The following teams will have to battle each other and attempt to secure their place in the group stage.
Qualifier InformationThe qualifier matches will take place between the 12th until the 17th of January; news posts about each game will be published later on this week. The top two out of the three teams will proceed to the group stage.
A qualifier match is played on two maps. Both teams select a map from the map list before the start of the match and inform the cup admin at least 30 minutes before the match is set to start. The admin will not announce maps until both teams have confirmed their choices with him. In case both teams have chosen the same map, the second map will be selected with the conventional method of map elimination, preceded by a cointoss. The admin will choose which map is played first. In case of a tie another map will be played.
Challenge your opponent using the roster.
Non European Nations ReminderThe ClanBase ET SW NC XIV is an online European tournament for national teams. National teams are led by captains who are appointed by ClanBase based on the support they have in their national scene. Only European teams who play in a European country, Russia or Israel may participate. Exceptions may be given by the Chiefs of Cups.
All nations participating must agree to play according to, and with, the rest of the European nations; in other words, all matches must be played on European servers, in respect to the European time zone, unless both nations agree not to.

NationsCup FormatNationsCup XIV will have a similar format to last season's NationsCup with two qualifier matches in which the two winning teams proceed to the group stage.
The Group Stage will be composed of 4 teams per group, with 8 groups in total, for 32 participating teams combined. The top 2 teams from each group will advance to the playoffs which will be played using the double elimination format. The playoff tree diagram will be announced shortly after the group stage is over.
AdminsEvery season we ask for dedicated admins to help out the supervisors with uploading screenshots and making matchreports. This season is no different so here we go, we are looking for people who can:
- Speak and have decent written English.
- Write interesting matchreports, interviews and/or predictions.
- Make well thought out and impartial decisions.
Admins are an integral part of a cup's success, so if you feel like you're up for the task, don't hesitate to sign up. Of course, you can also simply sign up to upload the screenshots of your own match, so you can make the cup page a bit more interesting for all to see.
ContactIf you have any suggestions or questions about anything, feel free to leave a comment or visit us at #clanbase.et and we will answer as soon as possible.

Zhong Guo Dui Jia You!

gl!

ossu
what the ...?
fair rules pls.
Just kidding!
Thanks for the help. What happened to the Crossfire World Cup? At least with that we don't have to put up with this shit.
Message to whoever we get drawn against, please consider playing us on even terms. We have a US west coast server (ETTV enabled) to allow for this. As always, teams are welcome to practice on the server to assist with getting used to the "conditions".
We don't expect to win, we just expect to be able to compete on even terms. That's the whole point of any international competition.
Despite this, we have large areas of our country still in drought or not affected by these rains/floods at all (like where I live).
In saying that yes, two of our NC members are currently affected by these floods but most are returning home now or weren't adversely affected (waters receding etc).
thats like u just want to show that yes it 'NationsCup' by including China/Col/etc. but dont rly care about other nations taking part in it.
"A disappointment"
e: and aus / usa / chili can be better than you think...
EDIT CHILE
One day the whole ping issue won't exist but until then, times are changing and where once we couldn't play 200v200 ping or 150v250 we now can and that should be acceptable IMO.
More to the point; I expect and suggest every European team to be fair and try to find even grounds between themselves and non-European countries.
I am trying to change the current rule and get rid of it for good, but for now I cannot force a European team to play on a non-European server. Hopefully until the groups kick off the rule will be changed.
:'(
2 bad they cant participate.
So i wonder why the fuck they asked our passports in the first place :S
It would be nice if killerboy, could help us in the matter. I dont really blame the admins but it would nice if they could convince the ¨CB chiefs¨ to let us play. But i guess thats kinda impossible
xD
wacka wacka ^^
Trying to discuss about the participation makes no sense neither, because the majority of the community are some kind of racists/ kids. One part of them are just hating all turks, because of prejudices or experiences and the other part just want to flame/troll and thats why they are writing comments like " then move back to turkey ". Dont try to comment on such comments and just stay above this.
We dont need this cup to be happy. ;)
