1st EC since a long time

without me. I don't need to browse all these irc channels, I don't need to check lineups, scores. I don't manage any clan actively (still <3 Sleeperz tho!). At last but not least, there won't be 7th edition of #evu.cup hosted by myself (Slovakia filuS, I still owe you a reply to you, I damn remember :D!). But since I'm ill (since 2 weeks already, taking another antibiotics, shit stuff :2) and I'm not moving away till next week, I got some time to waste lol. Therefore, I checked EuroCup signups and I thought how would the qualifiers might look like if I had stayed. Well, let's go:

Direct invites:
  • United Kingdom The Last Resort
  • United Kingdom Dignitas
  • Europe Most Valuable Players
  • Belgium belgian Fraternity


First 3 choices should not surprise. Top3 last EC, potentially candidates for top3 now. Last choice was hard (I'd do #evu.cup to find out who to give it), but for now I would decide on bF because of their results in 2010 and because I think Rage that placed 4th lost some power by picking frozz and fryzer.

Qualifiers:
  • Denmark Rage - Finland TurboApinat
    Germany energy wave - Germany rockit


rockit is playing actively last days - that's a very good move made by newly formed team. Their lineup and recent results are enough to receive an EC qualifier but if you guys hope to get a better seed @ qualis, you need to beat more demanding opponents. EC quali to tA as well because of 4th place in last OC Prem and #1 spot in CB ladder
  • Denmark Nordic eSport - Estonia squad.ee
    Czech Republic inteRaction - Europe i don't know


3 out of 4 here are unquestionable. Some say that nordic should get a direct cause of winning OC Premier and their recent results. I just like to remind you that in the season they won OC, they screwed their chance to get an EC quali miserably losing their chance to inteRaction and fuzion. The pressure of playing EC quali is one of the highest possible. Last time they failed, this time they're stronger I believe. Also a spot to iR once again. I'm not 100% sure they deserve it but I don't see any better alternatives at the moment.
  • Finland codelust - Finland raab
    Netherlands OVERLOAd - Germany teamoxid


Codelust #3 of last OC Premier vs finnish powerhouse raab might be an interesting battle to find out which team is in better shape at the moment. teamoxid #2 last OC. I was wondering whether to give them a chance to meet (they didn't in OC playoffs) but I think FI vs FI could be more eye-catching.
  • Europe WinFakt! - Benelux Power Gaming
    United Kingdom colt45 - Netherlands target


In this season a returning to activity team will be Friends in Force as Power Gaming. Target as a last team with an EC quali - also I don't see a better option, besides I saw that they're somewhat active @ GTV with some quite good results (eg. beat iR).


Teams like Europe eurotrash gone wild should seriously start playing actively if they aspire to get a quali.

That's it, discuss.

Parent
razz sqzz toxic mind phyzic nuggan & will be playing as The Queens or something liek that
Parent
Seems like a nice lineup. I hope you guys will be praccin, see a potential winner then.
Parent
First gotta fight our way to EC & ycn as there was some problems with the owner of the accounts or so x(
Parent
Dont u think that the choise is obvious? Why wouldnt he swap? No reason to hate anything bout it.
Parent
What about overload?
Parent
nordic>power (proven with 2 offis!)
Parent
go to bed and relax
Quote by UNNAMED DUTCH PRO (3rd @ CC6)I don't care how badly I play, I'm not going to play qualifiers. Qualifiers are for teams like friends in force aka: shitters.
joop is giving so much shit to ppl rofl

Quote by UNNAMED BEST FOPS (3rd at some nations cup and you can't prove he didn't)lettu was such a disappointment at LAN, both in performance and his boring personality.
Parent

Parent
Quote...since 2 weeks already, taking another antibiotics...


iz good my friend
no good i mean, sorry !
Parent
nothing offensive but why should iR always getting quali?

they are not so good and should give quali to new teams example Europeeurotrash or someone else
iR is good and ACTIVE teams, I think active teams should get chance instead of random mix made just for EC
Parent
they are decent but nothing else and this would be like 4th quali for them?

