The first matchweek of the current CB ET:QW Opencup has just started and we will see a lot of matches tonight on Area22 and Volcano, especially some interesting games in the premier League.

Spain warning! has to proof their strenght against the french guys from CoRe without Winghaven, who left them to play with Europe cash please.

Barcelona lose at the weekend so Winghaven gets dropped to 2nd division! That will serve you right for not playing Eidur Gudjohnsen against Villareal!

As a member of Cash Please, uber seriouZ pro gaming, I can explain why we are playing 2nd division in CB OC 2007 :)

Our 6th member dav1d has broken his PC and is waiting for a new one, (Will take ~little over one week) so we will be playing our first CB matches with a stand-in. Also the best 2nd division teams goes to the main playoff, so we got nothing to loose by playing 2nd division really and we will have our main lineup ready for the real playoffs.

And we are planning to placing high in the playoffs, so its not a matter of Wing moving down a league (this cup is self seeding anyways, so leagues and groups are very random), only a matter of us playing it safe until our lineup is up and running 100%. (As any other smart team would do in our place)

Yeah playing people that have been playing the game as a clan since the clan beta in june or something without our main roster, sounds great! (when we have played for a week:D) But I agree, the people getting an advantage from the betas are truly the macho men of ETQW, using their knowledge from closed testing to win matches! How could it be more manly and fair?

I think your confusing stupid and man here, its not like we are not going to the playoffs and will do good there, but don&#8217;t see the reason to possibly put us in an position to under perform in the group stage.

Well if you will do good in the playoffs you would do good in premier league as well, and only a few clans in premier league have had the privilege of closed beta testing (dignitas, kompaniet are the only ones i can think of now). But gl hf!

true that only kompaniet, one2, dignitas and GROF played the closed beta together (if I remember right) - but need to take the open beta into account also, so you still got us playing together for a week and with members thats only played for a week in total vs teams that have been playing for 3-1 months more than us. Not saying that this is a big issue, it just means we have to play catch up the first weeks :)

Yeah I knew all the maps before release / pub betas, so I had an advantage there, but didnt play in any clan before now - so didnt have a chance to make strats + teamplay and there is a big diffrence. But missunderstand me right, dont think the clan beta was a bad idea.
