Welcome to 2012 and Happy New Year from the Battlefield Division.

So what could have happened over the Christmas Break? Chilling out, taking time off and just enjoying the sun? Well the Team eXile5 Battlefield division has been going pretty much nonstop. We managed to come 4th in the Team Immunity Cup which is a magnificent result considering we rated as the underdogs and were able to knock out some of best teams in Australia.

In late December around Christmas the Gigabyte Asian Cup was held. The Tournament was an online competition based from Singapore which hosted the best selected teams from the Oceanic Region. We won our first game against the JEDI Ewoks and managed to make it through into the Top 8 in the whole of the Asia Pacific. Our next game was against the tournament favourites Bf.nut who are worldwide renowned for their battlefield competitiveness.

The eXile5 team practised hard and strategized the best known approaches but were unfortunately knocked out of the competition by Bf.nut. The game was a close match but the location advantage and Bf.nut’s superb performance put them over top. The team represented themselves and performed exceeding well in our first International competitive Battlefield tournament even in a period where players were already getting ready to depart on holidays with families and friends.

At this stage there is a possibility of the team attending the Sydney Gaming League as soon as a few formalities are sorted. This will give us the opportunity of standing upon the pedestal of one the biggest gaming events in Australia.

On top of this the team has been regularly working together on improving, changing and evolving to overcome any of the challenges the new year has to throw at us. Hope you enjoyed the New Year Update and make sure you check our Facebook page for results and team updates.
