North American ET Returning?

by Virus047 • 19 Jul 2011, 03:55 • News

A small group of people the last month have been working hard towards the return of Enemy Territory Competition in some form or fashion to TWL (Teamwarfare League) in North America. This drive has actually hit some traction with myself pushing TWL to actually do something for this wayward community... as generally NA ET's comp community is regarded as dead or finished and has no real home to compete in with the death of STA and ETL as our last 'major' leagues hosting NA-ET. Obviously this 'return' is long overdue for most NA ET players...

TWL is officially looking into the matter and needs to gauge interest for teams and players who would want to play in a future league, ladder or tournament to be hosted by TWL for Enemy Territory. Currently with no forums or website like et-center or wocen.org to call our home, I've offered up my own teams forums as a base of operations until TWL picks up the slack and returns to hosting competition and offers there own forums for use.

Were asking for anyone interested or looking for the skinny on whats going on in NA-ET to hit up the following forums:

Parent

lmao fucking trolls always make me laugh

Parent

Thanks man <3

Parent

just play in EU, not like you've any skill over there anyway LOL #UMAD?

heh, if et was dead in euro and it was alive in NA would you really rather play in NA or try to revive the european scene? who PREFERS playing with 150 ping and afternoon times? :(

Parent

pretty sure id choose anything over reviving a non-existing scene

Parent

easy to say that on the other side of the fence

Parent

yea the grass is so green on this side! et on its prime! thinking 3v3 could actually be the future, play hard go pro and so on and even more lans!

Parent

well at least you have lans :D we haven't had a lan since qcon - btw why would you complain about 3s / lans if you haven't attended a lan in ages? (I know your point was sarcasm but still)

Parent

ofc lans are good obviously, but when used the word lans i here it means a rant about more lans and 5v5 and basically what has killed the excitement, fun and activity from this game. sure lans do stir things up a bit but its pretty damn small group of ppl who are included in that and it does absolutely nothing for the long living of this game. (in a good healthy competitive spirit). ppl are not excited about online cups anymore, ec is just another random cup, these 500€ cups only make clans like dignitas to pracc a week and play offionly and get some cash. for the rest its just bs, they get fed off and leave and never coming back - not until there's some new pointers for everything - something to play for. new maps new config something damn new.

and for 3v3, think about it. im absolutely disgusted by whole format what what would look better on lan for example? 20 okish teams in 3s or 10 in 5s? better competition the better. just random thoughs...

Parent

think of it on the long run, of ET in... lets say 5 years. if it keeps going like now it'll be either dead or starring only 1o1 and max. 2o2's. 'pure excitement'

Parent

are there even that many lans even for major esports titles in NA? (really no clue... for it i guess it's the distance combined with so few players... well don't worry it's not so different in the EU now, it's not that hard to know most of the active players names really... :X)

Parent

Animals have to be caged! GET IT ANIMAL HAHAHAHAH

Parent

8pm EST = 2am CET...

playing on afternoon is a better option for NA' people then :) if theyre going to school or smth and afternoon is free.

Parent

yea but a lot of NA people have jobs/shit to do during the day - at least all the older players, the younger players, well most of those are the ex-cheaters and retards anyway

Parent

same in europe
thats why i stopped playing again after "comeback" few months ago ;:d

Parent

Your words, they hurt so much :(

Parent

you can quote me in a year after you got big things runnin and we got nuthing!

Parent

you'll never have nothin as long as finlands and polands keep playin this game

Parent

germanlanders are moah than finlanders hmkay?!

Parent

i thought there were more finnish teams that german.. maybe not!

Parent

i remember you playing for bd and losing.

Parent

but they play with stable pings over 150 -> no probs for them, unhit for us

Parent

ET is getting somewhat revived in Australia too. I guess

biggz will come up with a report if there is a need of teams for a current sign up in an Australian tournament. Maybe some US West team would be interested?

Millan....? Why the fuck do you have an Australian flag? You moved there ? :p

Parent

yes m8 :)

Parent

me amor

Parent

xddddddddddd mi amor*

Parent

can i haz one euro merc (ant1y :D)?, not many active colombians to actually make an active 5v5 team to play this.

anty

Parent

it was about time they give u ur fuken colombian passport mate,
bienvenido.

Parent

Why not combine north & south america, timezones are tolerable close. Ping probs?

I read that as South Africa and was like "vadafak?" :D

Parent

:XD

Parent

Dude, they got like a million clans in south Africa.

