We also have some new trophies for this cup:

It's been some time since I've written a news post, so I thought with the recent goings on, I'd take this opportunity to announce the new changes.

I'll start with the website, as you can see, we've just added an advertisement to the bottom right of the site, which will hopefully go towards funding events that we hold here at EUGL.
There is now a new feature on the forums, which allows you to see how many posts you've made. And a few bugs have been ironed out with profiles, such as the avatar upload bug.

Staff news:

We have 3 new additions to the EUGL staff, 1 news writer and 2 forum admins, please make them feel welcome

Jeg - News Writer
Intel - Forum Admin
Ryn- - Forum Admin

Libra News:

This is coming along quite nicely and at a steady pace, It now officially supports the following games.

Counter-Strike 1.6
Counter-Strike: Source
Unreal Tournament 2004
Left 4 Dead

Apparently, it now also makes a really cool noise when you start a game, so that you know it's detected the game and is in working order.

We shall keep you posted on this and further updates through-out the site :]
