highbot direct invite :DDDDDD
Because they are _high_bot
Parent
nice :D
i guess groups of 2nd division will be published after qualifiers of 1st div?
masculine_mans needs a direct invite!
not likely
Parent
why not? :<

they are better than most of the direct invited -teams!

otherwise nice cup, gl with it!
Parent
unkind with two players get a qualifier while disposable is "excluded" once again.
I guess they were too late with their sign up.
Parent
They did sign up.
Parent
In those first 144 sign ups ?
Parent
SO IT'S A BIT STRANGE NOW !
Parent
They signed up as team sweden and are excluded for the 1st division because they signed up as a nation. At least thats what's written in the list.
Parent
Yeah, now it is. Wasn't at that time.
Parent
where can i find those "ratings"lol
Parent
they are ordered according to what they are rated. 1 being the best and 144 being the worst.
Parent
What's the active lineup of BB and impact?
Impact's lineup: teKoa, m1lk, naga, toxic, wiaderko & syK.
Parent
Will mystic be back at any time ?
Parent
23:21.21  danL: rofl, iKs is established and med+ and my team is minor chances and med :DDD
23:21.26  danL: who made these spreadsheets
Why quote yourself?
Parent
only pros quote themselfs
Parent
And thus danL shouldn't do it
Parent
what makes you think I'm not pro?
Parent
I've played you in the past.
Parent
past is past, but we never said what I could be pro in
Parent
I thought this was about ET?

Also the past is the past? Seems like you're still second div material, just like when I stopped playing.
Parent
he said only pros quote themselves, never stated pros in what, when did you stop playing? I don't quite remember playing against you

at least I can say I won't play with just about anyone to play on a better level
Parent
Because you haven't said anything that hasn't already been said (and thus there is nothing for me to reply to) you will be given the last pic of the day. I hope it makes you feel better!

image: 2j4pn2r
Parent
the only thing we can see on the pic is your scary smile and your nose :O
Parent
a very big nose btw:D
Parent
You dont see the heart :(?
Parent
I do, but it seems like an indicator to make us focus on what's behind :D
Parent
It's not meant like that :D and theres nothing wrong with my nose and smile :(
Parent
Right you are ! Nothing wrong.
Parent
I haven't done it yet and there's a 1st time for everything
Parent
Couldn't just type a regular old comment?
Parent
no, it would've gone unnoticed
Parent
Unnoticed as it might have been, you would not have been made fun of!
Parent
Loled at your seeding as well :D You should have quali.
Parent
Being ranked lower than some of the quali clans is suprising by itself but not even being seeded in the ''Established'' zone is just a complete joke.
Parent
we're pretty new to the et you knows, formed yesterdays
Parent
yea lol wtf, I also lolled about ur seeding
maybe because ur achievments are mainly 3on3 one's... dunno
Parent
Almost perfect rating.
yeah right
Parent
Almost makes big difference, you know :)
Parent
That's why I use that word :D It's quite good rating but I see some weaker teams above my clan but there are some stronger teams below as well.
Parent
Nice, we were #5 on 6o6 ladder when we were active, played 3 times playoffs of premier league (did even better in other formats) and we are rated at med? :o
lol suits you cutiepie!
Parent
meh, its not like we are going to be THAT active i guess, but i would rather play some good teams we usually encounter in pracs instead of med clans...
Parent
:D You're so cute when you're mad! How are u little fella?
Parent
IM NOT MAD!! ;)
Its just somewhat demotivating, not really worth playing like that :p

Im great btw, finished my exams! Was saving for a pc to get over 30fps, but i blew 200euros on a coat :D

how are you? :)
Parent
nah just bashing you a bit ;)

Lol! thats retarded dude! PC > Clothes any day! ;)

I'm fine! Doing shitloads in university, last year/master program now, hating girls for the way they act and yea you know.. the usual shizzle :) but! other then that I'm rly great :D
Parent
Uni + girls = bad combination ;D

Im off to watch battlestar galactica, my sis has been whining about it for the past half hour, cu soon mate :)
Parent
lol hf! :) C u around mate!
Parent
arent you the pro from sweden? heard u likes fags!
Parent
Lol I am! Wanna go fagging?
Parent

Parent
Fuck, I like you
Parent
Quote by birahating girls for the way they act


I thought we had gone through this... you dont have any girls... its all in you mind... or is that the problem =)
Parent
I think you should shut your dirty pie-hole! it's not making any use any time of the day!
Wish I had that .gif where a painted turd comes ut of someones mouth now :@
Parent
pookie =( are you mad at me?
Parent
I would never be mad at ju!
Parent
lev joooooo <3
Parent
u should get direct invite <3
Parent
hehe ;) <3
Parent
it sucks that you didnt pick all the teams :/


everyone should get his chance imo
Don't worry there will be some dropouts for sure.
Parent
need groups of second divisiooon :o)
Qualifiers have to end first, I guess.
Parent
Make it more fucked up m8,
We won of dECLINE The Pin Pals unKind and more of those bullshit teams. Got better rankings CB + OC past. Great job with doiing the research !
yes this was unexpected...

