ESL ET Winter League '08

After our very successful summer and fall cup series we are happy to announce a bigger tournament again. We noticed a rising activity and interest in our competitions and we will bring the ESL ET Winter League '08 to you.
This will include a 1on1, 3on3 and 6on6 tournament. The 3on3 and 6on6 format will have a free amount of slots that will be divided into three divisions (with groupstage and playoffs). We will split the divisions by skill and results achieved in the latest ESL Cups!

need team !!! pref german

nice idea
need 2v2
Nice, except that there are too many maps in the maplist for 6v6.
Id suggest taking the CC5 maplist, so that lanclans could prac for it.
Aleks using his amazing logic, As per.
Parent
Yeah, there are too many maps! Lets leave 3 maps in mappool and it will rock!
Parent
Please unban me ! .__.
Your ban (PP's) expires before the signups end so there is no problem for you to signup & play.
Parent
Ah , nice , thanks for information :)
Parent
well done! was waiting for something big from ESL!
Yuppi, already joined. News incoming ;D
nice! hope these cups are as successful as the fall series :)
what can i do with this premium account anyway :L
and what use can i get of that
it is not of a big use in ET nowadays. Some years ago we had the Amateur series in the german section which was for premium members only. See DeVitos link for all the extra features. But overall the premium account is used to enter special leagues that are a level above the general.
Together with trusted member status and premium you also scare away alot cheaters and take away the anonymite of the WWW which is the biggest problem to really fight & punish cheaters or fakers.
Parent
well done, I just hope that these division things won't screw up like CB's
we will take care of it, don't worry :P
Parent
I got my faith on you!
Parent
omg, how can this happend?
could you translate that in english please? :P
Parent
nice done, listening to the community, signing up.
EDIT: very nice, good luck, singing up soon most likely !
nice changing the mapppool :)

NO BRAUNDORF ON 6ON6, my god, this is the best thing ever (By ESL).

I am thinking about becoming active on your league ;)
\o/ nice ! good luck & have fun everyone !
maplist

8-DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD


nice
go crusher ! : )
jawoll da sin wa mit bei!
make only last 8 digits of pbguid visible on gameaccounts page
for which reason?
Parent
don't want people to see my full pbguid(spoofing and similar reasons)
Parent
you can not spoof pbguids (you enter your full pbguid at CB too, e.g.)
Parent
yes but CB hides all except last 8 chars for public

and mbudget spoofed my pbguid so you can(well at least make yawn think that it's the same guid)
Parent
public means for everyone who is too lazy to register, which takes 1min max. :)

though I understand you and will take it into consideration
Parent
no, by public I mean that only the leader of your clan and yourself can see full pbguid, everyone else can see only last 8 chars
Parent
you cant spoof pbguid
Parent
I know you can't spoof the actual pbguid, but if someone somehow finds a way, I'd like that my pbguid isn't out in the open ;)
Parent
will never be possible
Parent
better safe than sorry
Parent
uhu uhu,yes i get ur point this is ..

GOT SOMETHING TO HIDE MAYBE DANL??!!??
Parent
only Premium suxx giv us Bitdefender or Monny
