CB OpenCup Swaps › ClanBase OpenCup 6v6

Nice read, also Anaconda is near my USA home in San Francisco and the surrounding Silicon Valley.

First you say that teams that reached play-offs last time should be back in Premier League, but why do you propose to put overRated to 2nd or 3rd? They reached play-offs last season and lost to suXus, the latter 3rd of the League.
I've no doubt they have become stronger in the past months and I think you could see that against snd of vae (dunnow what team it was) sunday.

So imo they should be left in Premier League.

Edit: And I don't think bangelijk desearves a Premier League spot, I would rather give it to the Portugeuse division of K1ck e-sports.

Well done. But violence have absolutly deserved to be in the Premier League. They are strong enough and won the 2nd Division last year.

And thanks for rating us to the Premier Division. According to the pracctice and cup-results I totally agree. But our problem is that we were out after the 1/8-final last year caused by many lu changes at this time.

Oh, I didn't know Zell had to do the groups alone. So I take my flame back. :D

total agree

i agree :)

good job nxm :)

I would really like to play 2nd div or premier with my clan interaction.
Last season in finals of 4th division (yeah missplaced 2 seasons in row) we have beaten cVs - they are in 2nd div. and we are in 3rd div...TBH thats sad :(

totally agree

Quote by zell

Groups are mostly based on ratings the clans gave themselves.

You shold never count on the rating that the clans themselves do, but only use them as guidelines for the lower and more "unknown" clans; just a little tip :)

@ nxm totally agree

dont agree,
i like the old groups :D

instead of clans rating themselves, they should just ask clans what div they think they belong, or make clear guidelines on how to rate.

Buy our 2nd division spot, now only 200 euros!

nice idea

i cant remember one season where more than 50% of the clans where placed correct.

Maybe the first 2 oc's that i didnt play..

I think we will be just fine in second division, we don't practise enough for premier.

Originally posted at CB, few edits made:

If a team of new players with no skill and no experience would rate themselves 10/10 would you put them in premiere?

I guess you wouldn't...

While making groups you should base your choices on what you or a friend of yours knows about a team. This should provide you a list of teams which can play on a particular level. Then you should check the teams rating to create some even balanced teams.

As an example lets look at the OC 3on3 groups. Imo premiere group is very well balanced and you can't be sure who's going to win it. There might be a few surprises. But you know, an unexpected win o loss can make a cuo even more interesting.

3on3 premiere group C (TWK, Voodoo-gaming) also seems nicely balanced. You don't know whose going to finish first.

Now lets look in 6on6 groups.

Premiere league group A:

It seems that art or venue is going to win this group easily. After that we might have an interesting battle for the 2nd place. Yet if for example bSTURZ played there the competition would be breathtaking, cause we wouldn't know who finishes 1st and who 2nd.

The rest of the group doesn't play on a premiere level.

Premiere league group B:

The situation is similar to group A. Vigors is going to have a walk in the park for the 1st place. Other teams are playing way below their level which makes this group less interesting because we have a certain favourite.

Premiere league group C:

This group is rly nice. We might expected a few entertaining matches, especially FBI vs suXus.

Premiere league group D:

Even balanced, yet nowadays the clans playing in it represent a level below OC Premiere. The battle for playoffs is going to be hard, yet no clan from this group will achieve in them anything.

Premiere league group E:

overrated and vae are the favourites. However aGu and ESVKA may be a decent opponent. This group is one of the most interesting in Premiere.

Premiere league group F:

There might be a few interesting matches in this group, well done.

Premiere league group G:

Unknown clans playing on a unknown level. Exchanging the whole group (except shidima, who might surprise us) with clans like overdose and other mentioned playing in 2nd league will provide greater entertainment and a level more appropriate for premiere league.

Last but not least... Premiere league group H:

Voodoo gaming or silentium will finish first. dnb is going to be the easy bash i this group.

Summing up, bSTURZ should play in group A in order to provide hard fought battle for the 1st place. In group B 3 and smg (or at least one of these two) should be exchanged for teams 'put-by-mistake' in 2nd league. 1/2 teams should be exchanged in group D for someone who might show a good level in the playoffs. Group G seems to be below the level regarded as 'OC premiere'.

I hope this comment will prove useful either in making some changes to the groups made or it'll be taken into account in the future.

If someone agrees, disagrees with my opinion or has a completely different point of view in this case please write it, cause speaking that the groups suck and not providing any alternative is a waste of time for the supervisors and for youselves.

violence walked over 2nd league, there were no oponents what so ever.
Your point of view about violence is surely wrong.

Yes my bad,

and clanbase should realy consider remaking the groups, its sad to see when premier league clans are looking pcw-s for mid skilled...

its nice to make groups by the guy who is not playing ET atm or playing in low skilled clan

were all set good :D

Imo if CB wants to have an entertaining cup they should ask people from different communities (especially from the ones which have many clans participating in CB ladders and cups) to help them with the groups.

Their knowledge would solve the problem of worse teams playin' in higher leagues, which is common nowadays.

Btw, the rating system is worthless. If a noob clan of which the ppl making groups have no knowlege of rates itself 10 they might get a spot in premiere, because their abilities are based only on their self-raiting, not on their true level or recent performances.

Agree with roYality, although they are not in their best shape atm, but they have stable lineup for now, and practising everyday alot, so yeah nice post NxM.

rated could easily be ec if they would care

nice job cbadmins (Y)

ye sure sublime should stay in 2nd, almost got in ec last year but we proved to be stronger after the ec was announced by beating murso, rewind, noll8 in officials, etc

but whatever, used to these crap decisions now :l

nice write up, we #adapted got put into the 4th league in Group F with cWg 4Fun and other low+ clans (no offense ofc <3) Thankfully I at least got a swap to the 3rd league

clanbase make this work :>

Oké.

we won from vagrants tonight so we should go to oc premier?

please. i agree with you but dont judge them with their "name" if i can say.

i love u ana <3

most pointless article ever, keep this "whine" to the clanbase website or at worst a forum thread.

GROUP F is my favourite OC/EC group

NxM

we did pretty well in 3o3 ( lost 3-5 vs dfx and was a rly close game in offi ofc ) can you add us to the "Second League to Premier League"

sais a guy that has never played us, or seen us play :)
stop saying luger is crap :)

nXm ARE YOU A GOD OR SOMETHING???? xD

SUKKEL!

dfect would like to be swapped to second leauge or first, but atleast not third while we raped enemies that are higher
Like, why should bangelijk be moved to premier leauge if we won them in the Benelux cup 4:0 ..

next time make 2 main supervisors so that when one is on holidays, there's still second

Voodoo gaming or silentium will finish first. dnb is going to be the easy bash i this group.

really like that sentence

Omg the Bijlmerboyz in 1st,, :< ins his fault

NxM, you've made a big mistake by telling the media that Rated is moved from the premier division fo the 6on6 OC season. If you check Clanbase it tells you that ain't true and that they're still in group E of premier.

Nevertheless, thanks alot for doing some coverage on the swaps.

not agree with violance+rated (med-high skill).

why did you take bangelijkdlkxjfku in premier (clan is dead).
plasa ?? lol wtf
rts wtf


nice knowledge nxm


die of aids plz

blablablabla

good job
