English football club Everton has signed an exclusive contract to use Football Manager 2009 as their scouting tool for new players. This is the first time such a deal is made.The vast database of the Football Manager-series is a leading entity in the genre since long. In the past, several talents emerged in 'FM' long before they became known in the real world. Premier-league playing club Everton is the very first to profesionally utilize FM for scouting purposes. The club from Liverpool is now able to look at 370.000 players and trainers from 20.000 clubs in more then 50 countries. The choice of Football Manager in stead of the usual scouting networks makes more sense than would appear at first. More than a thousand people have contributed to the immense database of FM, a far greater number than any scouting network in the world. These researchers add factual information about players, like date of birth, length, weight, and languages the players master. The database is special in another way as well. All players stored, are given a rating on several skills. This allows for a quick judgement of the player's strong and weak points. A potential rating is also added so users can get an indication what the chances are of a just discovered talent to become a world famous footballer. This is how Football Manager accomplished to correctly predict the breakthrough of players like Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Javier Saviola long before they became known internationally. ![]() Source: Tweakers.net |

This weekend two of our teams will be attending the LANparty named The Reality VII in Drachten, The Netherlands. These teams will be our Counterstrike: Source and Call of Duty 4 (trial) team!Lineup Counterstrike: Source: Rolf "Treyz" Tent Wesley "n#ga" Bongers Tom "lighting" Troisfontaine Mathieu "Heady" Breider Marnix "leipoesje" KlapwijkJust before the summer the old teamcaptain Arjan "teNt" Tent decided to quit gaming, his replacement was his brother, Rolf "Treyz" Tent. With this the team needed one more player to complete the lineup. The one who replaced one of the strongest players in the team is Marnix "leipoesje" Klapwijk who used to play for the Counterstrike 1.6 team but seemed to be a small natural in Counterstrike: Source. We hope to see some good result from the team! Lineup Call of Duty 4: Antwan "Antwan" Kradolfer Thom "verz" Berkhout Maik "vexzur" Gloudemans Kaj "Kajsk1ng" van Staalduinen Pascal "kadoek" van den ElzenThis is not the original lineup for the team as they are playing with two 'mixers', kajsk1ng and kadoek. We all know kajsk1ng from our old Call of Duty 4 team a few months back. This team is still in a trialperiod for KaoS, how will they play at LAN with this team? We'll find out soon! This post will be updated regulary with groupupdates and result of the LAN! So keep an eye on this post. We wish both teams the best of luck at the LAN, go get them boys!

And to kick it of is with our own players for FIFA08 and Guitar Hero 3. And as it will be a hell of a job to fill in ALL players and ALL groups and so, I will only post the group where the Dutch players are in!![]() Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock FIFA08 Age of Empires III: The Asian Dynasties Virtua Fighter 5 Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath halo 3 Project gotham Racing 4 Need for Speed: ProStreet StarCraft: Brood War Warcraft 3: The Frozen ThroneLateron we will also post interviews with Dutch players who are attending this event, so keep an eye on the frontpage!
