C/P from mundus' article

h2k = zP equivalent, been there multiple seasons
BB = TLR/aMenti, been there multiple seasons
Impact = Impact, been there multiple seasons
FiF = FiF, were there last season
snb = snb, were there last season too
k1ck = FF, were there last season too

mamut still around too, just not playing the EC

What's changed so much about the level of the invited teams?

Though, if you're talking about the teams that got qualifiers, there's definitely been a drop there.

My gender says male bud!

but your body thinks otherwise! :D
Parent
im kidding :( chin up mate, it's a beautiful weather outside :d
Parent
last time you said "chin up" to someone you were gonna punch his face next
Parent
yeh im obviously talking bout the invites i would say 5-6 teams shouldnt have that invite, by the way there playing or what theyve achieved (not sure there is another 6 teams but i can honestly think of about 3 teams that deserve it more.)
Parent
erm...your comment makes no sense

and you might as well name names or you're not gonna be making a point
Parent
underscore,aow,royablood,negative-image,fatgames,turboapinat > out
Parent
Why? Name teams who should be there in place of them.
Parent
charsim should be

charism > turboapinat

charism > AoW

charism > underscore

charism > pinpals


hf
Parent

Parent
you dont get it mongol do you?
Parent
i guess u got owned
Parent

i wasnt owned :) but i dont have time to explain to a wall. you know i could give you 100 reasons and 100 arguments. but walls just dont hear
Parent
oh ok mr mature
Parent
What an owner this stownage is.
Parent
whats so funny ? just lets play again
Parent
Have charism beaten any of them in officials?
Parent
masculine fags beat h2k in offi, np
Parent
MM were in my top 8 for the invites!
Parent
underscore > charism
Parent
:XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
funny, but probably we will see it :)
Parent
#evottajat > turboapinat

#evottajat > AoW

#evottajat > underscore

#evottajat > pinpals

#evottajat >>> charism
Parent
#evottajat raped charism in last OC, just to give an example
Parent
last oc. what was the lineup

this oc. what is the lineup

M.O.N.G.O.L

think befor you write
Parent
'just to give an example'

You suck so pls stfu already
Parent
dont reply to me anymore low
Parent
there are no others clans thats the point maybe he understand now why "such" clans are playing ec
Parent
rise&shine, omnia, izi-bash, invitium
Parent
Have any of these teams got official results to support their supposed skill? If not, have their individuals got experience or achievements behind them to suggest they can get results?
Parent
izi bash been performing well for a while now, same lineup for ages.

invitium stable team who has been performing rly well in permier and getting some suprising results.

rise&shine a new team but they been playing well in praccs i think they would perfom better than the teams i mentioned (+ they have rat)

omnia portuguese team who have beat half or more of the teams i mentioned.
Parent
hahah well if ure gonna take in rise&shine, then you could aswell take oc 2nd div teams ^^ no offence to them but velerion aka rise&shien is shit.
Parent
2 different teams you fucking idiot
Parent
hahahha i just noticed :D :D i stand corrected
Parent
oh without forgetting valerion, who are new yeh but have a quite decent lineup, personally think better than most teams i mentioned
Parent
who's valerion? or did you mean velerion?

if you meant velerion, then NO.
Parent
hater!
we've played two ec-qualifier teams so far and beaten both of them (in the first two days of praccing!) nP
Parent
wow youre so good :S
Parent
maybe one day we will be as good as bmg ;(
Parent
oh and also charism is together since 2007 . very stable team
Parent
well they have 2 new guys since Fin players are not in lu
Parent
ye m1ke and b1bub4bu

but b1bub4bu was in lineup befor when the fins were still in charism. like i dunno 1 year ago almost
Parent
well Janus and Porky have been in charism when it was random-gaming :X so plz su if u dont know what u talk..
Parent
dude retarded i am b1bub4bu. i was also in random gaming. fucking mongol lol :XD
Parent
biger tard is speaking :D
Parent
invitium invite? hahahaha :DD
Parent
Underscore and Negative Image surely belong to EC. Though, I'm not sure about Negative Image's line-up.
Parent
underscore belong to ec? your having a laugh? the only player that can even think of playing ec is nonix
Parent
Well, I'm not sure about their line-up. However, if it's even close to the same it was used to be, then yes.
Parent
It doesn't matter, if you can't name better teams then you have to assume there's nobody better. As long as the best teams available are there who cares..
Parent
thats the thing, they're not the best teams.
Parent
yea but k1ck != FF they have R0SS and ati in the team, can't say it's FF X-Fi, but anyways he was talking about qualis not invites
Parent
FiFg werent in the last season
Parent
I think you shouldn't sit on the street, you might get hemorrhoids.
its true!
Parent
im telling cuttyP your being mean to me.
Parent
awwww I'm not mean, I am helping you mate.
Parent
yea, hilarious lowskills

