Clanbase closed the signups for the upcoming fall season last Sunday and with 112 teams expected to participate the future looks bright - at least on paper! The amount of teams is quite average so nothing to whine about but for me as old stager something other is missing.
By browsing thorugh the team list one can see teams like TAG, Speedlink, Queens, Cortana, bF, MouseControl, tMoe or tA and some fake (?) teams like ofcofcofc and 3er who marked an "only" for the EuroCup field but big clan names are missing.
Some years ago we had great EuroCup seasons with 141, Helix, Dignitas, zP!, uQ, Gods.inc and so on thus it is a bit unfortunate to just see three real organisations represented on the first view. But I know that one can`t judge the skilllevel just by comparing nowadays teamnames with the well known organisations from the past and additionally I am aware of the fact that most of the current Dignitas or Anexis players will compete wit TAG or Queens so we still have a lot of top notch players participating.
And there is another great chance to see some new names playing on the possible highest competition level this fall which later have to proof their skill on a "to be announced" lan event like mAus had to do on his first lan tournament after his great online performance. So we all (and mainly myself) have to accept that we can`t turn the clock back and that it is not possible to have an EuroCup with reload`s, mAus`s and some other clones only!
Barney Stinson once said " New is always better" - let us hope for an awesome fall season with as much as possible entertaining games and exciting moments on our old maps performed by known as well as not (yet) known players!

I'd rather follow this EC than the last 3/4 years cos they have basically been all the same finalists everytime.
Even more boring than Schumi winning F1 all the time, Barca winning CL and EPL all the time, Kamz trolling all the time and gnajda returning all the time?
New is better, let other new talent or players shine, they will rise up to the challenge, especially since there are top teams missing.
but i hope one can get my point
More or less I believe we should forget the past and focus on the present.
hf with 6o6 :S
its not news that the same faces dont compete on every season as people happen to have different periods in their lives
6on6 killed ET
gg
The game getting old , thats it, the "old" players have no time to play that game active and leave... and we all know that the game is not realy beginnerfriendly :-)
ofc the community was more active at the beginning (6on6 yes i know)of the game, but since we changed from 5on5 to 6on6 recently
Many teams stopped playing actively, while we were promised by those low+ nerds who voted 6on6 that winghaven n co would return. Utter bullshit if u ask me. Ive seen wingh playing and he only plays 3on3
No sign of others
the stars from nowadays arent winghaven and co ... its the same that in 2k6 wasnt stars like raziel & co.... its the way it goes.... watch @ forum the recruitment posts , players which are now legends searched med skilled teams :-)
people like kresti , stownage , bong , al1 and many others are the skilled players , teams like bf , iR and so on are good teams , times are over with e* , dsky , parodia or maybe idle... :-)
Thats "e-life" :D
Now its 6o6 and these so called old schoolers havent returned at all and this change to 6o6 will most definately influence the lan(s) that were going to be planned. :<
who would care if oldschoolers come back or not
but nice that you can make something so funny up, well done :D
