All in all this has been a success. Ideally i would have got the responses from the most noteable teams that were excluded from the top 10, i.e. Nulli and nOu! 2 teams that recently beat Impact.Gaming. Also Belgian Fraternity the team that placed 5th in the recent CiC7 and TAG.ET who finished 3rd in last seasons Eurocup.
As stated earlier I will be conducting this research again in 3 months time and hope that it will continue to be a success. I would like to thank everyone that was kind enough to respond to me in IRC and take their time to give their opinions and their statements. I hope this helps in away way shape or form for those teams looking to find the support that they need to attend AEF and more. I also hope that new and upcoming teams will strive to reach the Top 10 and that it is some kind of influence and achievement to teams.
If you think there should be anything added or edited then id appreciate a comment or a pm here or on IRC (/q R0SS). Id appreciate it if you didn’t flame this news post to shreds seeing as it took me a very long time to compile together. I apologise in advance for any spelling mistakes including player names where I haven’t put the right capital A or number in. If you are that annoyed by it I can always change it.
There are a few things that need to be added, 3 team reactions (Rockit, Colt45 and Speedlink) but I will add the statements when I receive them and then eventually delete this comment.
Congratulations to all of the teams that made it into the Top 10 and commiserations to those that didn’t. Hope to see all of the teams mentioned and a hell of a lot more at AEF and future tournaments.

although i think it should be done every 1 month for some reason, due to constant online and offline competitions, i think we have enough matches & comeptitions to rate the teams on :)
Great Job R0SS
I dont see any sense in asking people from all EC/EMS clans and then skipping their opinions (or haven't you asked all at all, hence the shortlist?).
I don't whine at ppl complaining about EC invites but I explain my choices.
stop apologizing
let the haters hate
u did a hell of a job
What has disliking them to do with rating them at top3? Exactly like drago said: "Overload features their always aim-heavy lineup with mAus and zeto, but I have no good words to spare for them since their cheating incident." Doesn't sound like fanboying, does it?
didnt know we were praccing.. we are stable tho thats correct :P
i think its understandable since your team played really bad in ec qualifiers. yes, i (for example) said ur team is only about maus etc on some article but u have improved a lot...maybe cheating again? xD just j/k :P
RTCW Open Cup Fall 2002 (Group C)
Nice job R0SS.
i loled that you actually wrote a nice comment
overload got the biggest potential, as they can start hacking again... fucking mongols should be banned till end of world[except mAus ofc hes cool]
btw i spotted two mistakes
one in kamz comment (flag=ee]) and the second in blades comment, again flag=ee]
rofl
except a lot of the teams people are picking here would even struggle to get top10 at lan... being "top10eu" in cod4 actually means something, being a top10 team in EuroCup ET means nothing. even when you're pretty much GUARANTEED to finish top3/in the prizepool you still won't get anywhere near the kind of sponsorship top10 cod4 teams get...
i really don't understand the need for this kind of "rating system", it's just delusion. honestly posting the results of CIC7 as the "top 10" et teams would be more accurate/useful, or wait for AEF
:PpPPPp
just watch rankings -,-
rockit vs sl next week
rockit might be better than 1stcav and f5, but in officials they aren't showing it that much, i heard they rage in pracs but not in offis
edit: haha, didnt read yours!
what u been smoking?
nothing much
toen wij nog active ware fh'den wij die altijd
bf is echt beter, die hadde gwn pech tege die da ali zen pa pc afpakte.
I explained in my "The Panellists' Views" how I see the scene at the moment.
why ? ESL is international, as well as Clanbase. You also don't write Clanbase (founded in the Netherlands) or Clanbase (for their owner GGL) It once again shows a wrong understanding of ESL :)
Alot of people have started these kind of "rankings" up in the past, they lare completed once or twice and then end.
And with it being a quaterly update, why is this called the May update? Surely it should be the March-May listing or 2010 Q1/Q2 update.
raither make a top 3 post then making a top 10 just to add the teams that only got in there cause there arnt't any proper teams playing
and on the side note change ''overload'' to ''mAus carrying some belgiums'' or maybe redo the ratings without maus in the lineup
mAus is part of their lineup, deal with it, although I'm not sure that you'll be able to since your IQ is below 20 most likely
someone needs to hate overload
mAus is good, but overload has great teamplay and some of their players are atleast as useful as him.
