Esport Recap
As Wars proceeds to have tournaments and leagues hosted all over the web, we’ve been bringing you coverage of all the matches and esports updates as soon as they happen. Here is some of the major events from this month.

Clanbase 1on1 Open Cup
This month the Esport community was quite active and several tournaments have been played. At the beginning of this month the Clanbase 1on1 IA Open Cup started with the Group Stage. Right in the first match week we saw a incredible close and intense game between - Sharkfin and - freaky that was taken as the first MyCrysis.com Match of the Week. Special matches are supported by us with a more in detail coverage allowing other players to be part of the player emotions and game.

Free Trial Weekend
Then right after that the Crysis Wars Free Trial Weekend was held allowing players world wide to try out the game. While the ESL focused on a 2on2 Team Instant Action Quick Cup (MyCrysis Coverage: #1 #2) at that weekend, GameRigs.com organized together with Clanwars.cc a 4on4 Team Instant Action tournament allowing teams from all over the world to win several hardware prizes sponsored by GameRigs.com. Both cups could be finished in time and all winners have already received their prizes.

ESL 1on1 Open Cup
At the same time the ESL announced another 1on1 IA tournament that is supported by Razer with some great gamer hardware as prizes allowing the winners to continue playing on a high level equipped with the best that can be currently bought. 59 players have signed up for this tournament. While most of them are from Europe there are some American players that seem to enjoy taking part in the European Esport community. The tournament is currently making a good progress but there are still many rounds to be played before one player is able to win a prize.

Last but not least we have a good news for all australian players. CyberGamer has started a 4on4 Team Instant Action ladder allowing the Australian Crysis Wars community to enjoy a new experience while playing Crysis Wars on a competitive level.



Community Corner
This is the section where we pull together fun and interesting things that you guys have been working on or found all throughout the Crysis Universe. This month in the Community Update Corner we've got lots of cool things for you to have a look at.

Maximum Ownage
Community member SERSHANT has been busy in Crysis Wars, and displaying some major skill, so he decided to record some of his frags for all of us to see. Check out this great movie below.



Screenshot Giveaway!
To get some more screenshots into out image gallery, we've also decided to give people some incentive. For every 100th screenshot uploaded the person who uploads it will receive a T-shirt, and for those images with the funniest caption, the people will receive a Lanyard. So get some good screenshots and make sure that you get uploading them!

Carrying on from the competitions we've been running, and the new Spooky Scenery Contest, we've been noticing that the community screenshot contribution hasn't been as high as we think it should be, so to give you guys some added incentive we're going to be giving a t-shirt away to every 100th image posted in the Wars Community Screenshot Gallery.

As if that wasn't enough, we're also going to be giving away some random lanyards for those people who come up with the funniest caption to go along with their picture. So what more incentive do you need to show of some of those great screenshots you've been saving and dying to display?

Where to play?
If you're not sure of what server to join and need a place to play then go along to:
  • Name - Crytek Test Server
  • IP: Port - 212.6.249.100:64100
Here you'll be able to get some great shots going on, and also there is always a chance of some face time with some of the team around lunch.

This will be running until we hit 1000 screenshots in the gallery, so you've got plenty of time and a great chance of winning something for nothing. So why not have a go. Tell your friends and get them to jump in on the action as well.




How do i upload a screenshot?
All you need to do is go to the Media section of MyCrysis, then onto image gallery, select wars community screenshots section, and you'll see the insert file button. Click that, and the rest is really simple and straight forward. Click the image below to make it full size if you encounter any problems.



So most importantly, have some fun while you're getting these screenshots, and remember, the funniest caption to go along with the image also will get themselves a lanyard!
