Having finished the group stage phase of the tournament, the next segment of the nationscup will begin. With potential cup winners Team NL coming second in their group after a forfeit loss to Chile, Latvia not making the playoffs despite a strong place in the previous nationscup, and France's exit from the cup, we've by no means been short of any surprises. We've also received an excellent spectacle from our non-European peers, Australia, Chile, Japan and USA who've all made the playoff stages, proving their place amongst the competitors of Europe.
For those of you who've missed anything gamestv and our dearest pedro have left nothing missing, providing heaps of coverage. Match reports can be found here, whilst ETTVoD is also available here. Results tables from the group phase can be found here.
After issues with France potentially having cheated, the responsibility to take further action against cheats was taken, and as a result of this, thanks to chaplja & quad, anti3 will soon be available for the remaining matches in the cup. Any questions about anti3 can be asked to chaplja in #crossfire.nc.
As for the playoffs, the eager amongst you will be glad to know that they'll be beginning very shortly, the first match week Monday 11th August to Sunday 17th August. A preview will be available very soon, including details such as which teams have been playing especially well, predictions, and previews of the upcoming games. Details about the cup can be read below:
Matchweeks:
1/8 Finals: 11th -17th August
1/4 Finals: 18th - 24th August
Semi Finals: 25th - 31st August
Grand Final & Consolation Final: 1st - 7th September
Map choices:
The map pool will remain the same (supply, bremen_b2, sp_delivery_te, sw_goldrush_te, radar) however each team will choose one map to play. Both teams will tell an admin before the game which map they have chosen, and then teams will be told their opponents map choice as the game is beginning. In the case of both teams choosing the same map, elimination will begin after the pertaining map is played once. No team may choose the same map in two consecutive matchweeks.
Wildcards & (Re)Scheduling:
There will be no use of wildcards allowed in the playoff phase. If two teams cannot agree on a date, the match will be forced to the Sunday evening of the matchweek.
Structure:
The tournament will be using single elimination.

linux client for anti3 available?
Racist.
Oh and by the way, good job.
I WILL LOVE TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU WILL SUCK WITH ANTI3 HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHAHA
btw, when will you give them the anti3 program, i suggest giving it to them 20 minutes before the match max.
p.s to Rhand - don't you think about replying ... leave me alone -,-
thats a fact, not flaming
taking me as an example: i didn't find the right clan to start with playing with European players and then I never had the will to go on
and true, they will rape us :D
its a bit different though in cod4 (i know cod4 isnt ET). afaik team malta lost 21-19 against poland last NC :o
Act like it you ignorant fuck.
Thats actually it.
I'll defend myself anyway, because I'm bored. I use programs that I prefer, and that do what I want them to do. mIRC simply does not do everything I want it to do, and takes much longer to use. Navigating windows in mIRC using the keyboard is fucking annoying, and since I don't really use my mouse when on the desktop it seems like a waste.
No my friend, complete and utterly wrong.

I just prefer irssi. I prefer the look, I prefer the super light footprint (putty uses <3mb ram), I prefer the features and the script engine (perl) is much more powerful than that of mIRC's.
Obviously it's not for everyone, most people are used to GUI's, but if someone attacks me for something ridiculous as my software choice I'm going to completely slaughter their argument.
Although seriously, you are just nitpciking, I don't use irssi solely because I save ram (may I remind you that not everybody has 2/4gb ram?) it's just an added bonus.
How is that not an advantage? Any reduction in memory footprint is a good thing.
"Paging is an important part of virtual memory implementation in most contemporary general-purpose operating systems, allowing them to use disk storage for data that does not fit into physical RAM."

B2 G1 - Japan vs Russia
C1 F2 - Germany vs USA nice match
D2 E1 - Australia vs Chile
E2 D1 - Hungary vs The Netherlands nice match
F1 C2 - Poland vs Malta
G2 B1 - Finland vs Sweden nice match

now we even have a better lineup and a better teamplay
This time you'll have 200 and they 150, we'll see how much of your teamwork will remain now you don't have an enormous ping advantage.

^_^
need to see brackets asap!!! please before 1st round
Belgium vs Switzerland ->
Japan vs Russia ->
Germany vs USA ->
Australia vs Chile ->
Hungary vs The Netherlands ->
Poland vs Malta ->
Finland vs Sweden ->
United Kingdom vs (Winner of Czech Republic/Austria) ->
edit: the only effort is toxic forcing people who haven't played ET from the last NC/even more to reinstall the game 30mins before match.
btw the people living in Malta are called Maltese
i love gambit so much
best regards
if you remember him,Yancho from MEPA also leader of Team-Malta was almost close to him since he really used the rules WORD BY WORD in order for Malta to get something out from a competition but at least he wasn't a lamer like him... at least Xo never opened a column against him :p
he really needs to grow up (to killerboy: sry mate but its the truth - dont kick me from team malta plz XD)
fail mate, epic fail :(
it should be :
D1 E2 - Hungary vs The Netherlands
hu vs nl and de vs us will be the _closed_ matches
1 Germany 12-0
2 Hungary 12-2
2 UK 12-2
4 Belgium 12-2 (1)
4 Finland 12-2 (1)
4 Poland 12-2 (1)
7 Chile 12-4 (1)
8 Russia 10-4 (1)
9 Czech 10-4
10 Japan 10-4 (1)
10 USA 10-4 (1)
12 Sweden 10-6 (1)
13 NL 8-0 (1) [1]
14 Malta 8-0 (2)
15 Switzerland 8-4
16 Australia 7-5
So paranthesis mean forfeit wins, brackets mean forfeit loss. I gave 4-0 for forfeit wins but if rounds won and loss are tied between teams, teams with no forfeit wins have the advantage.
Made this in 15 mins yet it takes Hentai 5 days to make his terrible random bracket. Good thing rounds won and loss aren't even considered. You're a fucking idiot hentai.
Guess it doesn't matter, you won't be in the cup for long however you said this :D
GL vs germany!
(Canada never scrimed once lolz)
make me smile even though i saw the USA flag
the problem is about the playoff announcement, too late
we need adult cupadmins next time
somehow I feel that if UK wins, they're going to magically end up playing against the worst teams that are left(japan/russia or australia/chile) in the next round
Sadly some teams (like The Netherlands) had group games left, and they used this advantage (unfairly)...
By the way don't worry, if UK wins their next opponent will be Finland/Sweden...
If this would not happen, actually the first opponent of The Netherlands would be Australia, and if the dutch guys would win that game, the Quarterfinal would be against the winner of Germany vs. USA. So, almost sure that in a "normal" situation one of the Quarterfinals would be Germany vs. The Netherlands.
Also I remember what happened in the last ClanBase NationsCups with The Netherlands:
- NationsCup XI
Quarterfinal
GER 4-0 NED
- NationsCup X
Quarterfinal
GER 4-0 NED
How interesting...
every player of every team participating in playoffs
authority? league organisators obviously
Also, the way Vader made those brackets are the correct way of doing it, But it is your cup lal.
GL
MADE MY DAY
THANK YOU VADAR
Poland gonna win !
expect a lot of hax movies after this match :P
THX anti3 .... might be usefull might be not
*self fanboing*
vs should be good if it's played on the western USA server.
Although seriously, you are just nitpciking, I don't use irssi solely because I save ram (may I remind you that not everybody has 2/4gb ram?) it's just an added bonus.
