EuroCup XVIII Grand final

I am proud to announce that we have reached the last stage of the Enemy Territory EuroCup XVIII. Two teams which have both proven themselves in the past have made it to this point and will now fight it out in one epic game, or at least so we hope. Europe ButtonBashers will be facing off against Slovenia team mamut.si on Saturday the 13th of December.

Yes people, this does mean they will be playing the final at the Crossfire Challenge in Enshede The Netherlands. Due to the particular good timing of the LAN event the ET organizing Crew United Kingdom Adacore and Belgium Anaconda have agreed to give us some time to play this match at this event. There will be ample coverage at the event itself and if we are lucky ClanBase will get some extra video coverage in as well.

I would like to thank United Kingdom Adacore and Belgium Anaconda as well as United Kingdom Tosspot from Crossfire.nu for this great opportunity.

Say what?
i copied the clanbase thing... forgot to change the markuptags for this one :)
Parent
there was a script made by Ana which easily converted news from CB to CF
Parent
used it and it ignored the [el] tags :)
Parent
:-) nais
not that I care but ain't Italy xylos supposed to play on lan with BB?

edit: oky :B
so he will play the final also, wheres the problem ?
Parent
no problem he is on the apl + we don't need his guid cuz we know what he looks like ^^
Parent
I know, i just told this guy barti my love :)
Parent
essah gone gay :o save me plz someone think of the children ;p
Parent
Triple HOORAH !!!!
very nice , gongratz!
nice, gl
too back k1ck didn't made it to the Grand Final
if they did there would have been an online final. we were kinda fortunate both these teams were signed up...
Parent
nice, which time at will be played at lan?
good question
Parent
Around 17:30CET, although it's not 100% confirmed.
Parent
1st lan law - nothing happens at the time when it is supposed to happen :)
Parent
Rules were made to be broken!
Parent
just out of curiosity, how practical is it for one to be shoutcasting a LAN from home? Because I've got the feeling it's not the best idea in the world but I was really looking forward to casting the EC finals :<
only problem would be if the schedule went out of time...and that never happens :X
Parent
Hi panzynator
Parent
hi squalinator
Parent
Will you protect me from chmpp ?
Parent
no he seems rather almighty,i will throw peanuts at him tho
Parent
Maybe that will keep him away, thx!
Parent
I just thought that ya know, most of the time LANs are shoutcasted by ppl that are actually at the event but I guess if online casters are allowed I might even cast some CC5 matches :D
Parent
Sure fly to Holland, I'll pick you up and we will sit in the train for 2,5 hours, stay at a friend's place of me @ 1 hour driving of Enschede and enjoy cc5 xD
Parent
aight that's chill, wanna hire somebody to write my 3 exams for me that will happen during CC5? +1
Parent
You'd probably be behind the action as you'd likely be casting via ETTV.
Parent
yeah that makes sense :P
Parent
very nice :))
nice idea
prizes :XD?
So there should be prizes now cos its played on lan?
Parent
espresso and cookies
Parent
it on my birthday
Happy Birthday 2 U.
Parent
lol what? on lan?

Personally I think they should have declined the invitation to play the final on LAN personally, don't see any reason for them to accept.
They are all going, why not? It's more fun and competitive too.
Parent
most competitive is playing with your own setup o//
Parent
No I didn't mean competitive as in playing your best because with your own equipment, the usual competitive outside of gaming.
Parent
it's the equivalent of taking the bats of tennis players and replacing them with a clock on a stick and asking them to play.

Oh yeah it's "equal" except the morons who play tennis with a clock on a stick and not tennis rackets will have an advantage.

So basically they are both sacrificing their best performance, when all they have to do is simply have one player say "Nah." and then they will have to play online instead. Would also be a lot more interesting to watch if played online.
Parent
A far better analogy would be that it's like taking someone from the local park tennis court and putting them into a court at Wimbledon. They can take their racquets of course, but the setting and procedures are very unfamiliar. I think most players would, however, jump at the experience.
Parent
even with merely ETTV my thought process can get messed up so I doubt I'm one of those players

also the fact that LCD's and a Quake engine game is just LOL in like... I can't even think of an analogy ridiculous enough to say how depressing it is
Parent
Well, it's worth the sacrifice since it will be a clean game.
*And the (mammuth) would probably win online anyway, now with just more humiliation.(imho)
Parent
doubt people have any suspicions about tlr and idle
Parent
doubt that you are right, but now again you defend aza all the way until the end, so and so :-]
Parent
give me one good reason to think hes cheating, and while you are at it a reason to buy cheats for games he plays once a month
Parent
first: All the crossfire events and: once a month has never been ever, and who said that he have bought cheats, selfbust :XD
Parent
well according to you, he cheats

yet in all the FPS games I've played with him I've not noticed him aiming better or worse or any change in "awareness"

i could be wrong, maybe he does have hacks for every game and he's just fooling everyone from random crossfire users to me/perfo and everybody inbetween, but I think that is ridiculously improbable



and not going to LAN doesn't mean you cheat, could say most of your Swedish friends cheat using that logic
Parent
I don't know how he plays now, but then again ALOT of things point to it.
Yeah you could say that, but you could also say that it's quite a diffrence between +500€ and ~15€ for a two weeks busscard.
But all that is off-topic, my main point was that many probably think some guys in the team/teams is fishy.
Parent
You made me smile.
Parent
you crossed the line!
Parent
haha you love to be different don't you, just makes you look retarded sometimes ALWAYS choosing the opposite to what everyone else thinks.
Parent
unexpected and awesome !
NEED VIDEO CAMERAS LOL
Nice one, GL both. Winghaven, think of that poor guy who was tortured on that video, you will rage them np! RELOAd, I'm speccing you now, no pressure.
Seanza u will be there ? :). If you will be there get a Jim beam ready !
Parent
Man, I sooo wanna go. But no money to go :(
Parent
Great, not only do I miss CC5, but I can't even watch the EC finals.
Looking forward to it!

Grab a curry, put my pc on my 42" on the wall! Lie in bed, have a shoutcast!

What a day!
