More coming!
As you may have noticed the total prize money does not add up to the amount spread of the games. Next week Monday we will have a special announcement but we cannot give away too much details for now. Stay tuned!

Counter-Strike: Source (5on5): €3,000
Call of Duty: Black Ops (5on5): €2,500
Trackmania (Team mode): €2000
Quake Live (2on2 TDM): €1,000
Pro Evo Soccer (1on1): €750
FIFA (1on1): €750
no ET
As part of our ongoing aim to push eSports forwards in today's most most popular games, we have made some changes since last season. We have decided to change Quake Live from 4on4 to 2on2 TDM, Call of Duty 4 moves on to Call of Duty: Black Ops
No ET - a less than 1k euro prize pot which gets just as much attention as some other games there.
COD Black Ops? :DDDDDDD
Oh Well, guess EC, Lans and Full Tilt Poker Challenge is still good.
Several games from the previous season have not returned in the eighth season due to their activity in the ESL over the last season. If you don't see your favourite game in the list, then do what you can to make it more active on the ESL and it could be included next season.
This is what I said several times before...Mainly because I hoped to see more prize money for ET with bigger activity at ESL.ET. But if there is no (not enough) activity this is what comes consequently. The ET community should think about it once again. ClanBase cannot give you prize money tournaments, ESL can. But if the ESL heads think there are other games with more activity, what would you do? We have seen enough flames about ESL in the history. Are the next ones incoming or can we all work together? ESL does not give anything away for free. They put thousands of euro into ET and did not get enough back propably. Let's do another try or not? It is your decision if you want to have prize money tournaments or not...

Quote, Game of the year
Viewer Peak - over 700
Listener Peak - over 300
One of the most competitive EMS seasons to date. The lack of coverage from ESL admins was frankly their own fault, hell if i knew ESL wasnt going to run another EMS i would have done newsposts myself. You cant blame the ET community, ladders are dead in every game now, the only activity on ESL from ET is EMS. Hell, teams used to play with a 200 euro prize pot. If ESL are going to venture away from ET then its a massive loss for them.
The amount of hits they receive from crossfire and gtv must be beneficial by itself. The fact they are moving onto black ops shows that someone is making the wrong decisions.
With so many lans coming up, around the time of EMS finish, it would have been a perfect opportunity for them to allow the final to be played at a Lan (thats already organised)
that's why et was always part of the last seasons. good point...
"because they probably are so big they couldnt give a shit about the ET community."
same point. esl spending money into et and giving a shit about it? not really...
They just need to check what they get back from ET in terms of crossfire and GTV and realise its a benefit to have. Also look back at last season and see how competitive and active it was.
they are having a laugh...
no ET as well, is there going to be any premier competition for ET on ESL now?
Clown is still waiting for his PS3 fund i bet from EMS before last.
I dont believe it's that hard to just play an official in their ladder once a week/every two weeks.
it's sad that esl called it a day with us, but if we show them to become active in their ladder with their bad work to get another ems then they will do it again and again!
and 2ndly i prefer offline events :*
Though, being the none user friendly site that it actually is, I see why people would prefer scheduling a ladder match in CB. I do that myself. Anyhow, with the new ESL site coming up, hopefully it could get better :)
esl no more money for ET, old news
EC was always and will always be the better Top Team Cup in ET, you can reply with w/e you want kafux.
you can always sell it if you want (to make money out of it)
+ it takes 2 weeks not 1year to receive it
dont act like you're any better

:(
imagine you own a shop and you have 100 people who come in everyday guaranteed. or you can get a guaranteed amount of 200 people coming everyday if you take new products in and ship old ones out.
its why since business began to right now u constantly see new products in the shops. The more people u get to buy your products the more $$$ u get. Why keep old products that dont make you as much $$$ compared to if you were to switch to new products.
im reminded of a quote:
'its nothing personal, its just business' - The Godfather 1972
so PS1 games being sold are 'guaranteed' to be taken? i dont think so. Its why u dont see PS1 games being sold in shops anymore, only places like CEX and market stalls as people trade them in.
Its why u dont see 60s clothing in the 70s , 70s clothing in the 80s, 80th clothing in the 90s, etc. Its why u dont see 20 year old style trainers being sold in shops.
Everything u see and own today had to be brought into a shop to be sold. In order for mass amounts of new products to come in , the oldest products get shipped out.
10 years ago i could go to Game and buy any Sega/gameboy game i wanted. I cant walk into Game and buy a Sega/gameboy game now can i.
U misunderstood me when i said 'take old products out' u probably thought i ment take all old shit out. I ment take the oldest shit out as newer stuff comes in. Ofc u keep products in still
Youve had your first experiance with the world of business. I dont like the decision as much as the next guy but i understand how our economy and business system works. Im trying to help you understand :)
You are replacing it with products that have an elastic demand. Pro Evo Fifa etc are one year games. Its a stupid decision.
I hope u know what prize elasticity is because ET is definately not an inelastic product. Yes some organizations stay with ET who have an inelastic demand for ET. However many other organizations have an elastic demand for ET. Thus ET is elastic.
And inelastic product warrants the same demand wether the price increases or decreases. That doesnt mean because 50 people will always buy your product that means its inelastic. Everybody has to keep purchasing your product for it to be inelastic. You will see a huge fluctuation in the demand for ET if you give HUGE prize purses for it.
Everybody on this website who has been playing over the years has seen ETs demand become less and less every year.
this many never happen im just saying hypotheticaly. The result would be that less people on all levels would play this game.
ET is not as desirable as it was years ago. Now there are numerous more games to choose from, many offering higher prize purses due to haveing a higher amount of people willing to attend LANS and in general play the game. So more sponsers take teams in that game.
ET will never be as desirable as it was due to the opportunity cost getting higher over each year.