it will never be the same as 2003, when it all was oldschool and stuffs
2006 was the best :P
Parent
idd there are some protugeues thats pritty funny!
yeh, i personally dont think theer good enough, netiher is AoW
Parent
we will see who will pass the Qualis :-)
Parent
rofl rofl what an ego. you guys fucking sux and aren't even skilled enough for OC premier.

fucking ego mongols
Parent
ofc dont reply to me anymore. 2low
Parent
OH MY GOD CARE MORE ABOUT PRAC GAMES
Parent
OH MY GOD CARE MORE ABOUT PRAC GAMES
Parent
they just dont get that they are low
Parent
dont you see.. everyone's med+ over here
Parent
What makes this season less skilled? Which big names are not playing this year? :p

Giving new teams a shot doesn't mean the EC would be the lowest ever. Remember, we've had mmf in EC too!
because they played against 6s (which btw is royalblood another team that has an invite)
Parent
Yes but 6th sense was better - they just fucked up the qualifier.
Parent
well theres only a different player, setup instead of d0g
Parent
Same thing every time, few top players have gone (not even sure?), new guys have arrived, pointless to argue about this.
Are you talking about invites or qualifiers ? Separate these two things.
Then I agree, they sucks badly !
Parent
What's up with mamut?
They want to focus on ET Masters & CC6 as far as I know.
Parent
They want to win money basically, so they're focusing on ETM & CC6 where they get rewards for achievement.
Parent
they are folding after lan anyways and they'll make last thing for them that's only thing that motivates them to play atm too : |
Parent
Take a look for that EC where MMF, Esuba and EVSKA got in, worst EC ever so far. Final was OVERTARDs vs pro5
I forgot about that EC actually. That season was dire :D
Parent
all because i didn't play and you were winning money at et:qw. and still team-kamz didn't get ec :(
Parent
lets hope jakazc wont make few of them get kicked :]]
doesnt matter which shit teams get a quali, at the end the better will proceed
well it does matter if teams that get an invite are weaker than teams that dont even get mentioned.
Parent
ur english is so bad

the 6 invites are the best simple.

as for the qualifiers, some teams might not deserve to be there, but those are the weaker teams which wont even qualify anyways, so the other team to come in would lose the qualifier anyways

bye
Parent
sorry that i cant be arsed to spell mr-imamazingateverything.

in your logic we might aswell only have 6 teams in ec considering there the only ones that can come close to winning it.
Parent
the 6 invites are the best simple.

8bits.
Parent
a) learn to make a gif
b) image: atoon8bits
Parent
grats, and now gl @ oc meight !
anyway, just stop whining 24/7, won't help anyway :-) (eventhough you might deserve a spot, cause of the ex-cb rules, but still, don't spam it all day long)
Parent
true :) gl anyway. imo you deserved direct invite if there were 8 teams like normally there is.
Parent
cheers, but i understand what you mean (the dissapointment to not get the direct invite), it's just .. "sad" to read it all day if there is any EC journal posted :P
Parent
Indeed, but it's normal that cb creates this sort of whine xD
Parent
they are doing great atm, especially with NC ! :XD
Parent
I liked the screenshots of the stats more when I had most dmg and stuffz! :(
Parent
Dat zijn de betere grappen!:D
Parent
regardless whether they have been done right or not, in the end, as long as they dont massive screw up the poules in the qualifiers, the better teams will still play EC, just a few spots for debate which probably wouldnt make a difference anyways
Parent
there isn't much better teams to replace the ones atm how sad it is : /
Parent
rise&shine, omnia, izi-bash, invitium, valerion
Parent
still same shit : )))))))))
Parent
I heard our recently near-to-perfection fixed mobile mg tactics raged TAG a few days ago?!?
Parent
dunno, wasn't there, but u must be proud of your mg tactics.
Parent
Yes, we are.
Parent
Weakest ? maybe the strongest, if all 2006 team would play against these 2009 teams in pairs i think it would be 12-6 or somethng (dunno how many teams play ec, cba to check)

