pretty spectacular to compete... They'll be introduced to you very soon, but we can only hope for the same intense competition that aAa and emulate gave us last week.

To end today's entry, don't forget about the PES6 exhibition game between Smaingerrard and Nonomel. Friday at 8:30 on Game One.

A week has passed since the 3rd place match was aired on Game One. Tonight, at 8h30, it's time for the final match which will decide the winner of the fourth Xfire Trophy.

AaA meets emulate in this deciding game you'll have no excuse to miss since it will also be available soon on Game One's website.

Fresh news will come on the blog about the rest of the competition and a survey we're undertaking to improve Xfire events.

Stay wired.

Our beloved chatteox has just posted the transcripts of the chat that previewed today's Xfire trophy matches.

That will, we hope, provide those of you who couldn't attend the chat with some comfort. Especially the ones who suscribed and weren't invited until the last minute due to internal technical issues we had.

Feel free to complain in the comments here but also feel free to have a read at the transcript. You might find somebody actually asked the question you wanted an answer to ?

Thomas

To advertise once more for today's live chat with strategy masters from all over Europe.

Hurry up and suscribe to this event here and take a minute to browse through our guests resumes.

Get to meet Metalon, knolz, dignitas/Apollo and a-L|Dackel for an hour to ask them all about pro gaming and strategies.

Due to fatal internet connection difficulties, I've been unable to warn you all live of the airing of Xfire Trophy #4 first matches.

It happened yesterday on Game One, and you will be able to follow the course of the event every friday from now on.

Fortunately for those of you who missed those games on TV, you can still watch them there.

Stay tuned more than I managed to for more news on the Xfire Trophy...
