The summer came to an end and with that a new season of EuroCup starts. Last week the Clanbase staff announced the EuroCup invites and qualifiers, a bit of drama came up with the announcement, and what does this community like more than a bit of drama now and then? 
Kamz decided not to play this season because he wasn't satisfied with a qualifier only so with this we lost 
colt.45 already.

Yesterday the first qualifier was played, a match between erAse.et and bSTURZ. The battlefields for the first round of the qualifiers are Supply and Bremen. bSTURZ full held erAse.et in Bremen and after that they won with a time of 8:41. Supply was the second map bSTURZ started off with setting a time of 8:14, erAse.et wasn't able to beat that. it meant that bSTURZ took the first victory in this EuroCup.
Tonight we have 4 qualifiers coming up, a game between sereNity (evolved from EUNd) versus Echelon and a game between In Ya Ass and encrypt both at 21.00 CEST. After that devilry versus #sticked.et at 21:30 and the last game will be between 
Chickens With Guns and TAG. As I said the maps are going to be Bremen and Supply and if it comes to a decider the traditional elimination rules will be followed.

Cupra couldn't say anything about his predictions on the maps, 'top-secret' is all he could say. One thing is sure, sereNity surely has the pro gaming attitude.

Predictions by
CWG vs TAG:
This should be a very easy game for TAG as they have by far the more skilled and experienced line-up. Both teams also have played together for a long time already (at least the core of line-ups) so that doesn’t bring CWG any advantage. 4-0 for TAG
devilry vs sticked:
Sticked surprised many teams last ESL season by beating Jungle Brothers line-up featuring many star players. Devilry hasn't been doing that bad either and they already have experience from multiple EC seasons. I would expect this to be a very equal game and it could go either way. I'm predicting that devilry will manage to turn this game around and win it 4-2
IYA vs encrypt:
IYA's line-up has the big advantage when it comes to individual skills and experience, but on the other hand encrypt has been playing together for ages with almost no changes. encrypt might be able to surprise and win a map with their team play, but I think that IYA should still be able to win this one pretty clearly. 4-0 or 4-2 for IYA
sereNity vs Echelon: Just looking at the linkups I'd say that this one goes clearly for Echelon, but from what I've seen sereNity has been doing really well and are certainly an underrated team. This game could go either way, but Echelon still is the favourite for this one in my papers. Anyway I'm predicting that sereNity will surprise and take a 4-2 victory

gl gays i know (koop nohead hvk tomoyo etc)
kiss kiss
going lan?
would go to lan if I had the money and time though just to meet guys :)
no :P the lineup written in the newspost was theor POSSIBLE lineup like a month ago, chry and Jere were no longer members by the time they signed up to EC.
still on paper and .. based on how the scene were back when I played, id prefer colt45 over pdeg. and yeah I know the scene now isnt the same etc etc :(
when talking to guys like Feuersturm, who pretty much quit competitive playing in 2005.. who do you think he rates as talented? surely guys like replicator, darkie, potter blabla etcetc and to him ECs must have looked dead in 2007 when the rest of the community (current community, that is) look at those times like the golden age of ET. it's all the perspective we've grown to have because all of those players featured in movies like Zaigon, ET Allstars, This is ET and Requiem. imagine guys like kresti, subbi, koop, mind, xperia, phyzic, lampje, aphesia, baggiez, chry, zak, jere, flopjehz and many other who have proven in matches that they are able to compete on a top level, imagine they featured in multiple allstar movies and such, the entire low-level community (always the majority) would be convinced they are the best players around.
it's all some shit in the mind of these players, like if butchji, mystic, snoop and raziel started playing actively over the next year they would shit on the current scene. it's total bullshit and you can see that by the attempted comebacks over the years by many older top players d:
Also this is wrong
That is not the reason. It is the procedure that was used that has disappointed me.
hardly life of et :d
You have € 250 on ceWEge
You won € 2440
Second thing, why isn't colt45 replaced by some OC prem team?
So he didn't agree on how the invitees were selected.

only on internets man
But we both know the truth :(
Keep it up!
(That's what she said ;-))
cWg FOR THE WIN! HOMO'S!
