ESL 3on3 Country Championship

image: 3ccqqz22
It is time to write a new page in the Enemy Territory history as Electronics Sports League decided to host their very first nations cup this year, in the 3on3 format! A lot of players contacted us to host this competition and we have finally decided to make it possible so that players enjoy our league even more! You can also find more details in the special ESL Country Championship newspost that we have created!

UPDATE #2

57 teams signed up so far and there are only 48 hours left till we close the signups and we start the first stage - the qualifiers! Hurry up and sign up if you still want to represent your country!

20 countries have teams in this first edition of the Country Championship! It's still not too late to signup!

Finland/Belgium/Germany/Netherlands/France/United Kingdom/Estonia/Sweden/Poland
Hungary/Austria/Slovenia/Romania/Czech Republic/Iceland/Canada/Chile/United States of America/Australia
and El Salvador!

The first stage of the tournament is based on qualifiers for each nation where only 1 team / nation will qualify into the Groupstage! Everyone can participate in the qualifiers so what are you waiting for? Create a team and sign up!

We ask players to create a special team for this competition as we will only allow teams to have maximum 6 players in it. In order to control this, we will lock the teams that signed up, so you won't be able to add other players after the qualifier has started! ESL Admins will also help you with creating teams! Click here to see a guide on how to create a team!

As for the nationality issue, we have decided that for countries where there are few players, those that have the country nationality but are not living in it will be allowed to play in this Country Championship! More information about this and about the competition can be found in the special ESL Country Championship newspost!

Beach, erden and base :))
Nice news and good luck to everyone!
A second 6on6 NC would be nice where twoo people of the first NCteam are allowed for the second and the rest 5-6 spots are for newsqooler , so maybe player like be come also into a NC feeling :X

Massive flame on!
this idea doesnt work for smaller countries
Parent
thats true but maybe some other ideas , maybe country who didnt reached playoffs can play with 4 or full 6 of first team :) something like that , its just a idea ^^

im sue rules could be like : countrys like Hungrary Romania spain etc. Main team , Countrys like Germany , Finnland , Netherlands , Belgium and more more bla bla , only 2 player nstuff ^^
Parent
Crossfire is working at such a system in the new Draft cup. Let's see how that goes.. ;)
Parent
the point of NC isn't for the less good players to get a chance, it's for the strongest team to get a chance in order to take the nation to victory.. I hope your idea NEVER happens in 6on6 NC.

a) it will not get interest from spectators, people can make comments all day long but without allstars nobody will be interested in watching (it's important).
b) why spoonfeed people? work hard and prove you're worthy of the team and you'll get in, look at Kevji, kiwi, boNg, etc. and all of the old AoW guys. prove you're good and they let you in team germany.
Parent
It was just an idea ... dont worry mate... its the same as happend with that shit 3on3 NC with 95908375 teams of each nation ;)
Parent
haha , this one should be hosted by clanbase :-D
when is your ban @esl ending?
Parent
expires on 20/04/12
Parent
Sad because it expires? :D
Parent
feel bad for them tbh :P
Parent
why dont u use support ticket and ask for reviving your ban issue?
http://www.esl.eu/pl/faq/complaint/#/pl/support/
Parent
for what?:P no proofs that we were cheating and he wont unban us anyway . Some guys just cant accept that they failed and you cant do anything with this :-)
Parent
This protest will be taken by higher admin(not Foamea) and having no proofs is just a big plus.
Parent
NO BRAUNDORF NO WIN
oh those fps....

Parent

Parent
Québec isn't legally in Canada. And was declared to be a 'distinct nation' by the prime minister, Harper himself.
Parent
distinct nation as in it has its own culture , never in the political aspect

I've been playing in CB for like 5 years and never been banned there, even when killerboy had rage on me. btw get normal face and muscles u skinny nerd.
Parent
i have to agree with this.. these admins are banning people without any reasons.. reminding the jaN case

QuoteThe first stage of the tournament is based on qualifiers for each nation where only 1 team / nation will qualify into the Groupstage! Everyone can participate in the qualifiers so what are you waiting for? Create a team and sign up!


Why would you do that?

Some nations (like Poland, Germany, Finland) could probably field 2 or even 3 LU's that could contest for the Pocal, while other nations won't even stand a chance with their best team. This rule makes no sense really, but ok gl with the cup its a good initiative, but a bad rule.
in games like CoD/CS I'm sure they could field around 8 strong lineups per nation, it doesn't mean more than 1 per nation should qualify to the 5on5 groups/playoffs =] it's to save stupid things like seeing 2 same nations in the final, takes the thrill away from the NC aspect which was always "my country is better than yours."

e: also it should force people to play actively to ensure they are the ones to qualify =P
Parent
Imo the final should be between the two best 3vs3 teams around, doesnt matter if they're from the same country.
And you're dragging the lvl of competition down drasticly by only allowing 1 team per nation, wich makes the cup way less interesting.

