TLR ET Ranking

News
Today the TLR crew is proud to announce its first edition of a monthly top ten ranking for Enemy Territory. As any competitive community has such a ranking available it was about time to bring such a feature in. Furthermore the competitive scene itself became active again troughout the last months as hot events such as the Crossfire Challenge 5, ClanBase EuroCup and NecroRaiser's highly prized ET Cup have been announced and are about to start. With top teams competing again the need for a rating and the motivation to actually do it, raised even more.
We have chosen a system in which a community expert panel consisting of 13 known characters within competitive ET finds a final top ten ranking rating the teams by current and potential strength. The expert panel members are taken from different parts of our scene to represent the opinion of the community as a whole.
The Ranking:
As there are quite a lot people questioning on how we got the final ranking here is the format we used for voting the top ten teams. Every single expert panel member gave his personal view on the current top teams by giving the teams points from 1-10.
As of yet the ranking will include the top ten teams of Europe. Expanding the ranking to 15 or 20 teams could be a possiblity for the future but is currently not realisable. Including non-European teams from Israel or the US could be discussed but did not matter so far, since there was no real global competition due to ping issues and missing LAN events like QuakeCon.
Every month the ranking will be refreshed with the opinions of all expert panel members; so there is the ability for every team to get into the ranking in case they aren't yet. The expert panel will of course be updated as well, as not all people keep being as active as they are now. The system we are using, gives us also the possibility to remove folded teams from the list without major problems, which was an issue that for example occured at ZoneRank.com where dead teams still earned money.
Finally I would like to thank TLR's very own rifle Lightning, who has been so kind to comment the teams. Furthermore I would like to thank TLR|pesteh for the graphical work. And finally a big thanks to the whole expert panel and all people involved.
nice effort (no irony! :<)
sorry your money is going into this project!

+ Mamut should be lower, FF should be higher as well as snb
€: sorry, just heard the rankings got made at the 12th of september :)
didn't know. still i doubt he (same with some others) knows how good teams like vital, devilry or mamut really play and can probably only judge them on the lineup.
Your opinion about me doesn't really bother me much (again, sadly for you), however I would just like to point out that I've never stopped playing W:ET. I'm just playing it less active than before.
So what's your point regarding the other three people in your list?
what? you still play ET? Never seen you play in the last 12 months, so either you are totally invactive or playing oc div 17
almost looks like you imply that's meez in the picture! i bet he wishes he was that handsome
oh, you should add meez's ASCII of you, FOR A COLLECTION OF EPICNESS
He had a lots of things do and even his profile says he quit.

right now TLR are the top, maybe FF can pull it out of the bag but, for now, they aren't better
personally I'm still indecisive, it's a lot of money just for one weekend
I just wish deadline was later so I could see how well we perform and decide based on that, eg, don't want to go and then get knocked out 6th-8th or something.
if u go will u take the plane to amsterdam?
Sense - your logic doesn't make any
:DDd
No he isn't! ;_;
Good work anyway, think FF should be above fatgames/vae though :\
++"they do have the best players in every class" :XD)
x'DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
priceless
=DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
...no?
ANyway, good work, you gotta start somewhere and this is a nice begin :)
there's still a bit variance in the top and cc5 will show who really are at the top. offline > online. and not actually referring to anything, but the lan is always the real "test". (even if the monitors still suck)
6. random
7. random2
random2: WTF BUT WE BEAT THEM MANY TIMES AND ALWAYS IN PRACCS
then you should say u dont need to take it too seriously :)
edit: modus at battalion ? lollie

awsome, expert panel looks awesome as well
..if you want real seedings, then get neutral people to do it..
shoutcasters, ettv casters.. just no players or people related to top10 teams.
and no killerboy (requested on popular demand!)
So I took around half players and half community volunteers to find a middle course. Look at comments above. How much whine would have been there in case I took some guys who never played on a decent competitive level.
And by the way, do you really think anybody from the top ten teams rated his team higher than - he believes - it actually is? I asked the players to be as neutral as possible in case they are playing in a top team. You all are making a big deal out of it whereas the players just gave a rough ranking in about 2 minutes. One voters opinion has not much of an impact on the final ranking anyway.
well i wrote neutral people. there ARE people being able to judge how good a team is.
there ARE players not being able to judge this.
like, most people think tlr is kickass just because they have 2 aim machines which one of them isn't even a good teamplayer.
the belgiums (the team with kevin and those beltards <3) have a very strong teamplay and could even give tlr a freaking hard time, if not even beat them ..
it seems to me people mostly voted on NAMES instead of the ability of the teams.
i ain't being an arse and hating players / teams here. dav1d is still one of my fav
dude of .be <3 :)
next time get some more people to vote if you have a mixture of players / shoutcasters+admins+ettv dudes+community page mods .. should do the trick :)
ps: i never said your work is bad, bo .. well done (gut durch!)
well then sorry ... hoho .. omfg
a mix of community people you mentioned + top players is much better than just community people, tho few current "experts" are 8D
this list is good for community discussion, opinions, more exposure of teams, a very good thing for this gaming community site
agree with kuraigu, this is not a realistic panel to decide about it.. let outsiders make the list

Experts in what? Being online on xfire/spamming or playing a map or two every 6 months? Oh I get it, it's because they are known there opinions must be right! Right? -_-
The votes were taken at about 23.-24.Sep.
edit: No you didn't, look at snb :P
kmoet nog steeds een hayaahitcounter maken
afgekicked van wow ja?:p
I loved them when they were still idle!
i dont think ranking a team will ever be succesfull without having a cup for it
Lineup: toxic, snoop, syK, teKoa, m1lk, Tiigeri, mystic, Mztik, jauhis
ranked 5th with a lineup like this :) ET must be uberhigh then
you can have 6 people who aim like mAus in your team and you might still suck - it's about teamplay, etc
vae should have 30point deduction for having chmmp on their list!!!
rankings is ok .. all great teams and players.. would like to see team-rat vs. team-lazio ;P
1. TLR
2. Fear Factory
3. Mamut
4. Devilry
5. Fatgames
6. OVERLOAd
7. S.N Battalion
8. Vicious and evil
9. Vital-gaming
10. Replay zZz
OVERLOAd kicked us, because we had the truck already after 5.30 min on supply. Vital we won 1 map than they left. won some maps against battalion but we can't win 2 maps from them only 1 some times:< Vicious and evil was also nice to play against. I think we lost but we did play well against them. Mamut the first time that we played against them they weren't that good ( we lost but still ) and the 2nd time they were alot better (probably pracced more :< )
just stupid. Every time we win against a better team then we are we get the whine about being obvious. But if we lose we are the random noobs. The known highskilled people do got to much high ego in ET. Probably also in other games
and as far as i remember i saw you twice in a busted forum thread here, and you think people could trust you? ahahaha
I will keep on playing till I see very weird stuff in avi's/demos from my teammates like the avi's from jaN or keNta for example
:DDDDDDDDDDD
and experts r so imba.
I'd suggest to do it twice per month (a lot of games will be played) or not at all.
Also, teams being good/bad are kinda relative, some are really strong on some maps but weak on others. So rankings by maps would be interesting!
The flame given from most people is bullshit, just be happy something like this is done on crossfire at least it's something better to read then most stuff here :)
TAG Site > *
But it would be a good idea to make a ranking system that ranks the clans by results.
btw: redeYe from quadv has experience with such things!
gl & hf
but they both have a TWK member so it doesnt really matter
gnight :zzzzzz:
i play cod4 and only in publics
ps:those news are REALLY useless and boring.. time passes, same players mix up and nothing changes
at least not in my life
