Eurocup FIFA 07 1x1 it is the championship which collects all best online players from all countries of the World. In the organization and illumination(coverage) of a cup is engaged Miguel Angelo Dinis aka dr_jivagos (Portugal, Lisbon). Till some time he spent the endings of the Euro cup, since 18 on lan, to Portugal but since EA SPORTS have lost interest to sponsoring online and offline matches, the cup began to be spent completely on the Internet.
From Russia on a cup have been registered Pavjke, Vince, Armanius. But only Pavjke has passed a group stage. All Russia country with observed hearts of that as he has left group, has beaten in play-off several bestcontenders and has left in the ending. Final game took place since Monday on Tuesday on the channel #clanbase.fifa. For game has gathered about 150 fans among whom was and a lot of Russian-speaking. On the channel the real conversation of fans was fastened. Certainly fans pavjke was more than fans Wepepote. Commentator of game for the Russian-speaking population have given there is nobody Swiss. But on the first minutes of a match happens irreparable ... Paul receives a red card for some "kind of unluck red card bug". Yes, it was possible to win, but not on the Internet, and not at such opponent. Paul loses for the first match 2:5. In the second match the confident drawn game 3:3 and ... Loss in the ending 8:5.
Champion Clanbase Eurocup FIFA 07 1x1 rC-XFi|Wepep0te: I became the champion deservedly, it be simple success! I think, that at me very good level of game! And after the Ending at me very good mood! Despite of logs and that that sometimes game went jerky - I could break myself and win first place.
Silver prize-winner Pavjke: Well likely the majority from me waited for the first place. I could become only to the second: from for which I have lost for the reasons in the ending this small quantity(amount) of trainings, underestimation of the contender and removal(distance) in the first match on the first minute. Has certainly played the role and that that the ending was played on the Internet, know house conditions always weakens a little. To lose sometimes too it is useful. Always after that you do big to a conclusion, I hope to me it will go only on advantage. Yes, tournament was very useful to me. It is insulting, that íåáûëî LAN the endings. And so as a whole it is good preparation before WCG. After defeat in the ending, I have understood above what still it is possible to work and what mistakes(errors) need to be corrected. I promise ðåàáåëèòèðîâàòñÿ before the friends on more important tournaments.
The organizer of the Championship and the Main Judge dignitasJivago:
Swiss:Can You Introduce Yourself ?
dignitasJivago: My name is Miguel Angelo Dinis aka dr_jivagos, im 29 years and im from Portugal, Lisbon
Swiss:The Clanbase Cup - Whats it mean for fifa commynity in the world?
dignitasJivago: Well i think what Clanbase is supporting for fifa is to try to have the best 1on1 International Online Competition. We are making our best to have prizemoney and finals offline, hope we can have it next season.
Swiss:Can You say why its matches not be a lan on this season?
dignitasJivago: Clanbase Tryed to negociate with a sponsor (EA). In the begining all was going well but after some time EA drop out the interest, so we got no Sponsor. In Portugal all was beying handled by me, with a place for the final and with TV coverage, but without sponsor is impossible to pay the plain trip to the players...
Swiss:Ok ..what prizes in this cup will be gived to player who won 1st plase and second?
dignitasJivago: Not ready to ask that...
Swiss:And can You say win on Eurocup give a player some privelegies?
dignitasJivago: they get award in clanbase that is recorded in their nick from now on since it´s the biggest online competition website, it´s a big privilege to have gold medal over clanbase
Swiss: Do u think about make a world ranking fifa on clanbase?
dignitasJivago: Well Clanbase is mainly European. There are no asian or american players playing there so it´s very hard to make a world ranking...
Sierra Entertainment presents the Four-Continent 500,000$ CPL World Tour Kick Off in Verona, Italy
DALLAS, TX - April 23, 2007 – The Cyberathlete Professional League
(CPL), the pioneer and leader in professional video gaming
competitions, today announced a partnership with video game publisher
Sierra Entertainment as the title sponsor of the 2007 CPL World Tour,
which will debut in Verona, Italy on May 11-13, 2007.
The eight-month 2007 CPL Sierra Entertainment World Tour, boasting a
total competitive purse of 500,000$, includes stops in Italy, Sweden,
the United States, Australia and Brazil, and will culminate with a 300,000$ Grand Prize Final event currently planned for New York City.
The tour will feature two critically acclaimed titles from Sierra
Entertainment for the largely amateur and grassroots competitions,
shining a spotlight on the next generation of professional video games
sports stars.
The multi-million unit seller, F.E.A.R. ™ (First Encounter Assault Recon)
franchise, originally released in the fall of 2005, was heralded by PC
Gamer as the “Best Action Game of the Year” for its combination of
stylized first person action combat and supernatural suspense. The tour
will feature the Xbox 360™ multiplayer edition introduced last year,
giving players the opportunity to compete in paranormal frenetic
multiplayer action that has become the signature of F.E.A.R.
World in Conflict™, which launches later this year,
is the next-generation of action strategy games, with completely
destructible 3D battlefields, intense teambased multiplayer action and
a focus on fast, hard-hitting battles. Showcasing the Windows PC
version, the unbelievably authentic Cold War title can only be played
at the CPL World Tour.
“The CPL is proud once again to break new ground in e-sports by partnering with Sierra Entertainment and selecting both F.E.A.R. and World in Conflict
as our featured games for this year’s four-continent 500,000$ World
Tour,” said Angel Munoz, founder and president, CPL. “We are making a
long-term commitment to these exciting and highly competitive new games
and are working closely with Sierra to continue to raise the profile of
professional video gaming and to enable increasing numbers of gamers to
enter the professional ranks.”
“Through the CPL World Tour, gamers from around the world will push
their skills to the extreme, taking competitive gaming to a whole new
level,” said Ami Blaire, vice president, integrated marketing, Vivendi
Games. “We approach our business with the same level of enthusiasm and
focus as the CPL’s professional gamers, as we continually push the
innovation of our games to offer the best entertainment and value
possible. F.E.A.R. and our new original property World in Conflict exemplify this commitment. We’re excited to be able to give CPL competitors the exclusive opportunity to see and play World in Conflict before it goes to market.”
Additional dates and locations for 2007 CPL Sierra Entertainment World Tour events will be announced in early May.
