Since the usual news channels seem surprisingly quiet about this, here's an early heads up:
http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=5254

I'm sure crashtec/Auricom will be posting in the CoD4/CS forums about this sooner or later with more details. This is a huge milestone for the Asian FPS community.

Also, QuakeLive<3

Haha yes, will be posting soon.

This is definitely exciting for us and we are finalizing the prizes for the games.

More announcements will come soon

The Official Lowyat.net Forum Thread, for the Crossfire Intel Challenge 7: Malaysian Edition can be found here:

CIC7 M'sia!!! Im thinking this is definitely gonna be larger than Dreamhack M'sia =)

will there be a banlist to ban amateurs? banlist for pros are getting boring.

This is now unofficially officially the pre-press release discussion thread for CoD4.

I'm hearing down the pipeline that there's going to be group stages, so it's going to be a whole bunch of games at the start within a group, then the top of each goes to the knockout stage.

It's been what a lot of folks have been contemplating already, although never managed due to time/resource constraints. This way with your registration fee you are guaranteed at least X games in a competitive setting which is better for the community in the long run in terms of competitive experience, etc.

Despite the venue being a cafe rather than a site specifically set up for the event (i.e. WCG qualifiers, etc) I believe the coverage is going to be huge, as well. And of course, BlitZone is an amazing cyber cafe with very very few technical problems as of late. You guys should definitely go check the place out on a semi-regular basis all the way up to March to reduce the 'home ground/familiarity advantage' of the teams who are already based there. ;p

lol

tier seeding !

I'm trying to go to sleep but get the feeling that I won't till I get this off my chest. I didn't initially want to get directly involved anymore, but I doubt I can have a good conscience till I say some things that absolutely need to be said.

CIC7 in Netherlands has an interesting history up to this point. It's the first major EU LAN prominently featuring CoD4 since the entire i38 MW2 travesty (you can google that for more information). When it was announced, the EU community had a deadline. 10 teams to be registered by 1st Jan, or the event wouldn't take place.

Guess what? They surpassed that, despite the dismal state the community was in at the end of 2009. Not only that, they completely blew everyone's expectations out of the water, with 48 teams now signed up (and we're talking about 48 serious teams, not just lol lets go there and play teams)

As a result of that resurgence, we have new projects formed via the EU parties calling the shots - Vita Nova, which aims to standardize/globalize a ruleset for CoD4 and promote it to the multitude of gaming organizations, as the preliminary step to global competition. We have Enemy Down, an EU league that's supposed to solve a lot of the shitty problems with the current de-facto CoD4 league (Clanbase). We have new maps. We have talks of updates to the mod (questionable, but the fact that effort is being taken is highly motivational). We have talks of huge, recurring LANs throughout the entire year, making 2010 even brighter than 2008 was for CoD4, in Europe.

This all happened because a small bunch of people took the initiative to figure out how they were going to get to Enschende in March, digged out the registration fee, booked transport/housing/etc, and managed to overcome that 10 team deadline.

I know it's really short period of time, but it's really up to the Malaysian (and Asian) community to show that we're worthy of being considered peers for what they're doing over there. Sure, there aren't gaming orgs here, nor sponsorhip on a large scale, but if -some- people don't take that first step and make things happen, NOTHING will happen.

There are talks of in future a true world championship for CoD4. There are talks of holding recurring Malaysian and Asia regional LANs, with sponsors slowly being brought in to sweeten the pot. There are talks of actual widescale coverage and/or shoutcasting. There are talks of holding an Asian regional online league alongside tek-9's current European Enemy Down league. There are talks of integrating Malaysia (and Asia) into the Vita Nova project at the organizational and administrative level. There are talks of keeping Asia solidly in the loop when it comes to ruleset/maplist changes, along with us having a say in what happens in the future.

All this isn't going to come to pass if we have to cancel CIC7 Malaysia (which itself was already a miracle that we were given the go ahead) which isn't going to reflect well to the EU community, at all.

It's really now up to you guys' if you want to see this as a new start to something bigger for 2010 CoD4 and register early for once, or we can just forget it and devolve into asking everyone to spam facebook (....) for a completely f***ing meaningless fan count so that everyone can win Razer lanyards.

Malaysia has been one of the cores alongside Philippines and Singapore for spearheading the direction CoD4 in Asia takes. This is your challenge. How much do you want it?