Parent

SK played some cs showmatches there, they were supringly good and had some scene :P

probably not millions though and not in et though :(

Parent

I was talking about different kinda clans you fool :D

Parent

:DDDDDDD

owned

Parent

Yeah, no doubt. But when I saw "South Africa" (I know you said America), I was like "wtf, they're not close in timezone!" :D

Parent

Parent

Meant that forum post as a joke to bash Brink. Didn't think it would materialize into this. I support any NA ET comeback but I do not see it becoming a long term reality.

I'd admin but I wouldn't let any cheating faggots play which brings the 6 teams that would have otherwise signed up down to a team and a half (highballing it).

Best of luck, though.

you don't allow EX cheaters? :d

Parent

there's a new thing called slac retard. just because you're flustered from getting raped in Brink by every team when people actually played it, doesn't mean you should take it out on people who were 'caught' 5 years ago. Small dick.

Parent

Wow you are mad. When did you get caught?

Parent

I think that's kardon. but he's right, SLAC > pb, and with the small amount of players left a ban on a player from 5 years ago can be easily ignored unless caught multiple times(monkey mission etc) more later on

Parent

multiple :DDDD love it

Parent

true story is true

furious frenchie is furious

Parent

dumb american is dumb

Parent

says french person

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

FURIOUS

Parent

didnt know we are known to be dumb, but you guys are surely are

Parent

Kardon? It figures a cheating shitty who was a nobody when NA ET was actually competitive would get so mad. So sorry that you are upset that the game you've played more times in the past 3 days than I have in the past 3 years isn't going to amount to anything in NA (long term). You can try me in BF3, though. If I actually have time to play it.

Parent

yeah but why you suck at brink/cod4/et/anythign bruh? i'll see you in bf3 no problem. Try not rage quitting in cod4 once in a while, it's ok man, it's ok, they were probably hacking too. You're terrible at every game you touch and you are clueless. Please, go rage about 'hackers' elsewhere. Go scream on vent again about nades killing you then rage quit off of vent LULULULUULULULULUL. This league just might work if it doesn't have retarded admins like you running anything.

Parent

You nailed it! When you and the trash you play with (minus Brandumb) win the TWL Season 29 ET Memorial Buzzard make sure you give me a shoutout for starting it all, faggot.

Parent

you haven't helped start shit. This league is Virus' doing. You're worthless. Go ragequit some more from cod4 scrims. THE NADES MAN, THE FUCKING NADES.

Parent

that's not very nice mark :(

Parent

I find it hilarious that you actually believe (or want to make people believe) slac prevents everyone from cheating.

Parent

gl guys

gl welcome back ;)

:o)

gl :)

there should be ladder in esl or cb for NA

there was an NA ladder in clanbase :P

Parent

http://www.nationalesl.com/us/ your place!

Parent

no thanks, i hate esl enough in the euro divisions i wouldnt even bother with an american one

Parent

need some et box, sta box or snl pubs back niggaz

Remember playing TWL 7on7 at 3AM during the week, hopefully they get it revived in any XonX.

gl great work!

good luck!

Well me and Tomun started the community on xfire to prove to TWL that these ppl in the community wants TWL to pick up ET again and we got 97 supporters. So hopefully we can get NA back to life.

inb4 dna league repeat

Parent

what you mean? i didn't get you o.o

Parent

bon chance bonjour monsier madame franch wine

salut mon ami

Parent

Good luck guys.

this league will be run by the same NA faggots who ban everyone that beat them or ppl with 5 years old ban. (ceres and co)

inb4 mad ceres reply about me being french

Where in the post does it say "ceres and co" will be running the league? I'm not seeing it.

Parent

its not saying it but it will BECOME like that

Parent

What the fuck does you being french have to do with you being on pb bans multiple times... oh wait.

Parent

just by your comments, i know you are bulgarian

and no there is no link between having 2 BANS withint 3 days (nice use of the word multiple) and being french.

Parent

REAAAAL

Parent

LOL Not really...

Parent

lets face it monkey, you and i are cheating!

Parent

fucking cheating man u cheated in 2005 but u still cheat fucking noob shittttt fuFKC

Parent

u come out of nowhere and how u so good??!! CHEATZ!!11!

Parent

Jumping to conclusions based on thin air, love it.

