Welcome to Clanbase EuroCup XXI. First 5on5 competition on that level brought 266 signups. We have decided to change several things regarding qualifier process and later stages as well. I must admit that last season's qualifiers decision was very easy compared to this one. Being unsure about certain clans, I've consulted everything with Killerboy. After hours of chat, lots of scores checked, demos browsed (the ones we've received from clans who desperately wanted to prove they're EC quali material), we did some changes and finally agreed who will compete in EuroCup Qualifiers.
The cup formula will be different as I mentioned already. We wil have:
- 4 direct invites
- 8 high qualifiers invites
- 16 mid qualifiers invites
The groupstage will consist of 6 clans per one group (4 in total). Qualifiers will divide clans into poules. Each group will consist of 1 clan from each poule. How does it look like?
- 4 directly invited clans will go to poule 1
- 8 high qualifiers clans will create 4 pairs. Winners will go to poule 2, losers to poule 3
- 16 mid qualifiers will create 8 pairs. So we will have 8 winners and 8 losers. 8 winners will create 4 pairs. Winners of winners will go to poule 4. Losers of winners will go to poule 5. Now, we will have 8 losers which will create 4 pairs. Winners of losers will go to poule 6, losers of losers will drop out and go to one group of OC Premier.
As mentioned earlier the cup's groupstage will consist of 6 clans put in 4 groups, 24 clans in total. Top3 out of 6 will secure their playoff spot in a double-elimination brackets.
Without a further ado, I present you EuroCup XXI invites:

[ger]zu viel klugscheißen und dabei noch failen ist nicht gut, et haste ja gequittet also woher willst das wissen?[/ger]
And tbh i don't think that you should get the chance to play in the ec because you suck.
so who s the failure?
Funny how you arguing - i m just presenting my opinion
learn to reply :D
so take it easy (mode) noob. And lose some weight kid
* Sleeperz vs Belgian Fraternity
* EASY MODE vs Impact Gaming
* rockit vs Friends in Force
* TAG vs Berza
should be
* Sleeperz vs Impact Gaming
* EASY MODE vs Belgian Fraternity
* rockit vs Friends in Force
* TAG vs Berza
you shouldnt put teams that most likely end up high against each other in qualifys, basic fucking logic
you always out done yourselfs with these decisions gratz
your opinion means jack shit
what's so hard about giving your opinion in a normal way?
some people here have some serious mental problems
skills (never heard of any playing there) ,
highbot ( wtf, they come back 1 week before ec, and die one week after every season ) ,
angeldust (...) ,
1stcave ,
playing there?
gtfo kb
your either shit... or busted cheats
gtfo
now i just whine at cheaters and idiots who plays with cheaters
oh yeah, and we came 25th-29th at lan, we didn't win 1 match.
fuck those twats and have fun pwnin noobs with ur mates <3
btw hes not
i could send u some demos of us beating teams that even got a HIGH qualifier...
not meant as a statement on whether the qualifier is justified, just a reply to ur question.
"8 high qualifiers clans will create 4 pairs. Winners will go to poule 2, losers to poule 3"
No? Correct.
Is it that hard to read my comment?
or atleast im feeling like i should know it...
Besides, obviously you won't get f5 or Blight in your group :-) As I said earlier, it's the groups that matters, not qualis :)
Sorry for the late respond, but really I couldn't do it earlier :P
are u awere he played RtCW Early X-Mas cup by twister? which gieves us around one month of inactivity

The teams seem ok. Hope it will be skilled EC. Without dropouts, and forfeits.
edit: nice edit kb gj.
looks ok so far for et
<@ENSJAM> e-WAVE will deliver
-> Ewave americans + stray. Very motivated and keen.
Also, i hope someone took a picture of that red stuff we ate. That was disgusting.
JAK TO, NIE CZYTASZ OWNED?!:<
the cup itself will verify if these teams are really good or just have famous players
FAIL :P
matias wants to play with fintastic
maus declined
butchji inactive
meez personal agenda against our team
snoopi an option, but packetloss on lan
freeze might be an option, but hes on the same page as karnaj
urtier and senji both kinda inactive
and thats the most honest answer you will ever read on this page :P
karnaj, freeze, stop looking on laggers imo!
just stating facts!
Honest picture is honest.
karnaj is a good spammer but he's playing alone
butchji + Reload = Domination
joke.
Reminds me of The Wire.
I expect a lot of drama, teams folding, hackers getting caught / false accusations, etc.
Oh and of course great matches with epic clutches.
Altogether.. ET at its best =]
where's your bro?:D
It is weird to see that same faces do this volunterily and every time they got only negative feedback and still they keep doing it :) good luck with it.
usually the whine has been huge after invites are announced, but now just few teams made a couple comments.. so it was basically nothing compared to past years where some people really made a huge fuss about not getting invited :D
If those two teams had matches against Sleeperz and Belgian Fraternity I think both would end up in group 2.
IS IT ALREADY 1st.APRIL?
#boycotteurocup
idle & perform
I think we've at a point where every clan that wants to play in EC should get a chance to fight for it, like an elimination tourney during one week and then who's left from that tourney gets a qualifier spot
so you could have like 64 clans fighting for 8 low-qualifier spots, no whine, no "OMG THAT TEAM GOT A QUALI???" and everyone would be satisfied
& sup with flags ?
Dunno, PBBans-flag doesn't work anymore.
lowest ec ever
#evu.cup was supposed to give a good view of several clans and it helped a bit. I can't extend qualifiers @ CB so I'm searching for any other solution. Last year, I asked for demos - no one sent. This year, I made a quick cup to have a preview and I think it worked not bad at all.
just curious, dont really care cauze EASY MODE wins it anyway lol :p AzA<3
thats blasphemy :o
nice to see Lepari and mystic back, the best players of the game :)
and yea, i noticed i agree pretty much with you, most of the time tbh!
