CFS2023

CFS (CrossFire Stars) is another international CrossFire tournament.

Unlike WEM, WCG, and WCA, CFS is a dedicated tournament for CrossFire. No other E-Sport games are played.

Details[]

The CFS competition is divided into 2 parts, called 'Group Stage' and 'Knockout Stage'.

  • Group Stage features participant teams battling in 4 groups (4 teams for each group) with a 'double elimination' system. This means the team who wins two games will automatically go to the Tournament Stage, while the team who has lost twice will be eliminated. In CFS 2014, there were only 14 teams, so group D consisted of only 2 teams. Since CFS 2015, there are only 3 groups so the team in 3rd place will be evaluated and 2 of them will be given wild cards to proceed to the Knockout stage.
  • Knockout Stage features 8 quarter-finalists who have passed the group stage. This stage uses the 'knock-out system' where the team who loses one match will be retired. Each match can be either best of 1, best of 3, or best of 5.


Maps[]

The CFS Tournament has its own S&D maps, which are available in all other CF versions but have been modified to spot CFS banners and advertisements:

  • Eagle Eye-CFS
  • Compound-CFS
  • Sub Base-CFS
  • Ankara-CFS
  • Port-CFS
  • Black Widow-CFS
  • Mexico-CFS

Because weapons stats vary from each CF servers, the CFS weapons are added not only to serve as players' signature tools but also to help them get used with the original "un-nerfed" weapons to compete in the CFS tournament properly.

Weapons in this set include:

  • Rifle: AK-47, M4A1, Steyr AUG A1, SG552
  • Sub Machine Gun: MP5, P90
  • Machine Gun: M60
  • Sniper: AWM
  • Shotgun: XM1014
  • Pistol: Colt M1911, Desert Eagle
  • Melee: Knife, BC-Axe
  • Throwable: Grenade, Flashbang, Smoke grenade.

There are also 5 "CFS Celebrate" weapons, limited edition, and not featured in the main tournament but still available in most CF servers as event prize or similar. These includes:

  • Grenade CFS Celebrate: Has a special explosion effect with CFS mark.
  • AK-12 CFS Celebrate (2015 & 2016): Non-CFS weapon.
  • 687 EDP CFS Celebrate (2015 & 2016): Non-CFS weapon.
  • PMR-30 CFS Celebrate (2016: Non-CFS Weapon.
  • FN Ballista CFS Celebrate (2016): Non-CFS Weapon.
  • Steyr TMP CFS Celebrate (2016): Non-CFS Weapon.

Media[]

Most matches are live-streamed on their homepage and twitch.tv and are later uploaded to their Youtube account. In Season 2, Will Chobra and "Little" Susie Kim (Who cast WCG matches) do English commentary for all CFS matches streamed on twitch.tv. Chobra returns to cast Season 3 matches on Channel A, but this time he is paired up with Wolf, a new male caster, while Little Susie is now paired up with Nick Tasteless (whom she's has cast with in the past) on Channel B. In the 2 final matches though, Chobra and Susie Kim have paired up again.

From Season 4 onward, Tencent is hosting CFS and thus the commentators are replaced with their staff. Streams will no longer available on Twitch.tv, as the matches are now streamed directly on YouTube (English channel), along with a non-commentary stream on Tencent's host, allowing various countries to re-stream it with localized commentary.

Trivia[]

  • CFS only allows the standard characters (SWAT, OMOH, and SAS) to use. No sprays, accessories, equipment are allowed, except for the C4 Kit and the Expand Grenade Slot.
  • AK-47 is the favorite weapon during the CFS competition due to its firepower, while the M4A1 follows close behind thanks to its lower recoil. Desert Eagle is the obvious secondary choice for all players as the Colt 1911 is too weak to be used.
    • With the release of Balance WS and wallbang capacity being buff on M4A1 in the tournament client, Colt 1911 is the favourite secondary compare to Desert Eagle and M4A1 is more viable to use compare to previous CFS versions.
  • There is only one golden round in each Season 1 and Season 2. In Season 1, the golden round took place in iG vs EP.Cherry match (Group A final match). In Season 2, the golden round took place in Pacific Wara vs HeHit match (Group D losers match).
  • Unlike the WEM/WCG/WCA weapon set, the CFS weapon set has the hosted year on it until Balance WS takes over.
  • In CFS 2014, all matches except the Finale were the best of one, whereas in Season 2 the 2 Semi-Final matches applied the best of three rules. This is presumably done to ease players' stress.
