more 2 week teams like cs3r! and wtf with dNan and overdose...?:o and where the fak is team who was 2nd @ SC!!!11111
how are you man?
come more often to xfire and stalk me, bitch
Also as I remember they got qualifier in the last season, too.
EDIT. They aren't worst team since I just noticed that there is some random team called cs3r
Btw...it doesn't matter, but overdose got that qualifier spot last season. It was a big surprise in the Hungarian scene, because Infinity was maybe better in that time. Anyways, overdose lost against n1ce.it in their qualifier, so the last EC was "Hungarianless"...
But still I doubt their ability to handle EC's skill level, even though I don't have anything against team itself, despite of that they aren't worst team in qualis.
Many teams signed up from Poland and France, and especially from Europe. As you see, the European combined teams took almost half of the slots.
- supply - grush
and grush owns!
battery... maybe, replace adler with it
oh and
21:06:06) (+[CB]Bartichello) The Invitations
(21:06:09) (+[CB]Bartichello)
(21:06:12) (+[CB]Bartichello) Clans are selected for EuroCup participation based on their stability
(21:06:15) (+[CB]Bartichello) (i.e. the ability to complete leagues)
(21:06:18) (+[CB]Bartichello) and their strength as proven by official match results
(21:06:21) (+[CB]Bartichello) (or the results of their players in other clans)
(21:06:24) (+[CB]Bartichello) Practice results are irrelevant.
(21:06:27) (+[CB]Bartichello) Unproven clans only have been considered if their players have completed competitions with top clans before.
incomplete > highbot.
Also I don't get this "direct invite for winning oc" thing... oc and ec are on different levels... re-play should still have to qualify ;_;
hell, you don't even insta-qualify for CL after you win CL! ;D
UEFA's current rule is that if the European Cup winners fail to finish in one of its national league's qualifying positions, it will take the place of the lowest placed team in its league.
anyways, i do think you deserved it, and would have even without the oc premier win.
Don't forget, there are many experienced player both in polar and highbot... also you would have deserved the invite too, I agree.
I just wrote they should have got invite, because they were there in the last season and the seasons before. But I don't really follow the actual teams and their results, and I don't know if Cortana had lineup changes or not. So, maybe I was wrong.
see cs3r?
good luck in future
more licking ass please

http://www.gamestv.org/event/5783-invitium_vs_highbot/ skilled Highbot with direct invite
btw, Highbot got completely different lineup and that was just summercup game when moreover not many ppl are playing nolife
gotta be kidding me
gl and hf re-paly<3 U CAN DO IT! ;P
:DDD
21:39 <[CB]Bartichello> i had 2 days to go trough rougly 40 clans
21:39 <[CB]Bartichello> and i worked late all week
21:39 <[CB]Bartichello> i know it sounds lame but i can't help it
1st cb ban slajdan because of hacks (he really did)
2nd cb unbans slajdan because of no proofs
3rd you signup for ec/oc with slajdan at lineup (as expected)
4th "<[CB]Bartichello> it's mainly because you had slajdan in yor lineup "
That makes no sense....
give him a break
I'm not whining about the invites in here, but this just sounds kinda contradictory to me
hell most of FF X-Fi was banned too. but they get direct invite. make a rule and stick too it.
slajdan was banned by you for a demo and then the ban got lifed. hense he should be considered not guilty.
that he gets punished for it along with the entire team is a gross insult to equality. dispo didnt announce their lineup until after the ban was lifted hence they cant be affected too the rule that banned X-Fi.
as it looks now this is NOT a competition for the best teams but for teams that the organizers personally like.
imo this is NOT how a EC should be run and I will not be following this event.
and for the record I agree with a lot of the comments that FiF should get a direct invite. they have shown a stable and active lineup for the past year and should be rewarded for it.
says enough
learn to read
What i can see our lineup is one of the strongest here.
alexL
LoTiX
crajsor
NuggaN
jONAS
sAvage
wizzel
nordan
newbje
slajdan
We can understand people dont want to play vs slajdan but thats not a problem we dont have to play with him if clanbase dont want that.
And why the hell did not we not even get a qualifier? , what i can see their are players in other clans that even got cought with PBSS and other stuff just few months ago.
Admin just reply to me here and tell me why, this is really shit.
Where's my name?

you do the math
and slajdan 2 avi ?
LoTiX
crajsor
NuggaN [+]
jONAS [+]
sAvage
wizzel [+]
nordan (dunno who he is)
newbje
slajdan [+]
fixed it for you.
wizzel even before the lan and during the lan it was already so ridiculous.
nuggan is the only guy whose background I know, too bad im the only one out of the players left in the scene.
yeah wizzel did not have same skill before lan, 1 reason i know is becuz wizzel moved to uniX 1 weeek before the lan, and played on a 15" tft. And at the lan he did some bad matches and some good matches like everybody else :>
alexl and co can take revenge at CC5 anyway, so nps!
