GOOD MATCH IN EUROCUP

"ICELAND: NO SERVER UK NO WIN"

UK SERVER= 2-0 GOLDRUSH FOR ICELAND
(CHILE 300 PING vs 80 PING ICELAND)

USA SERVER= 2-2 SUPPLY FOR CHILE
(CHILE 210 PING VS ICELAND 190 PING)

UK SERVER IN BREMEN (VOTE COINTOSS SERVER) =
4-2 ICELAND (CHILE 300 PING vs 80 PING ICELAND)
2 weeks for 1 matchweek lol :P

On a side note, NC was announced like 2 months ago and for teams like us the cup takes toooooo long. we were formed and somehow motivated on January, now we're tired of waiting for proper games, which will start in 2 weeks I guess :P
(a good excuse for us to lose in 2nd round lol :D)
prac hard or go home!
Parent
you got fail lower bracket formula... according to the one in "Rules".

and i'm not sure but looks like you've changed upper bracket formula in this week :P
http://clanbase.ggl.com/rules.php?lid=13009#chap_1659

What exactly did we do wrong? The point is for nations who were in the same group in the Groupstage to be on different sides of the brackets in the Playoffs.
Parent
In LB from "rules" winner of loosers from #1 and #2 should play against from looser from #11 and in your bracket its #9 instead of #11 :P
It means that teams that play against each other in 1st round of WB could play again in 2nd round of LB.
that means LB will be more predictable and boring and some teams just have no chances to play against each other before LB/WB final.
Parent
jesus christ, just shut up . It has always been the same.
Parent
i didn't wrote to you. no need to read it.
Parent
Then why wrote it in a forum? Go PM the one you wrote it to.
Parent
he asked here so I answered here.
Parent
think he meant that in rules it says this:
http://www.bilder-upload.eu/show.php?file=79fc59-1361362560.jpg

and now LB is different
Parent
Where's Canada?
holy shit, still bragging?
Parent
still mad? :)
and as u can see he asked where u are in this NC and i showed him where
Parent
it looks like bragging to me, because you didn't show links to canada losing vs Isreal & NL :P
Parent
hmmm true but after the loss vs NL = expected one and the loss against us ...
even monkey didnt play ... so i cant make him mad posting the other matches :)
Parent
so it is bragging ^^
Parent
"so i cant make him mad posting the other matches :)"

you are posting the aut vs canada match to annoy your opponent, it's bragging :P
Parent
to annoy anyone and to praise myself are 2 different things
Parent
and no offence against ca but to win against this lineup is nothing u can brag about
Parent
he played actually :D
Parent
Myself and Voice can probably cover a match or two, are there any people would particularly like to see?
Belgium vs Czech Republic!

or France-Estonia or USA-Sweden :P
Parent
france estonia
Parent
Would be funny to have a shoutcast from Poland's loss against Iceland!
Parent
FRA EST and BE CZ
Parent
FRA vs. EST and POL vs. ISL :XD
Parent
fra vs est (by far the best game this matchweek) and be vs cz are the more skilled games, usa vs sweden is probably a good match if you like to watch noobs fight over a bone that already belongs to uk
Parent
who and who? what?
Parent
You're talking as if I should know who you are, yet I got fuck all clue what you're on about.
Parent
they been casting rtcw games with warwitch and since some ppl were nice and got enough viewers they decided (I guess) to cast some ET games, you could probably better stfu and be greatful instead of trying to be a dick and pretend you are someone
Parent
Was an honest question on my part, has nothing to do with being a dick. Take that stick out of your ass, bro.
Parent
you can ask it in a good way, yet you didn´t ...you rather act like the usual crossfire kid from which this community is known for and then no wonder why no1 does nothing nice for this game
Parent
If I was being "the usual crossfire kid" I would have asked him who the fuck he was, but I didn't. Now go bother someone else, fucking druggie.
Parent
"who and who? what?"
"You're talking as if I should know who you are, yet I got fuck all clue what you're on about."
Is not nice, also you prove me right by acting like the usual kid and now call me a druggie , Mr. keyboard badazz, keep going moron
Parent
There's a really big difference between being a dick and not being nice.

I have no reason to be nice to him because I dont know him. Thats why Im neutral towards him.
Im being a dick to you because you stick your coke filled nose in business that isnt yours. Not everyone is nice, welcome to the world.
Parent
Your second comment made you look like a right prick, why not be nice instead of immediately confrontational in future.
Parent
Ok let me rephrase, those 2 sentences made you look like a dick, also the rest of your comments did as well. I don´t really have a problem with you calling me druggie or coke sniffer, after all you are just a kid and you keep proving me right. Should i feel offended? Whats next? "cu at LAN?" , you should not tell me "welcome to the world" I think you mean "welcome to crossfire". Also it is my business as I do enjoy the casts and people like you and your stupid comments is what took crossfire and Et to its current state.
Parent
Thanks for the support mate, just doing it because we enjoy it and, despite being RTCW players really, still want to support ET when we can!
Parent
;) np, Its rlly fun to watch et on stream and hear you guys cast, as I cant rlly install it or play it anymore so its the only way around.
Parent
Okay guys, we will definitely be covering France vs Estonia and possibly one other match if we have time. Idle #shoutcastcollective if you can too please!
why you guys cant accept that this game is dead :~<
it's not dead yet
Parent
it took a whole day for someone to reply my comment...

its dead!
Parent
by 'accept' you mean we should all stop playing? :3
Parent
and do what instead? :P play LoL?

I played ET all these years because I enjoyed it, so long as there are opponents I'll continue to play 8)
Parent
this game is dead and are no longer supported.
if you focus your energy on a different game, you might advance there.
Parent
I don't wanna advance in games like LoL/SC2 (those definitely require like 6h/day for months before people start to improve, not interested in that).

there is no other decent "new" FPS to move to either so ET/RtCW is the only one I'm interested in atm ;-)
Parent
if i took all the time i play et and put it into studying, i would be a fucking CCIE by now D:
Parent
possibly, but gaming is about enjoyment and there aren't many people in the world who spend ALL their leisure time studying ;P
Parent
fine, but enjoy a different game because this one is dead!
Parent
people are playing et all the time =d pretty far from dead imo.
Parent
the game died few years ago.
i honored the game by quitting it, because we must move on.

when ppl keep playing it, its only delaying the inevitabile
Parent
when you say it died you mean ET stopped being an interest in eSports or what? :P

ET doesn't die until people stop playing, there's like 350 3on3 offis on the CB ladder in the last 30 days and warchannels are active enough too ;o what more do you want
Parent
I want more 6on6 ODC's!
Parent
time to start a life and stop gaming, u prolly wasted enough years here
Parent
I've spent years on ET yes, but I don't spend 24/7. that's why I can maintain a life and also have time for gaming.

I guess you approach gaming differently and therefore become stuck at home all the time if you feel like playing X game(s).
Parent
idd, i dont game alot ( once a month) but if i do, i game the whole day
Parent
why are you commenting here then? Guess you didnt accept it either retard. Do ppl feel badazz for saying this over and over again? I wonder..
Parent
this website is a community forum.

your argument would be valid, if i wrote that in-game 8D
Parent
ye but tbh I dont see anything else here except et-related stuff...or 95% of it?
Parent
i dont know.

never calculate it :s
Parent
maybe not the newest game or best graphic, but it still gives the best experience :D
when ur browsing the net and i come across comments like this and u simply just want to like them but realise u cant like them u have to comment u know the site ur on sucks balls :D anyways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDI6HTR9arA this song is more than awsome listen and prosper :D haha
Parent
blackmill, one of my fav *o*