Worse teams (or not as much strong teams) => more 'bad' opponents for the better teams => lower performance overall (playing vs low teams doesnt make u motivated/better) => less intense games => less interest overall (players + specs) etc etc etc
Parent
Qualifiers are meant to make a competition have only strong teams in it...
The 1 team / nation issue was already discussed when CB needed 2 more teams to make their NC. Search it up!
Parent
My whole point is that you're removing a lot of strong teams (again, poland , finland, germany,...) by doing those qualifiers and there will be more 'low' teams from the less skilled countrys, who'll get raped in group stage anyway.

And I don't see how your second point is related to any of this...
Parent
There will be an European Qualifier for countries that have only 1 team/nation.
Also, there will be a PL/DE/FI qualifier in order to get the strongest team that the country can provide.

My second point was meant to show you why your idea won't work.
Parent
I'm quite sure you don't understand my point
Parent
I understand it man!
I just want to assure you that I have all figured out and we'll have a lot of skilled teams, even though there won't be 2 teams/nations ! ;)
Parent
it already worked at homers 3on3 nc ?
Parent
fuck me, I have to agree with stray
Parent
Don't see why if u get enough signups from each nation, 2 teams can qualify from each nation. Homers cup worked really well tbh.
Parent
did something happen in the last months or where from do them all strong teams come from? :D
Parent
I have no idea, I'm not active at all, but as I see a lot of nerds playing on gtv, there's no doubt some country's could provide 2-3 teams that could all fight for a top 5 spot.
And I'm quite sure some ppl would want to try and get 3 players just for this cup, but with this format they probably won't and if they do, the qualifiers will be more interesting than the cup itself (only the latter stages might get interesting).
Parent
like last NC was huge success :P
Parent
Love ya but disagree, last nc for 3on3 they allowed each country to have multiple teams (granted it was only more for the ones that have a bigger et community) like germany, finland, netherlands etc and the cup didn't get very many viewers, if i recall the final was like pulling teeth to get it played. Having multiple teams from the same country takes away from the excitement of nc imo - like someone else mentioned above it's like trying to prove you're a better nation so it kind of takes away from that.
Parent
if I recall correctly the final was rescheduled twice because one time Joshua's internet went down on the day it was going to be played, and shortly after that s1LENT's computer stopped working, not much you can do about that.
Parent
QuoteImo the final should be between the two best 3vs3 teams around, doesnt matter if they're from the same country.


This obviously has nothing to do with a nationscup then, more like opencup
Parent
this is 3on3 though... check what Homer did last time, trying to say it was bad idea?
Parent
who cares if it's 3on3? explain the difference to me, is it that there are obviously more skilled 3on3 teams per country than 5on5 teams?
Parent
more skilled 3on3 teams with players from one country than 5on5/6on6
Parent
so from your logic, in CS and CoD4 NationsCups there should be more than one team per nation? because of the activity in that game the amount of top teams and stuff is pretty large so, I guess they should follow this method? no they shouldn't, that's why it shouldn't be followed in 3on3. 1 nation = 1 team. that team gets to prove themselves in the qualifier and shit nations won't make it through groupstages, just like in 6on6 NC.
Parent
wont participate with turkey myself. if anyone else wants to do so np ;)

gl with the cup!
gj

gl all :P i hope u change the max teams / per nation / atleast 2 :P
Nope, not gonna happen i guess
Parent
shit then :D
Parent
Sounds like you know already you cant win other german 3v3 teams with stray and mental :D

(kresti gr0ss silent) for example
Parent
gonna be np with other lu :P
Parent
Shitcup because only 1 team per country, NL/FI/DE needs two teams to have a decent competition :)
Parent
Who are you gonna play with btw?
Parent
ya "np"


:D!

Wished ESL had the balls to leave supply or goldrush out for once, add some other maps:

te_escape2: played it once but dunno why its never in any tournament, better than half of these maps for 3o3.
why not leaving out adler ? the only map you can play :/
Parent
Frostbite, ufo, escape, beach, base.

Would be a nice mappool if 99% of 3o3 players werent sd/gr/deli only.
Parent
+1 about maps

cup admins are faggots for not changing the map pool once in a while.
Parent
Shitpants will be shitpants :<
Parent
only 1 team per nation? what kind of crap is that, so if Romania fields 3 low guys they get in and if Netherlands fields 2 high teams and 1 team with saKen only 1 will play? bullshit, look how Homer did it and learn
They have already decided it so be prepared to see some thrilling games in the groupstage....
Parent
you will be surprised to see that it doesn't work like that then :)
Parent
Why on earth I can already imagine teamNL playing vs team<insertshitcountryhere> in groupstage? :P
Parent
None of the teams that signed up are qualified directly into the groupstage! Every country that has more than 2 teams signed up will go into qualifiers first. Even if a country has only 1 team, that team will also go into an european qualifier!
Parent
doesn't make it less stupid, what Homer did worked out just fine, why not follow it?

