With the recent announcement of the AEF website going live, what better time to introduce an Enemy Territory Top 10 Ranking System? The ranking system is based on panellists giving their view on what teams should be ranked in the Top 10 based on a shortlist I created. So I went about my business, starting early yesterday afternoon annoying 1 member from each team participating in EC and or ESL. I asked them to give me their opinion on what teams should make up the Top 10 based on lineup, achievements, current performances and potential. I also asked the same question to a few lucky members of the community. After they gave me their top 10, I asked them to give me a statement explaining some of their choices.
The idea was to give points to a team when they made the top 10. So, after each panellist had given me their top 10 i converted these rankings into points/scores. A team that was ranked 1st would receive 10 points, 2nd 9 points etc etc till the 10th ranked team, which would receive 1 point. The shortlist contained 17 teams who were chosen to try and break into the Top 10, at a time where many have called the current EC and ESL the lowest ever, there were a huge amount of variances, with some panellists telling me it was very difficult to rank 10 teams in order.
1 of the main reasons I decided to make a Top 10 for ET was looking at the interest teams receive in the Top 10 for COD4 and TF2, both from the community and from orgs looking to financially back some if not most of the teams that make it into the Top 10. Looking at our current teams, many do not have any kind of financial backing - illustrated in my column made the other day. I hope that those teams that made it into the Top 10, get some kind of recognition and can use it to persuade orgs/financial backers that their team is right.
This ranking system will be conducted quarterly (every 3 months)
So without further ado I give you the panellists, the teams, the Top 10 ranking and the reactions from those teams who made the Top 10.

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
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.