Watch some oldschool demo and you will laugh
dont rly get the point your trying to make? =/

your saying if 2006 teams played the 2009 teams, 2006 wouldnt stand a chance?
Parent
example: parodia vs BB, BB would win
Parent
haha yes true, I saw a match from uh I think it was helix. Just because of Ramin's movements I was just going to laugh and he was kinda the best in their whole team. His gameplay and movements and aim were just so noob:D ( it was 2006 I think )
Parent
No. I'd bet a million dollars on parodia. Mystic, raveneye, saintt etc vs david, clown, maus etc. No offence, but my money is on the Fins.
Parent
mystic's aim not better than Clown's aim :))
Parent
Tbh, some of the skill of the quali teams are quite low compared to what you expect, still i reckon most of the actual qualifiers will be good games. Not likely a quali teams going to win it anyway, so aslong as the games are good to watch, doesnt really matter. As for the invite teams, theyre as good as ever (better than sometimes, worse than others)
ye it's like toxic says doesn't rlly matter that there are maybe some weak teams in it at the end the strong teams will go to ec.

Btw: i think also r&s should get a ec quali
half of the qualis are in oc anyway / or fold but thats not have anything to do with EC skill. And its always been about 8 good teams in EC/and only few at the really top, this season it looks like there wud be more competition overally), others have been just utter crap
Why are you always whining? :/
I think EC comes more skilled year after year not other way around

do u really think that some "pro" clan years ago on their skill level of that time could even compete in EC today?
if they had kept active i dont see why not.
Parent
That's the point, they probably would. But if they would play on the level they were then, they would fit in OC premi max. So how can u say that ECs would be less skilled than they used to although it's actually the opposite?
Parent
if the top teams back then would of kept active why wouldnt they be on top of the game aswell?
Parent
read again pls
Parent
you have brains! :D totally agree with you!
Parent
makes sense, but the counter argument arises which is every extra year the game comes out do the teams get more "skilled" or resort to doing more lame shit to try and win (riflescripts - hi wiaderko, etc) face it, the longer a game is out, the strategies all become the same and the competition gets stale in terms of uniqueness and variety - regardless of "who can play better in the finals"
Parent
Yeah, nowadays everybody uses the same tactics on pretty much every map. Someone earlier said that BB would beat parodia nowadays, but thats only because parodia is the one who made the standard supply tactic BB would use now.

Oasis has been out of competition for almost 2 years because u96d found a way to defend it so effectively other teams could only copy it.
Parent
tactics maybe don't evolve that much anymore, but individually ppl come more and more skilled. There are nowadays a lot guys that can aim constantly with 45+ acc if they wanted where as in mystic's times there were none
Parent
yea because they've all been playing so long that they don't even have to think to play, it's just thoughtless, there's nothing fresh about it -> I don't know how it is in europe, but at least in NA our top players if they dominate a scene for a season or two they usually end up leaving to find another game
Parent
there will always come new teams, every ec the same teams and the same players is also boring right?

Maybe it is the weakest EC can't remember all EC's but I remember also 1 with mmf :D so that was quite low EC to:p
np we'll crick it up a notch !
you got a hard game =/
Parent
i know, but so be it :O)

+ mamut :(

would do fine in playoffs
Masculine_mans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best 6 should have been:

mamut, impact, k1ck, buttonbashers, h2k, snb but mamut is not in and I still think that atoon/rY should have got the last invite over 8bits FiF, regardless of their stability.

The qualifier teams are indeed weaker, would have preferred to see some more stable teams like charism, personality and infernal, maybe. But one thing CB has done well with qualifiers is they have put the worse teams against the better teams, which is fair.

For example;
- asd (new team, don't deserve ec) vs TAG (ec worthy)
- cortana (ec worthy) vs pinpals (oc premier)
- desire (maybe) vs gZcon (ec worthy)
- AoW (maybe) vs idk (ec worthy)
- masculine (ec worthy) vs tA (oc premier)
- negative image (ec worthy) vs nsens (oc premier), etc

Remember there are 16 teams in EC, not only 4-5. H2K, BB, Impact, k1ck, SNB, IDK, 8bits FiF, TAG, cortana, gZcon, masculine mans and negative image, you have to say these 12 teams are ec worthy then you can debate the next four imo, which should have been mouK, mamut, etc :P