Where's tA?
disposable instead of cs3r
swap Highbot with Incomplete
swap FF with Jacks
get a good EC
negative image- splitted up for 2-3 different teams
Qualifiers
• Authentic-Gaming versus re-play devilry 4 - 0
• dESIRE versus muse-gaming 4 - 0 cause its online, 3rd time they play against each other? i smell some hate
• Cortana versus Overdose-Gaming 2 - 4
• TAG versus cs3r 4 - 2
• S. N. Battalion versus Regulators 4 - 2
• 8Bits / FiF *Green* versus dNan 2 - 4
• Incomplete versus WE NEVER CHEAT 2 - 4
• roYality e-Sports versus jacks 0 - 4
true you dont have a clue ^^
But yeah, the invites are very good in my opinion, though I might be a bit biased because our team got directly invited..
and regulators and jacks? nice EC
or else we could have added naga and co.
no tnx
accurate, disposable are way better
1 cb banned player (overschie)
2 players playing with cs3r (dunZ & destiny)
after looking at acc and cs3r they practically have the same lineup
who plays for cs3r? dunz & destiny are ex-cdap members which was just renamed into cs3r
acc dont have any gnajda style players, you only judge who can play EC by amount of ex-cheaters and suspicious players and now we've got the worst invites ever, gratz
accurate are playing since this june and their lineup havent almost changed
whereas cs3r's lineup is changing every week
wtf is the whole idea with the different clans in different leagues?
Eurocup, premier league OC, secon league OC, etc etc
Jup:
The best clan plays the highest division. So what are you talking about when you say that less skilled teams should play the highest possible league?
if you played against them recently you'd know that they are praccing a lot and they are one of the best teams i can think of right now.
don't wanna comment on the other teams.
The majority of inTro played/playing NC/EC over several years, but who fucking cares? disposable without a qualifier? ...
CF should create an own EuroCup, because CB is a failure.
EDIT:
gL highbot <3
intro deserved a fucking quali at least !!!11
but srsly accurate should be in Quali!!!!!!!!!!!!
haters DIE!
only 1

Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let his team play because of slajdan
huh?
except for the spanish guys, they don't have anyone with a real history. about a year ago noone knew joke, 4live and whoever's in there.
so actually (because i don't know how good they are) the cb team seems to consider them a good team. killerboy, i do respect your work, but am wondering how especially YOU can defend a team like cs3r, knowing that most of those guys who come out of nowhere got to be some skilled plugin-users.
besides cs3r there are some other "talentz", who definitely won't show up at any lan. whatever, that's ET.
They are way better.
I DONT CARE!:D
dont even think about an invite loser :)
EDIT: Btw the team hasnt never ever achieved anything, I mean fucking anything, even Humm3l's raps are shit, omg CB's fanboy admins are amazing -_-
hi2u netcoders
A lot of polish people will whine but it's a good solution in my opionion.
And it's ridiculous to put 2-weeks mixes (I can't even call them clans) in qualifications ...
muse-gaming
Cortana
TAG
S. N. Battalion
8Bits / FiF *Green*
INCOMPLETE
jacks
Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let our team play because of slajdan
hm?
CB
CB!!
there were so many places to prove yourselves, may i ask why didn't you?
1daycup every week, previous oc (OH WAIT UR 2WEEKZ), cb ladder.
stop blaming cb, this time they've done a good job for sure, there were some problems in the previous seasons tho......
cu ^1TEAMMATE @ oc 2nd league =D
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-already could do that @ cc1234 and u didn't
-clan dies till cc5
-many lineup changes and new players can't go
-simply not enough money
-h4x
blabla................. learn mature behaviour and start playing together seriously (in another game, since this is one of the last chances of ET to stay alive) not just OMFGIT'SECLETZPALY
...jk :p
thing is like, this probably happens to me every day i go somewhere with a different girl, but i never actually talk to any of them, i'm afraid that they would refuse . all of them have done that in the past, when i actually asked.
i'd love to say i'm waiting for a girl who would come to me to ask me first, but that also happened already twice... unfortunately i didn't like them, simple refuse......... :(((
guess i'm just unlucky?
Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let our team play because of slajdan
hm?
Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let our team play because of slajdan
hm?
First you ban slajdan
Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let our team play because of slajdan
JACKS?WHO?gtfo with 6days ago made team....
(21:06:12) (+[CB]Bartichello) Clans are selected for EuroCup participation based on their stability
devliry should be in direct invite....they have stable lineup since 2006 maybe?
why the fuck isnt accurate in qualifers???
