ESL ET ladders relaunch

image: eslAs previously announced in the latest column here on Crossfire the ESL ET Ladders have been reset. Our ladders offer you games in the following formats: 1v1 , 2v2 , 3v3 and ofcourse 6v6.

We will host the Most Matches Competition in the reopened ladders in the following months. Furthermore we plan to host special one day cups month by month in which we will invite the top ranked teams of our ladders.



We have also lowered the re-challenge block from 2 weeks to 3days. This means you do not need to wait as long as before until you can ask for revenge!

Also do not forget to check the "New Entries" link on the "Rankings" page of every ladder to find opponents which you can challenge. You will be listed here until you played your first match.

If you have any problems on creating your team or joining the ladders / competitions of the ESL make sure you have read the Starter Guide or try to find help in #esl.et on quakenet.

Makes no sense, just invite all the teams in the ladder so lowskilled teams can also paly
everyone is invited to play in the ladder. The cup I was talking of is just a special thing which in the end makes it more appealing to fight for the top ranks.
Parent
i ment the cup
Parent
there will be another weekly cupseries soon in which any team is able to play aswell. No worries
Parent
I dont worry! I dont play any cups anyway :p

Great initative!

hf fellas
Reminded me of a column done back in the day...

Quote by Jule 06Fix: We need proactive work from ClanBase. Bombarding us with news, updates and progress reports. We need matches to mean something, for people to care.

All we need is a few changes. Initially the ladder should be segmented into ‘seasons’, an analogous ‘split’ on a stopwatch. The ladder continues to roll on but it allows teams to reflect on how they’re doing. A report from CB every three months commenting on how clans have done, who the biggest movers are and who’s top of the table – everyone loves publicity. This small gesture would help increase the importance of matches as they actually produce an end product.

Great to see ESL pick up the reigns, any chance of a few of the suggestions from back then could be implemented. This could tie in with your 1 day cup idea? Granted not that familiar with how ESL does things...
Parent
I also had that in mind when I posted the newspost ;)
Parent
esl, pffffffffffffffft
OMG we've lost our both no1 ranks ! Ahhh the drama !
stop editing my posts on gamestv :P
Parent
good luck
EU only??
We will not stop NA , CA or other teams from joining the ladder as there is no NA section of ET in the ESL.
Parent
What would it take to get some NA ET ladders open?
Parent
you'd need a capable guy who applys as Admin in the NA section and states that he wants to open an ET section. If his apply is fine and he is active enough he will probably make it and open an ET section with some ladders & such. Though the hardest thing is to find stable and active teams who play in your ladder :p
Parent
Theres plenty of active teams here but what we lack is a variety in competition. Currently neither ETL or STA offer ladders however XPL will.

Personally I wouldn't be able to apply per my involvement with XPL but I can think of a few people I will pas that info along to.

Thanks for the info :)
Parent
Make sure they check these posts:

Up to now the NA section still seems pretty empty. I can't promise you that they are interested in an ET ladder atm, though its worth a try.
Parent
Thanks m8 :)
Parent
No offense, but I think with the upcoming NationsCup / ET masters / EuroCup there are enough major leagues going on already ..
Gl though :-)
those are no ladders :) Also the ESL ladders have been open for years. We have just resetted them and hope to bring back more activity to it. Read my column for the specific readsons.

The team has too many members for this league (2on2 teams must have exactly two members).


honestly, what kinda crap is that, u still didn't fix this after 2 years when I last tried to join the ladder :o ?
It will never be fixxed as it is supposed to be like this.

2on2 Teams are handled similar to 1on1 accounts in the ESL System. This means you are only allowed to have a team consisting of two players (2on2 account) when joining the ladder. As 2on2 teams shall only play with these 2 players and not a random lineup of 10 or more.
Parent
so u lost one signup there I guess
Parent
it must be a hard one to do 10mouse clicks then :)
Parent
its not that, if your only allowed to make a 2on2 team account which consist of only 2 players, you will be having a hard time playing since if one is offline you cant pick anyone else to play with unless you make about 10 team accounts with you and your mates in it...
Parent
I do understand your complaints. Though its not a thing I can change =)
Parent
actually we made a 2on2 team for that thing 2 years ago, but sanda doesn't know his pw so he can't add guids and therefore we can't join anything with that team... so, so much for that
Parent
so let him request a new pass or if he lost his email aswell query me in irc
Parent
guess he lost email as well, but dunno if I want to put that much effort for this :O
Parent
same for here :/
Parent
So 2on2 teams must have 2 members but 3on3 teams can have as many as they want? Sounds great
Parent
Not much of a team if you're changing 50% of the lineup...
Parent
you really think that there is some 2v2 only teams? MOST OF are 3v3 teams with 3-5 players in lineup who play 2v2 just for fun too.
Parent
Create a few accounts? :v

chmpp + mate > chmpp + mate
Parent
chmpp+mate, chmpp+mate1, chmpp+mate2
mate+mate1, mate+mate2
mate1+mate2

6 clans so one clan could play as they want?
Parent
need chmmp community!
Parent
there must be a border line somewhere.
Parent
But not an absurd one like yours
Parent
It works in games like CS and CoD, why wouldn't it work for W:ET?
Parent
Read chmpp's comments
Parent
it could be blocked with "one of your members is already in another clan" tho, havent tried but since it ESL id expect it.
Parent
it will block you from joining with multiple teams, yes :)
Parent
allowed to make several accounts then? seems to have no other way
Parent
no you are not allowed to have multiple accounts :s
Parent
lets see if u can catch me!
Parent
pls dont even try ;>
Parent
Let's summarize:
You can't have multiple accounts.
You can't join more than one clan.
You can't have more than 2 people in a 2on2 clan.

So if two friends from a 6on6 clan want to participate in the 2on2 ladder, they have NO way of doing this? 2on2 must be some serious fucking bussiness, really.
Parent
No you didnt get the point at all.

All they need to do is create a 2on2 team in which they both join. This is undependent from any other teams they participate in. The only block they have is that they can not be in the ladder more than once or with a team consisting of more than 2 players.
Creating a team is a thing which takes you 1minute.
Parent
you can only make a ladder active if it brings prices (doesn't have to be material stuff) with it.. Like, automatic invites for bigger cups etc dunno..

Clans prefer one day cups above ladders these days.. sad but true
premium membership lol'd :D
Parent
The invite to a well organised 1 day cup with the extra prestige is a decent thing, 'n seeding for things i.e. Crossfire LANs does generally take into account official matches.
Parent
with 15 teams in the ladder thats like not even a whole cup :D
Parent
It seems a lot of teams are afraid of the "officialness" of a ladder, while active ladders are a requirement for W:ET to grow out to become a more competitive game, which means more prize money to be earned. Once you are part of a ladder, you can treat ladder matches like PCW's, except that they are played in a more protected environment.
Parent
It ain't that bad, at least not worse than CB, just different.
QuoteFurthermore we plan to host special one day cups month by month in which we will invite the top ranked teams of our ladders.


very nice idea!

Though I've got to admit I'll be still playing on CB
I do not have a problem with that. Even more I hope you play Clanbase and ESL and Crossfire and 1daycups and everything else which is out there :p
Parent
that sounded like some political bullshit talker
Parent
Going to make a 1on1 Speed-Cup ladder? :)
Parent
since when does CB host one day cups?
Parent
They don't
Parent
Very nice idea !
faileaguel!!!111