just no words
i don't really understand how these seedings were done as it doesn't make a lot of sense to me

damn, i actually thought teams would be assigned more equally :/
Beated many of the clans that got qauli think thats the best point. And watch the CB rankings of our clan + OC past if thats any usefull info.
but you rate jeppis higher than them LOOL
TAG 6th?! LOL they are a mix team!
pinpals, decline and infernal shouldnt be in qualifers, rest is kinda ok
gl to all
imo pinpals deserves it. but the others u mentioned dont.
Parent
so we are 52 seeded and beated them
Parent
like today, right?
Parent
it was 2-2 if I remember correctly.
besides we played without rifle, but I'm not here for excuses.
peace
Parent
we lost a map to them so they must be godlike
Parent
You obviously haven't played vs us yet.
Parent
no, we only play top 10 seeds
Parent
Pinpals are 17th
Parent
was official :(

and i was joking, don't worry
Parent
Yea I know, just needed some smart reply :D
Parent
no, it's was 4-0.
peace
Parent
well maybe u're right, it was this close radar right?:P
but still we were better 2 days ago :D
Parent
http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=clan&mode=item&id=4553

5 members and clan rated as established XD
this is funny :)))
so how have decline ended up in qualis actually? based on what? how did some of new teams end up there?
I <3 the newssupporters section. Keep up the good work
What happens with the 3rd division? I did not saw anything about that.
well ofc there are several teams which might deserve a spot aswell (dispo as the best example probably) but it's impossible to satisfy everyone. and the lower the seeds get the harder it is to compare these teams to each other and decide which one to rate higher anyway.

ouh and considering that only 4 teams out of the 16 teams which got a qualifier get through (1 will be PIDAR anyway i guess)... most of the teams which claim to deserve a qualifier wouldn't have had a chance to get into the premier division ("EC") anyway.

i'm wondering if it was a good choice to publish the complete seeds though since this provokes even more whine =)
Quoteand the lower the seeds get the harder it is to compare these teams to each other
we're ranked 55 with some ghgh teams :<
Parent
agree, you should be rated a bit higher than that ;(
Parent
Same with nkNn, 63 xD
Parent
cheaterclan I have no sympathy for them at all.
Parent
we're 78 :/
Parent
I'm not even listed so stop complaining.
Parent
Would've been top 10 eh :c?
Parent
are u kidding? uve been all over the top!
Parent

Parent

Parent

Parent
Why did you avoid me? WHY JOOST WHY?
Parent
i was scared :$ and shy i guess :$

sorry wesley :(
Parent
wise decision i can tell :D
Parent
well, whats your point? even if you had a better rank, you would still be in the 2nd div cause there are only 2 div.. oh i forgot, you're gonna win quali :XDDDDDDDDDYOUMADEMYDAYDDDDDDDHAHAHAHDDDDDDDD
Parent
who the fuck are you? don't talk to me random
Parent
why am i a random? cuz i'm lower ranked? :(
Parent

Parent

Parent

Parent
masculine_mans :::::::::D no direct invite for lowtards
http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=news&mode=item&id=4105

Sweden DISPOSABLE signed up as a clan. How come they didn't get qualify?

Now your saying they were placed in division 2 since they were a nation. THEY renamed to Team Sweden since you placed them in division 2. HOW FUCKING LOW........
I did tell Chosen that releasing the full seedings list was a bad idea, but did he listen to me?
Does anyone ever?
Parent
short break through calculation :D
147 teams * 6 players = 882 player - lets wait for the whine of the rest before comin up with unaccurate accusations :d
Parent
cos there's 3 clans that complain about their retarded seeding?
Parent
It was good idea.
Parent
We are established.

:D

Tbh, I don't think ratings/seedings are that bad. You can't expect admins to know which team won pracs vs other teams you know.

I think the general flow of the seeding is quite ok. Ofcourse there are some teams which are seeded too low and some other teams that are seeded higher and would get beaten quite easily by few teams below them. But as I said, you can't expect a group of guys, who try their bests, to know exactly what team is better than which. Too few offi's are being played anyway between the 'med/+' skilled teams to find that out.

