Following my recent column regarding the ClanBase Ladder system the ClanBase admins have bowed to community pressure.
In an interview with iTG stewie on his show Luger Frag the ClanBase Enemy Territory admins announced several major changes to both the Ladder system and EuroCup.
As a result of the “stronger than hate” situation at the top of the ladder, all ladder matches will now be forced to play a decider should it be required. Issuing a brief statement ClanBase Ladder Supervisor Mrozu had this to say:
This means that points will no longer be awarded for a draw. The purpose of this change is to remove the ‘1 map wonders’ and ensure clans remain motivated to win, knowing there’s always something to play for.
In the same interview ClanBase EuroCup Supervisor Adacore confirmed that there will be no Summercup this year. This is due to both OpenCup and EuroCup lasting longer than expected, hosting a Summercup now would infringe on the Autumn season.
In a final statement ClanBase stated that an unconfirmed number a clans from the top of the ClanBase European Ladder will be awarded at least a EuroCup qualifier [should there be an EC]. These changes are to ensure transparency when deciding what teams receive a EuroCup invite.
