Electronic Sports League is now back in action in the ET scene with a fresh new cup that will replace the well-known Spring Leagues.
This is a brand new ideea with several stages but also with a consistent prize for the 1st place.
Are you curious so far? If not, let me just tell you that I have more for you, and it's all about these Series. Scroll down a little bit and you'll see all the details!
Only four qualifiers will take place in the next 4 weeks. Their purpose is to gather the best 16 teams for the 5th and last cup from these Series.
The qualifiers will be played as a normal cup, only the final cup will be a little bit different. If the qualifiers have more than 32 teams signed up, we shall have a Single Elimination system. If not, we shall have a Double Elimination system. Only 4 teams from each Qualifier will get in the final cup.
In the final cup, we shall pass through 4 different format:
The player that wins the final cup, will get his hands on a Cyborg Glide 7 Surface.
Signups are now opened and will end next Sunday! I only have one more thing to say and that is: SIGN UP NOW!

make love not flame
give back spring/summer/winter leagues and gtfo with that.
XP? Revives? Kills? Deaths? ....
- XP
- K/D ratio
- Damage Given/Received
Even more, every match will be spectated by an ESL admin, in order to prevent other problems that may or may not occur.
person B kills 35 people and gets 5500 damage
who goes out? (assuming these are the lowest 2)
so this is a cup to find out the biggest rambo in ET?
but i don't think that will work
ET is a teamgame... guys...
edit: oh, The Last Rambo Standing??
5vs5 valhalla hs
srsly, who ever launches a cup like that in a serious kind of way (and esl is the most serious league out there) didnt understand the game at all. if a braindead guy like sereal or wtf he's called would do such a thing, ok. but the esl?
massive disappointment.
4 normal cups + final fun cup(with player drops), to attract some viewers on ETTV. This was the ideea, and also a way to give out a Cyborg Glide 7 Surface.
how about you let the teams decide what player has to drop by decreasing the team size. that way the teams would have to create new tactics for the other formats and dont have to lose their smg eng for example (if he has lowest dmg) what most likely can be the case. that way you dont destroy the team order, class-wise.
but still.. as a fun cup ok. but why dont you host a real cup and do this as a funcup on a weekend. the majority will see this as a replacement to your usual leagues and will be disappointed, as the "last man standing idea" is totally against the teamplay that enemy territory stands for.
if you want this to work out, you have to let the teams decide who has to go. still this will piss off one or another player, but thats the only way. you cannot decide who has to go stats wise, thats bs.
1. Players might fight between each other, and some might disagree with the decision of the team captain.
2. Teams could get uneven, and other teams could flame because of this.
We are still working at an efficient algorythm that we'll use only in the final cup[/u], that hopefully will be fair for everyone.
We are not trying to kill ET. This cup is meant to get us out of the ordinary Spring Leagues that were hosted on ESL for several years. The amount of noshows that we had in the previous Spring Leagues made us draw a conclusion that what the community needs is something new. This cup will have only one edition, will not be repeated no matter if it's a succes.
So...why not give it a try and see what happens?
Team A won the match. Team A needs to drop 1 player.
Team A had the following players: X,Y,Z.
Players X,Y were far better than Z. However, Z is usually better than X,Y but in this match he played really really bad. However, the team captain X wants Z insteady of Y, because he knows that he can do better.
We are trying to prevent such things, in order to have a fair and fun cup.
btw: good idea by robaciek -> do 6on6 in final cup! that would be n1
this + prizes = wtfm8?
WHAT IS THIS SHIT?
seriously.
gg
From the teams ive spoke too, doubt you will get any real interest from top teams - therefore i doubt you will get many ettv viewers, and your prize will go to a complete noob. Maybe host a proper spring league / ems.
Massive disappointment from ESL, massive.
can't imagine how the matches would be interesting for spectators if everyone's just trying to get as good stats as possible
for all medics:
/unbind 5
for all engis:
stop being engi and just go for the frags.
I like new formats (how about a 10v10 cup? :D) or new gametypes but this is not the way to go..
Nice, because Enemy Territory will be in ESL again <3.
Previous format was the best :)
Bad idea
nice fail
sounds like a fun one day cup but noting more than that