Good job :)
But you can expect them to check ESL/ CB to know what scores clans were recording and how they were seeded ;)
Parent
if you mean by CB, CB ladders then :DDDDDDDDDD
Parent
True, I didn't, but are there lots of differences or mistakes?
Parent
zzzz highbot
Germany aToOn missing in quali :(
France DESIRE.et is the new Germany aToOn and the old atoon is Europe InfernaL.et now and they both got a quali.
Parent
ah yeah Infernal... just forgot the name :]
Parent
TAG :DADasdDDasdadDDDDsdsdsadDD
rofl these groups are totally unfair.

part I groups are full so all of the best clans which won't get to the div 1 will be put in part II of second division, 2 clans per group. why havent u made all groups from div 2 with 7 teams and after qualis you would put 1 team to each group??? the teams from 2nd division I part won't get any of those best teams in their groups.
I dont get it
euhm, wat? oO

If I understand u right: The teams that should have get a quali in your eyes are now splitted in div 2 part 1 - qualifiers where u might not agree on are div 2 part 2 - regarding the fact that every teams needs to beat every other team in the relegation to have a chance to win, the seedings are fine: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=py9ocAqMrBgTk64zefUeZDw&gid=2

otherwise: i dont get all your points
Parent
no no no, it's not my point. I mean that the clans which will lost the qualis, will be divided only to the "part II of 2nd division" groups. the part II groups have 6 clans atm, so they need 2 more, which will be the loosers from the qualis. so that means that part II groups will have 2 very good clans in their groups, when part I groups won't get any of those. you get it?
Parent
yep thats right, but there are good teams in both and if u rly find an unequal group you can check the spreadsheet and will find the relegation system: http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=py9ocAqMrBgTk64zefUeZDw&gid=2
With this in mind i doubt there a problem with it
Parent
ok I see this system, it means that 3rd and 4th clan from each group will have still chances to qualify? and even If you have won your group you're still not sure about qualify? this is strange.

so why couldn't you make all groups with 7 teams, and divide 1 quali looser to each of them???? wouldn't it be more fair?? this is bullshit man :) I'd rather like to have 1 team from quali and one "established", than 2 quali teams. this is just unfair.
Parent
quali teams are seeded in poule "Established" aswell
Parent
yea but why they are qualis?? because they are the best from established!! so part II groups are getting 2 best teams when part I is getting 0. so the part I groups have automatically easier way.
Parent
looks cool :)
Great dispo dont get inv so were stuck in a group with them :x
Don't whine, they're an easy bash.
Parent
AntiClimax 2nd league, lovely!
edit: Phan allowed? :x
edit2: invitium is dead ;x
who should they replace then? ;DDDDDDDDdd
Parent
hahaha :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Would you marry me?
Parent
sure thing.
Parent
deal. you wear the dress
Parent
my son from 2.55 got a direct invite and not me ?
Parent
we got direct invite because of him
Parent
yep, cortana without him is just not the same.
Parent
just wondering but why is phantasmagoria allowed to play (and rodcat not to) ?
Idiotic seedings, but people will win the matches they're supposed to anyway i guess.
seems really nice, looking forward to the cup :)
n1 cup
seedings seem fine in general.. wonder how highbot, diversus and TAG will do :) Good luck to all teams.
plixplax no direct invite? lold
why would they?
Parent
coz they play wery well together+long exist but they gonna win the qgame so who cares
Parent
ahahahahah why the fuck did Highbot get direct invite, when there is better teams at quali, nice job :D:DD:
what the fuck is this shit once again?
Direct inviting HIGHBOT into every fuckin possible cup is just a fuckin joke.
how much they have paid?
"SUCH NICE GUYS THEY ARE.... HAS TO INVITE!!!!!"
Highbot improved a lot.
Parent
two times zero equals...direct invite?
Parent
gratz mouK !

hopefully top 5 result
ssup with myr? just played vs them yesterday?
as you can see they got added to the qualifiers and are therefore no longer a backup team
Parent
oh I get it :D thx for the info <3
Parent
why are we in 2nd? -_-
Good job admins.
Must be a bummer for all the med/+ teams to see theirselves in 2nd division
Considering the amount of clans, its the best seeding I have ever seen in ET. 95 % of the whine is ridiculous and this is said by someone whose passion is grouching.
n1, where can the 'real' lineups be seen?

some players are in x clans and it's hard to even roughly see who's actually playing

hf @ll
You don't know TAG lu? wth
it isn't that hard to make ur guess since it's only 42 members...
Parent
Maps will be forced in each matchweek or clans can choose them ?
clans can choose them, i will post the rules soon though which will detail out how that will work
Parent
No problem for #happyface :>
lold @ this.
I started playing WoW, but nice cup^^
impact gaming should be in the quali section.

bad bad team imO

that toxiicc guy, pretty terribad player.
nice sarcasm
Parent
fanboy some more LoL
Parent
are these seedings the actual seeding or is this just to rate them in a group?

if so, why are we seeded this low?
too high to be honest
Parent
Who are you again?
Parent
Nice, a randomcanadian replying to me.

It's ok, the truth hurts but you will survive.

great job!

e: SNB 7th XD some others way too high but i guess thats fine after all xD
<3 sponsors :XD
taking into account how many teams signed up, admins made great effort to put teams in groups where they deserve to be and they are doing this job volunterily . So I would be more than happy if I had even team to play in this and most of you are just complaining like always.
+1
Nice job admins