CB ADMINS DIE IN CAR FIRE
even if its fake, it suits you.
and no- no direct to delivry, way better would be to give direct to FiF Green- they're stable, 4th @ ESL and very active
ROFL
direct invites are missing fif, I wouldve given them an invite over FF or HB
qualis
polish quali is okey, tight game
french quali is okey, eventhough id have kept them in different par since they already, played each others last season, will be tight if muse plays few praccs atleast
cortana overdose is okey, should be easybash for cortana
tag cs3r, I wouldnt have personally invited cs3r although their lineup could give some suprises, overally the weakest quali out here
battalion regulators, i guess regulators pick is deserved as theres not much other contenders, izibsah battallion
fif, dnan, obviously the hardest quali here but fif should be able to take it. i would have swapped qualis like fif vs cs3r & tag vs dnan
inc wnc, could be anyones game, wnc have been stable for some time but they are lacking something, inc other hand has the skill but without praccs it wont do any good for them
ry jacks, ry could suprise here
what i am missing are teams like turboabinat and NR - replacing teams like regulators, overdose or cs3r but overally good job!
alexL
sAvage
wizzel
newbje
slajdan
nordaN
crajsor and the rest. They would fit perfectly in EC.
reminds me a rewind thing back in the days
hmm cant do anything now I guess, CB wont change anything anyway.
Get a lineup of: AlexL, Jonas, sAvage, wizzel, newbje and slajdan
and play CC5. Demonstrate us we were wrong performing like a top clan at lan.
alexL
savage
newbje
nordan
slajdan
wizzel
+ nuggan savage wizzel lotix crajsor have already been at lan !
Nobody is happy ( only the invited teams i think )
Thats what you get when you have low+ admins that never play highskilled teams and dont have a clue about whats going on there. No offence, i respect what you guys do and all the time and work you put in. But i think thats a factor. With an admin like Adacore or Mrozu they played pretty high level themself they knew alot better what to do with eurocup. You guys purely select on names and how they performed in the past. I see epic fail eurocup incomming again like the eurocup before.
We checked all the teams and mixed it up with our own list.... and you know the final result.
S. N. Battalion versus Regulators
:S:S:S
TAG vs Regulators
Snb vs cs3r
Would be much fairer cause 2 better teams will get through.
Btw. i got Ec qualli :P I am honorary :P
cortana <3
and fucked cb with cs3r
enjoy the ec
ill try to create the best for this ec..maybe you will adopt some of what contains here;
Clans directly invited:
* Vicious and Evil
* The Last Resort
* Belgian Dream Team 'Overload'
* Fear Factory X-Fi
* Friends in Force *Green* (even though highbot consists of known players that practiced in a lot of EC competitions and high lvl, they form it everytime few days before the new season starts and then fold, if you keep inviting them it will prove all other peoples it's possible to just play 1-2 times before EC, bad decision and example of administering)
* polar - pi
* re-play eSports
* team mamut.si
qualifications
# Accurate versus HighBot ( i highly didnt want to add accurate, not since i don't like them, but there enough nl teams, and on purpose made them play against highbot, they should prove they are worthy
# cortana versus Disposable(they deserve invite due to them been the only good swedish team currently, if slajdan is a problem you should have NOT banning him, if it is really necessary, don't allow them to play with slajdan, but not inviting them is a typical CB act)
# muse-gaming versus Overdose - Gaming
# jacks versus S. N. Battalion
# dESIRE versus Regulators
# Authentic-Gaming versus dNan
# Incomplete versus WE NEVER CHEAT
# roYality e-Sports versus jTAG.ET
Ive made a very very small change to some of the matchs
summary: you have made alright decisions, small mistakes here and there
Mappool: some wont agree with me, but bremen is a total shit, not fun to watch, annoying to play, I'd take it off immediately
feel free to flame!
you learned something today
all in all the invits/qualis are ok though, it will never happen that everyone agrees with the decisions.
Direct invite:
vae
TLR
Polar
re-play eSports
Overload
mamut
FF
8Bits - FiFg
Qualis:
Authentic - re-play devilry
dESIRE - muse
HIGHBOT - riZe
SNB - Regulators
dNan - TAG
Cortana - Jacks
Disposable - WNC
Incomplete- #tA.et
Time set on goldrush by re-play: 4:12. And you want to give them EC invite ?
I think we are +- same skill (we really had a bad day, that day and we played really shit on gold and other map), I think Highbot should be replaced by a clan like yours or us.
as I said, quali is a fair solution for both clans (but not a direct invite)
and im not from devilry :)
- adlernest
+ braundorf
skill > lotto please
maybe you are right, and delivery will turn into an even worse version of braundorf. I still think there will be some nice games played this EC :P
Seems like the only requirement to play EC these days is to have a PC and some good ol' hacks! Since when did skill not matter? Is this what ET has become?
The only one of the new teams I'd like to give a good luck is Regulators, nice name!!
what a pitty lol !
part of my job :)
Then you unban slajdan
Then you don't let the team play because of slajdan
hm?
overdose -> NR
overall not bad, good maplist aswell
indeed, very stable team!
I just hate when is someone shiting to his mouth :X
And even if it is guy who is not active for i dont know how long.. and he is able to write how he spend a lot of time with analyzing of teams :D
everyone complains about cs3r
