A new ban on "Killer Games" in various towns in Germany has begun forcing many lan centers to cancel tournaments and events featuring violent video games, specifically Counter-Strike. The ban was enacted in an attempt to curb increased school violence in Germany, and enforcement of the ban falls to the discretion of individual local governments.
The new law has already led to the cancellation of several ESL Friday Night games, and more recently a Convention-X-Treme tournament. While the ban remains at a local government, many have begun speculating that a nation-wide ban could be in the works and passed by the federal government in the coming months. A similar law was enacted in Brazil last year, which led to the closing of several defiant lan centers. For more information on this story, checkout GotFrag's complete story.

Over the past week, many gamers have publicly spoken out against the recent Counter-Strike 1.6 update and the effects it has had on the competitive gaming world. The patch, which aimed to fix silent crouch hopping (aka Russian Walking Exploit in the release), has resulted in giving a jumping sound to any in-game jump movement. While this may seem like a minor change, in the world of competitive gaming, the effects have forced many players to drastically alter their game play. Even despite that many players had considered silent crouch hopping a bug that needed to be fixed, the unintended results of the patch have led many to demand a rollback patch from Valve to remedy the situation.
GotFrag recently took the opportunity to sit down with several professional players and managers to get their reactions to the update. Here's a snippet below from Alex Garfield, Team EG Owner/Manager, and for more player reactions, checkout the Complete Article Here.

TeamWarfare.com has a long history of support the Battlefield competitive community and Bad Company 2 will be no exception. This announcement is to let you all know that we plan on supporting this game fully and to inform you of what exactly we have planned for soon after release, and for near future competition.
Soon after release:
Conquest Tournament:
This will be standard Battlefield conquest format. The signups for the tournament will be opening on March 2, with the tournament kicking off within the first 2 weeks (Exact Date TBD). The number of slots for this tournament has yet to be decided, but it will likely be 64 teams. The team sizes will also be determined once the game has come out, as we are unaware if the standard 8v8 will suffice. We are looking at scheduling 2 matches per week so this first tourney doesn’t take too long to wrap up before the first season of league kicks off.
Conquest Ladder
This will be the standard BF Series Conquest Ladder. Rules, and such will be available shortly after release with the ladder opening within the first week. If you are unaware of the format, please refer to the BF2 Ladder Conquest ruleset, as it will give you a good idea of how it will run.
Conquest League
Again, rules will be similar to the BF2 Conquest ruleset. This is likely to be a six-week season. Followed by 3 week playoff series.
As for timing and dates we plan on opening league sign ups day of release for the conquest ladder. The exact rules, maps and match are to be decided on soon. We also plan on having league signups up as soon as the tournament is up and running. The league could start as early as 2-3 weeks after release depending on the activity and interest of the community.
RUSH Ladder
Being an entirely new format to the BF Series, we are going to delay this ladder for a little bit so we can fully understand how competition will work. We do plan on having competition in this format, and the admin staff will be working to have rules and structure in place as soon as possible.
Also being considered in the near future:
Rush League
Squad Rush Ladder & League
Squad Death match Ladders (If we can make the site backend support it)
Again, these are tentative plans based on what we know of the game so far. However our goal is to get you guys competing as soon as possible.
Since this is being put together for you, the players, naturally we are interested in hearing what you people would like to see from TWL. Please be specific and on topic.
We look forward to an exciting and competitive experience with you all!"
