stop the mad at CB and blame fuckload of teams dropping out, over 1 in 8 teams dropped out, many teams got 2nd spot in group because of the drop outs so fuck off and to quote classic wisdom of certain : get normal face and muscles (quite ironic of me to use it but oh well)
33 teams out of 144 dropped out in OC 5on5. Go hunt them down and blame them instead of CB
Well all the teams get 'dropped out' after 2nd matchweek :P 2 noshows is most likely drop out :)))))) so yes lion knew this shit pretty well during the 2nd matchweek already
What business is this to you, non playing-suck up-polak-emo boy?
Sure, if we would've all read the rules all the way through we would've seen this point in there but who the hell would go through all of that text in there :/ And besides that, I think some teams were aiming for 2nd place in their group anyway because they thought that would be sufficient, since it always has been. I just don't like this, it makes the tournament less fun, even for the teams that got 1st in their group.
How is it the fault of the remaining teams that others drop out? They are getting punished for others that don't care enough about OC, which has always been a enjoyable cup for everyone. Actions like these certainly take part of that fun away, especially since most of us were completely unaware that this would happen.
And go read out the rules please, just way too much text. It could've been easily stated in a newspost before all this madness.
you see only the guys complaining which were on the 2nd place of their group, the rest didn't posted a comment yet and thats why it seems that everyone is complaining but that are only the sad faces which are in the playoffs :S
well this is to be expected ofcourse, but I see some other people commenting about it as well, even some players from EC afaik :) and all the teams in first place are like: HAHA
yes maybe it's sad, but when it really stand in the rules you can't complain about it. just give a feedback to the admins that it's not ok, good or cool to pass only one team into playoffs, so that they can maybe change it for the next seasen or just mark it more so that everyone knows that only 1 team comes through. but calling it clownbase or insult the admins isn't fair if it stand so in the rules ^^
matter of opinion, its kinda bullshit to make playoffs with only 4 teams, round robin with grand final would be much better with only 1 team proceeding from each group...
anyway, in only 4 groups out of 34, 2 teams dropped out so the first two teams will pass the group `without problems` . Also I guess that almost every team left cup due to losing the first match, so I would just leave this score and add 2 next as 0-4 (without kicking them from cup) and let two teams play in next stage.
Too late to fix the structure and rules, and complain about it. I think this was the first time for me playing with 4-clan-groups since I havent seen 1-clan-continuation earlier.
But now afterwards it is kinda idiotic, for starters to play with only 4 clans at group-stage, since there has always been so many drop-outs. And now afterwards when this was announced... I have been admining and imo kinda learned in what comes with the rules, but havent noticed this earlier.
Not because of the pocals (tihihii, already got one), but because of "ooh, OC again, nais!"-feeling, then playing two wars after scheduling and praccing, one forfeit and pff, thats it...
Yeah it might be the rules, but its still ridiculous. He could have just added a few clans from 2nd to Premier, 3rd to 2nd and so on and just cancel the last league for teams for us example. People kept saying that we wont even win a single match but it would have been more fun to play 4 matches and lose them rather than winning 2 out of 3 and still not advancing. (lost the third match with seconds and with using 2 backups since we were certain that we are already in the playoffs)
And this rule is plain stupid since I for example know a number of clans that will boycot CB and since ESL is not interested in ET anymore that simply means folding. Which is a shame and is the last thing the ET scene needs at the moment with BRINK coming out and summer incoming making the game even less active. Good job killing the ET scene with a single stupid decision while others have been putting their valuable time and resources in it to save it, nothing else.

GO EPIC
Gonna be good (if we find a rifle ofc)
gl with that
it's just sad :<
5v5 OC Fall 2010 - there were 140 teams and 49 dropped out its 35%, this season its `only` 22% , so YOU MAD?
now we had 6 leagues, 4 clans per group
But now afterwards it is kinda idiotic, for starters to play with only 4 clans at group-stage, since there has always been so many drop-outs. And now afterwards when this was announced... I have been admining and imo kinda learned in what comes with the rules, but havent noticed this earlier.
