I guess this will be more equel price shared.
Cause ET is with 6 players
And all the other games are with 5

Maybe Tosspot can have his influwence to get the bottum out of the can here.!

Enemy Territory (6on6): €1000

Call of Duty 4 (5on5): €2.750

Counter-Strike: Source (5on5): €2.750

tosspot is just an external caster, he has nothing to do with the actual ESL :)
Parent

maxi. 5 Mar 2009, 17:10
A person like Stuart has a big network where he can put influwence on... how do you think he can organize all does things... people help him and people are supporting him.. and the other way arround... so it doesn't mather if he is external its just that he can talk with the admins and give good arguments to raise the price money;)!

I think and i also have the trust in Tosspot if he wants to do it for him self and the community that he can work it out;)!

therogue 5 Mar 2009, 18:01
As the person most responsible for the EMS in the ESL, I can say there is little he can do, there are many, many factors that go into making the prize pool, stu begging would be a very small one :)
Parent
▼
maxi. 5 Mar 2009, 13:48
Or maybe you or any other ESL admin can do this proposel.... since the call of duty 4 scene for wat i have heard is on the low as wel... and i mean the counter strike team has always big money so a lose for the 250 euro is nothing.

I guess you as a admin from ESL on the ET side or maybe for more but i guess your love goes out to ET can make your self hard for this community!

Just my 2 sense!

Over 150 players and 1000 teams ? What? 0,15 Players per team? Or did i get smth wrong?

anyway nice to read this :)

kafux 5 Mar 2009, 00:20
150 players and 1000 teams played at EMS Season 3 (CS:S, CoD4, DotA,... ) It has nothing to do with ET :)
Parent
▼
oxidFimS 5 Mar 2009, 08:39
Yea i just think eiM mixed it up, cause esl page says:
QuoteOver 150 teams and 1,000 players took part in eleven tournaments of the last ESL Major Series.

i think ET is a bit more active and popular than aa or dod:s so maybe it deserves more money, maybe 750€ :x
▼
mst 5 Mar 2009, 00:15
Czech qualifiers are pointless imo :<.
▼
Ri bo 5 Mar 2009, 00:59
The Czechs have been quite active at the ESL in the past. There where more Czech teams than Finnish ones for example and if I remember right not even the Benelux scene had enough teams for a national qualifier; the Czechs had.
Parent
▼
saKen 5 Mar 2009, 14:57
quantity over quality?
Parent
▼
Sn4kE. 5 Mar 2009, 16:12
like bo said...
we offer each team the chance to get into the groupstage, not only proved high skilled teams....also the smaller and aspiring teams have a chance to get into the groupstage via a national qualifier which might be an easier way than the Europe qualifiers
if there will not be enough teams for a national qualifier, there wont be one. these are just predictions. if we get enough Finland teams, there will be a Finland national qualifier too.
Parent

saKen 5 Mar 2009, 16:24
guess you mean something else with the "Europe Europe's Best" then. So it's all about how many teams from one nation sign up?
Parent
▼
smOke 6 Mar 2009, 16:46
Yes, playing ET and organizing cups is pointless, lets all prefer real pls
Parent
▼
mst 6 Mar 2009, 17:11
I had the same point as saKen but looks like admins have other view on this :)
Parent
▼
sean 5 Mar 2009, 00:16
I appreciate that organisations are still putting money into ET, but 500e for a 6man team is kind shit if you compare it to quake3 which is getting 750e for one person and which will probably get less signups.

eiM 5 Mar 2009, 12:26
if I am not mistaken it should arrive within the next 2 weeks if it didnt yet. We'r very sorry for all the delays though I think you can be sure to receive the money as the ESL gives out very much prizemoney every year. Just the time to be is the question in that particular season.

I hope this does not cut the signup numbers of this season as it is another chance for us to show how active and attractive the Enemy Territory scene is.

ET could easily blow games like DoD:S, TF2 and AA out of the water, so I suggest every eligible ET team should try to participate.

Me and perfo were banned under the old cheating rules, which was a blanket 2 year ban on any kind of offence with any level of proof. Perfo's ban was even disproved and lifted by CB but ESL refused to budge.

Very soon after, the ban periods were reduced but not for existing bans.

are mostly splitted on activity @ ESL as you might understand. As soon as ET community will change its mind about playing ESL competitions this can change aswell ;)
▼
eiM 7 Mar 2009, 11:22
actually there were. I must agree they lacked consequence and activity from time to time but we hade the last online tournaments with real prizepurses such as the IPS and last EMS (1000€). If the activity rises overall I'm sure we can pull out similar in the future.
▼
ZeD 7 Mar 2009, 12:10
eiM there will be only 16 et teams which means its like 10% of ET scene and your trying to get more ET teams to ESL?This smells like a fail.CZE has not good clans except iR, germany few but not very competitive and also Poland has k1ck so your giving a chance to some random clans which will fall out in groupstage
▼
eiM 7 Mar 2009, 13:03
actually depending on the teams performences the final stage an consist out of 12 EU teams and only 4 nationals. All depens on their performences in the qualifiers which gives anyone a chance and only those the spot who proof their skill. Ofcourse its not a massive competition as the WL 6on6 but we can not pull off 2many events at the same time with our staff :)

smOke 7 Mar 2009, 23:16