oh also, that banner is SHIT :D
Parent
The difference between what Homer did and what I'm doing is that I'm doing a Nationscup not an OpenCup with teams that have players from the same country only.
Parent
bitch, u crazy
Parent
because its a nationscup?
why not do the same with 6on6 NC?
or maybe even better just let the big ET nations play !!

its the same in sports ;)
Parent
in sports Israel plays in Europe
Parent
u got my point?
Parent
yeah, you're trying to make it easier for Austria, u scared
Parent
u know austria was 2nd in rest of europe quali last year 3on3 NC?
so i dont rly get your point
Parent
so now you try to make it easier for Austria
Parent
Don't argue with that guy, he's from poland.
Parent
don't blame poland for his way of thinking :P

tbh the only ones that are "quite" active here on cf :S
Parent
most likely be dongo, midas and pedro/im_constructing. They are not that active on CF posting wise but they do lurk here.
Parent
true, btw do you know if NZ also counts in for Australia? oh and nice Draft cup you guys organized, cool to see that the australian community is still alive :)
Parent
Yeah we include the NZ guys in everything and there are probably 8 or so decent players from NZ playing in the draft cup. Also chrisis (also from NZ) might be shoutcasting some games that are early enough (featured in the opening sequence of mo*vindication).

Also thanks, I've given Volta the reigns for the cup and he has done a great job so far!
Parent
So, where are those highskilled Ireland micks?

ET CC 2012 Sign Ups 3on3 : Members
36 Members

was expecting more signups to be honest :\
indeed expected like 5 teams from gr/nl/pl/uk/fi
Parent
yeah, pretty sad :f afaik people wanted 3on3 NC and when ESL tries to do something, people suddenly do not care about it.
Parent
well I guess most of the teams are cba to signup, cause only 1 team can pass the quali from every country
Parent
they scared of [DRAAKJES] bro
Parent
People don't want to sign up if they know they won't pass the group stage anyway.
Parent
7 german teams!!!

even butchji drago and hazer/weak/snoop (dunno there 3rd) are playin!
Parent
drago Blade me
Parent
why don't you update the title every hour?
i guess it would take too much time
Parent
Das wage ich zu bezweifeln!
Parent
war auch ironisch gemeint ;-)
Parent
Dies wage ich ebenfalls zu bezweifeln!
Parent
need someone to carry me and lettu, we havent rly played or plan on playing/praccing and likely will not be qualifying but lets give it a try eh? :) #et-finland
got error so fuck that.
what error?
Parent
something about 2on2 league & too much players.
Parent
Too much players is because we've restricted the maximum amount of players in a team to 6.
About 2on2 leagues error, I guess you are saying that you're getting the error "Player_already_in_league" which means that someone else from your team signed up with another team.

Give me the link to your team and tell me your line-up for this competition and I'll clear it out for you.
Parent
Create a new team and add the players you want to play with in it... :)
Or tell me what's your line-up and I will remove the problematic players...
Parent
nah, no need. dont want to kick anyone. Just silly rule!
Parent
It's not silly. You only need 3 players to play in 3on3 so why would you need more than 6 ?
I want to help you but it seems that you don't wanna play in this 3on3 CC after all so whatever man...
Parent
Creating new or sub team for one cup seems a bit stupid in my opinion. Wouldn't it be easier if you just create a section in the team like you can create groups in cb and then add some rules to that section instead.
Parent
users are stupid, system is fine ;)
Parent
Users are lazy, system needs some improvement. ;)
Parent
ESL system is based on creating a new account for each cup you enter.. same with EMS and such, ET is pretty much the only game that doesn't do it far as I've seen
Parent
Since people are used to having just one team for everything so they could just sign up and they are done with that process.
Parent
Creating a section in the team = sub-teams -> already available, although you can't switch the users from the main team to the subteam without telling them to click join on the subteam.

Creating teams exactly for a cup/ladder etc makes it more easier for players and it comes with an error free package ! :)
Parent
hm... it says i didn't got 3 members with right location + tzac,
checked both and it's correct, so what?
it says: One of the members in your team already plays for another team in this league !

cant be possible since we should be the only italian team...
You are added!
Parent
actually there are 2 italian teams, but my team is not shown in the list... wtf!?
Parent
hey FoaMeA , my friend Spartacus is asking me why u no add his team ? :S
because he's your friend
Parent
i hate you! why are you destroying my life?
Parent
Why dont I see my team in the sign up list?
Country: CH ????
Parent
Because atm I live in switzerland...
I was captain of team italy this nationscup, so I am definitively italian
Look at players in the list: italian national team - Xylos,Vjto + jolly
Parent
if I am the problem, I can drop out of the team, I was going to manage only, since the other 5 are much stronger than me
Parent
I needed to know exactly ;)