just boring always to see iR in qualis and not passing :/
Parent
I always preferred active teams than newly formed ones. Besides, iR aren't that bad.
Parent
I dont see why u add raab there if u prefer active teams since they havent played single war after esl winter cup
Parent
Dignitas is not praccing so there's not been any notable opponent for us yet
Parent
turbot only clan who beated Nordic esports last OC :)))))) damn we are good
oh and CB ladder fight last week :-)))))
u will win foshoo
Parent
ok and erase??
nice man, u got yourself off from some useless job and u make a journal telling us about it. we dotn give a crap ur still dumb
WHERE IS Europe#erAse.et IN THIS?
5th @ Ec Estonia Squad should be higher seeded for sure.
Eurotrash is active, we are praccing 3 nights a week + a 4th night scheduled for possible officials.

Just wondering if we are required to actually play officials on lets say Clanbase before the admins will consider us a possibility.
I would really recommend you to play some officials with potential candidates to EC quali. You're newly formed team without some uber top names that were active beasts in latest days, so if you want to get a quali, you need to prove you're worth it. Take that advice from the guy that created last 3 qualis ;-)
Parent
good job i would have done quali's different like dont put winfakt and power against eachoter they both deserve to be in EC
I'd like to remind you that my qualis consist of 2 rounds - losers play each other and a winner gets in, so from that pairs, most likely PG and target would meet and PG would win (at least that's how I'd predict).
Parent
mmm yeah thrue my bad
Parent
as far as I recall losing game into qualis won't ruin your chances for EC, just give you lower seed for groupstage
Parent
looks like shit. i remember times when there was skill in EC but those days are sadly long gone.
thats thrue you got only few teams EC worthy compared to the old EC's
Parent
people alrdy said that in 2006

"omg et is dead, look @ new teams, omg skilldrop"

and now u are saying that teams from 2008 or smth were so skilled etc... :)
Parent
nah not that but there are still like 5 / 10 EC worthy teams but with skilldiference... in th old teams like you say 5 / 6 years ago almost every game in EC was though and exciting
Parent
5 yrs ago ?!
Parent
2009 was the only good year, other EC's have been and will always be terrible
Parent
if the fins would make a comeback it would be better allready
Parent
If you actually list the best 16, it's not that bad.
Parent
most likely the worst ever
Parent
Got no doubts about it but I prefer watching on a bright side ;)
Parent
couple of strong lineups, misses you guys. The amount of backstabbing, mix teams with most of the lineup being in 5 different clans in the past 2 weeks is ridiculous :D
Parent
Some, but for this EC there is plenty of equally skilled clans for once, and also about 5 different teams that i can see reaching top-5 randomly, obviously dignitas will go as #1 but think they can be taken down
Parent
invite:
dignitas

Parent

Parent
can somebody post these clans lineups? its amazing how many new formed teams there are
TLR & Dignitas direct invite, let the rest play qualifiers, almost all teams have had significant line-up changes this season.
KRP ALWAYS RIGHT, EVERYBODY QUALIFIERS !!!!!
Parent
I am right, am I not?
Parent
made me lol :D
Parent
anybody give me some lineups? :))
i am le quit
actually Netherlandstarget deserves direct invite :P
Homer, prosty i oczywisty wniosek sie nasuwa. Zalatw sobie zwolnienia lekarskie tak do konca czerwca, wrocisz na scene a co miesiac i tak bedziesz dostawal 80% wynagrodzenia. See you :P
I'd give this 4th invite to someone else (maybe Winfakt, idk or squad.ee)
Squad.ee and WinFakt didn't make it to playoffs last time.
Parent
They have me now
Parent
:DD The fact how you checked 'recent comments' made me laugh :D And yeah, I do expect a better performance from your team.
Parent
Well yeah I F5'd and I saw WinFakt so I had to check it and I'd say we're in the top 3/4 teams active atm
Parent
ok so lets make new rule in EC: top4 clans of last season gets direct invites
Parent
Netherlands target deserves quali really
