With the recent rise from the community regarding the format of Enemy Territory and its future, Clanbase was quick to revive the once prestigious "
Enemy Territory 6on6 Stopwatch Ladder". With that announcement came a host of teams (more than 30) registering/signing themselves up to compete in the ladder within 10 days of the ladder revival.
The ladder once hosted some of Enemy Territory's most exciting teams including the likes of
Idle, 
Skit Evil, Stronger than Hate etc. Back then it was considered a major achievement to be contending for that shiny golden ladder pictured next to your clan name.
With the recent revival comes a loss, with records of the old ladder including some of those names/teams mentioned above being erased from the glorious past. It seems that with the switch from 6v6 to 5v5 the ladder was deleted and so be it the teams, the reports, the scores! But its now time for the future and just recently Clanbase crowned its new 6on6 Ladder Champions. A team that is well renowned having members who have won prestigious tournaments such as Eurocup, a team that illustrates the newschool touch of the game and the ladder. That team is none other thanKRP!
Supski were quick to pounce with the announcement of the ladder and were the 1st to be crowned Number 1. Heading into this match they had announced a new lineup, a lineup consisting of predominantly fresh new upcoming British talent and were promised a fair match by KRP, a team known to have numerous lineup(s) depending on the opponent. In what was a pretty close match it was the more experienced Finnish side of KRP which managed to take the victory.
Now all that is remain to be seen is how longKRP can hold on to their Number 1 Spot. Can they beat the amazing 7 day Number 1 Spot record held by Supski? Will some of the game's Big Hitters such as TAG or Queens enter the ladder and challenge the almighty Finns? Only time will tell!

ladder
??
pokemon?

10k'd krp on missile sup/soup?
koop10k rolling hard!!!!!
Not really, but its true that people cared a bit more than these days.
maybe because you have no clue about teams or how prestigious ladder has been yet you write about it like you'd know everything. Also the history has not been lost.. its all under 5v5 ladder. And skit and sth as the most exciting teams? :D Wtf
besides that nicely written ROSS keep it up! :)
You say it wasnt prestigious yet i remember Skit whining like crazy when STH wouldnt play a decider. If it wasnt that important then a draw would have been accepted. Players used to write paragraphs for match reports too. Dont pretend like you never gave a crap about the ladder either, cos i know i did and i came around a bit after the "good times". Challenging STH for the number 1 spot with EU was so worthwhile and a great achievement at the time.
You pick apart a newspost that was intended just to be informative. Spend your time doing something more constructive.
And if you disagree, go find a ladder, go back to the opening 12 months of a game and check out the match reports of the top players, see whether people really didnt give a shit or whether they were actually filled with flame from the losing side for reasons X Y Z that they actually cared about.
oh god those were golden years... :')
as far as the rest goes, lol?
i chose to comment on this one particular thing, as it was something quick to point out.
u cant make conclusions of someone saying nothing since there can be thousands of different reasons for it
also i surely havent "whined years about 5on5"
:D
Im pretty sure most started off playing ladders and it was some sort of achievement, due to it being considered as an official. It did have some prestige and i dont care what ppl say, if you were a clan and you were playing in the ladder you played to win. Being number 1 was an achievement and i wish it was still considered like that.
Once you get to the top or you reach that goal, its never as "prestigious" as you probably thought it would be when you first had that achievement in mind. In fact i celebrated beating Dignitas in EC 8-0 more than i did winning Lan. Back in the golden days, when you 1st started playing officials Ladders were probably one of the main highlights. For me, watching SKIT vs STH was fascinating but today there is no emphasis on ladders or even Eurocup for that matter, its just another league/tournament where you can see some of the better players play.
News was slow so i thought id write something with regards to the scene. There is no reason why ladders cant be highlights or achievements anymore. Its unlikely that they will ever be like the "golden times" but a bit of publicity can go a long way!

Ok it has a high prize pot, but i guarantee that it reaches maximum signups and it will be enjoyable to watch/play
1) KRP has never won a EuroCup
2) most of the KRP guys were playing ET when you were still learning to walk
3) it was never considered much of an achievement, it was all about
4) KRP, a team known to have numerous lineup(s) depending on the opponent ||| depends on the opponent only when we're playing vs OC opponents (we dont ask d. ppl) and on hate-games [when it comes to rolling