Parent

based on air? you meant on experience

Parent

It happened once. outside of TWL.
TWL-ET has been set up by admins with years of experience. TWL isnt retarded letting kids with no experience run their league and possibly ruin their reputation.

but I suppose complaining about something that happened in some shrub league is easier.

Parent

more than once, ceres and co are maybe not admins, but they have huge influence because they are sO GOOD AND KNOWNS 1337

Parent

Did it happen in TWL? No.
Point invalid.

Parent

the fact that it didnt happen doesnt mean it cant happen

Parent

Why so negative? Just cause people dont like you cause you cheated a whole lot years back? Get over yourself.

Parent

ok you are right but youl remind me of artstar

here is a gift for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_ANB5eT8iI

Parent

I remind you of artstar how? Cause I happen to know you were busted? Thought that was common knowledge.

Parent

is my bust your only argument? you are like artstar because you think you know everything

Parent

Keep talking out of your ass sir. I think I know everything when I say TWL would never allow some unexperienced guy ruin their reputation? Try again.

Parent

you know everything about every subject in life, you won

Parent

Never said anything remotely close to this, but whatever. Stay mad kiddo.

Parent

you are the one who is mad right now, keep replying god, you entertain me

Parent

You're obviously emotionally underdeveloped if you consider this to be mad. Sorry bro.

Parent

wait ill use this sentence to describe you: You're obviously emotionally underdeveloped if you consider this to be mad. Sorry bro.

Parent

South America is death, we got guys from Colombia, and we, the Brazilians <:)

Central America Didnt even born.

Parent

Chile isn't dead too

Parent

I represent chile, Fuck everyone else! also M@x and coke

Parent

Good to hear. We have started to re-build interest in Australia as well with the recent announcement of Amateur and Premier leagues.

The biggest issue preventing new or even some older teams playing is the massive skill gap we have from the top 3 or 4 teams. Then there are 3 or 4 other teams that get comfortably beaten by the top teams but completely smash newbie or etpub teams.

The Amateur league is targeted at new and returning teams and the Premier league for top and mid tier teams. Structuring it this way seems to be working as we have had more new teams sign up in the past two weeks then in the past two years.

At the end of the day there is no other team based FPS worth playing (if you don't like CS or CoD). Hell we have even had CoD teams sign up because they know they can learn to play without getting smashed by teams that have been playing for the past 5+ years.

nice, gl biggz. do you guys have an irc channel?

Parent

Cheers, yeah most of us idle on irc.ausirc.net @ #et

Parent

sounds good :) gl

Parent

This sounds all well and good, but can we get you to move to Hawaii and do this in NA as well? :-p

Parent

completed a beginner ukulele class recently so I guess i'm good to go :p

Parent

You should be ready, I believe that's how Obama became a citizen, so welcome to America!

Parent

Awesome mate!

Parent

tell shafty to stop trolling, and it will succeed :)

LMFAO
:D
SO TRUE

Parent

I guess you're trolling with this picture, however; if you aren't trolling and thought that was impressive, well, I must say that's quite dumb. It seems you just outlasted France in WW2 and have a myriad of tanks and soldiers.

Parent

^^. America only has cash & quantity. the quality of their soldiers is poor compared to the eu :P

Parent

I guess euros are in a trolling mood today : /

Parent

i'm not ^^. I dont diss america though, i like it that they take the lead & put all the money & effort into it.

Parent

Good you realize that - not only in their military but in so many other areas. I was in Jamaica in January and I was acquainted with a radiologist who was able to enlighten me about a few things he knows in his profession. Of course the classic Canada vs USA healthcare system came up, but we also discussed USA's initiative and how much money they invest into innovation. Someone incredibly smart creates the invention/thought/creation using multiple resources, then after all that hard work it gets easier and easier to copy and also much less expensive. I guess someone has to take that first step in order to not be at a standstill (goes for many different things)

Parent

Im not sure if "taking the lead" is a good thing when you look at this. http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Parent

If debt is what it takes, think about if a nation didn't take the initiative to create vaccinations/drugs for simple viruses - usa has the power to do that and of course a virus changes and adapts as time goes on. They do the primary research, the stuff that's time consuming and costly and allow other countries to use their work to make copies of it for cheap.

Parent

There are plenty of research facilities outside of the USA that have done some spectacular things when it comes to vaccinations, based on their own findings and what not and they dont have the highest debt in the world :-)

Parent

move to Europe

Won't work, just let sleeping dogs lie.

Time for Torrent to make his grand comeback??????????

SURE HOPE NOT
