Cup Format

The 27th edition of the ET EuroCup will have the same format as last season with 4 direct invites and 16 qualifiers.

The Groupstage will feature a total of 16 teams divided into 4 groups of 4 teams each. Two teams from each group will advance to the Playoffs to compete with each other in a double-elimination style bracket.

Qualifier teams will be placed in pools. Each group will consist of one team from each pool.

The 4 directly invited teams will be placed in Pool 1.

The 16 qualifier teams will be split up into 8 pairs for the first round of matches, producing 8 winning teams and 8 losing teams.

The 8 winners will be split up into 4 pairs for another round of matches. The 4 winners of these matches will proceed to Pool 2 while the 4 losers proceed to Pool 3.

The remaining 8 teams who initially lost the first matches will be split up into 4 pairs as well for their second round of matches. The 4 winners will proceed to Pool 4, and the 4 losers will drop out of the EuroCup and join the Premier League of the ET 6on6 OpenCup Spring 2013.

Parent

Parent
ye i beg teams to take me, noone ever pmed me
Parent
team pl too low for the invite :x

gl to all!
what scatman said
bF :)))))) <3
maybe add lu's of the other teams aswell, with the hide tag.
I have two questions:
archers.pl - who? line up please

3on3 OC
UB @ 2nd division. haaha. I know they dont really win against the stongerst opponents, but they played premier before and they own one of the most stable lineups, playing together for long time (anyway if gtv is full of "omg we dont pracc we gonna lose" bs.)... so why arent they playing premier? I think they are more worthy compared to some of the premier l. participants.

I always belived reliable and skilled teams are meant to play top/premier divisions, not trash who registed two months ago. You break my little dream.

Jawohl
man archers famous clan 2nd ec last season (almost)
Parent
you mean that weird devilry lineup, right?
Parent
half of that weird devilry lineup + stars.et !
Parent
I have no idea about ET-TOP since 2010/11 :( only s1LENT is known for me and some other I saw in this season's team-poland... Didnt want to flame the remaining players, guess you are better than the most if you recived quali
Parent
Poland Abject, Poland Czarek, Poland olas, Germany s1LENT, Poland Voodoo, Poland WuT

wasn't sure about UB's 3on3 lineup at first but I'll adjust the groups accordingly now

no hate intended towards the HUN guys!
Parent
Guess its same as 8bits, varadi sebi powy
e: Didn't think you hate them or anyone else. I was curious..
Parent
on what grounds do royalblood and encrypt deserve a qualifier and not supski?
encrypt even get a lineup sorted? They only had 2 players last week :D
Parent
ye last I heard hvk was building a lineup with m1ke and royal blood seem to get an invite every season and end up either dropping out or getting a mix :D ... Wanna play mc?
Parent
No way brother. Getting ready for WRESTLEMANIA
Parent
:O enjoy it!
Parent
PM stream pls! :(
Parent
so fucking true actually :-D
Parent
dropping out?
Parent
royal blood had me and potty playing last ec thats why
Parent
names, its all about names like always ^^ u should know that allready
Parent
On what grounds do supski royalblood and encrypt deserve a qualifier?
Parent
because we good! nah but seriously we would have played some offis to prove ourself if we could have, so I guess it's only fair!
Parent
both teams deserved a qualifier last season and deserve one this season as well

Royalblood has a far more stable lineup than supski does

either way, if a team drops out then we will certainly consider giving supski an EC quali
Parent
encrypt has 3 players as of last week... How is that "deserved"?
Parent
please explain why you feel supski deserves an invite so much, besides the fact that you're friends with them
Parent
I am sorry, but at what point did I say they deserved one?
Parent
so you're simply arguing for the sake of arguing then?
Parent
FUK U SUPRKSI BEST OKRAI???
Parent
I am simply saying that how on earth you can justify giving a team a qualifier who only last week had 3 members left to fill in their main lineup.

http://www.crossfire.nu/threads/46714/splendid-gaming-need-3
Parent
I was aware that they were still searching for 6 players, but I'm also aware that there are a few other teams without 6 yet

if a team won't play then they will be replaced, simple as that
Parent
Therefore how do you explain where they earnt their right for their "deserved" EC quali?
Parent
not sure what kind of answer you're looking for

just felt they were a better option than the alternatives
Parent
replace with enhanced imo. if timbolina can play EC, so can embarrassed.
Parent
No offence but last season rB proved they were not EC worthy at all, gentlemen is also not really worh it yet and I doubt encrypt got a lineup sorted yet nor they have the skill for it
Parent
how exactly did RoyalBlood prove that?

which teams would you replace those 3 teams with?
Parent
Loosing every single match 4-0 and not even one map at least a little close
http://www.gamestv.org/team/5044-royalblood/

Probably sticked, lost, mysterious monkeys/inspiron as replacements
Parent
so losing 4-0 to teams like Decerto, TAG, and Loca means they are "not EC worthy at all"?

lost was given an EC quali in case you didn't notice, sticked requested OC and hasn't played for months, inSpiron also hasn't played for a while

just because it's not possible to write a 3-page essay with reasons for a team deserving an EC quali does not mean there are better teams to replace them with
Parent
They are oc premium worthy (at best) and quite the whole community except you kinda knows that, encrypt members have been rather inactive than the inspiron ones, before both teams went inactive in 6on6 this was the outcome: http://www.gamestv.org/event/35596-inspiron-vs-encrypt/ , sticked was always rather based on a great teamplay than on indivual skills, I doubt they lost that + last autumn/winter they also played a decent EC season (so why don't you talk to them? where is the point in placing EC worthy teams in OC). The last match between Mysterious Monkeys and a team of the qualifier teams was quite close: http://www.gamestv.org/event/38400-mysterious-monkeys-vs-erase-et-runo-3/ but in the meantime erase slightly improved and mysterious monkeys improved a lot and both got stable lineups. And why did you choose to directly invite atoon? They're nothing but a mix team and turboapinat or tMoe show stability and the skill for a direct invitation. And have you ever seen greejtsjot playing a 6on6 with their actual lineup? All the do is playing 3on3 all day long and a few cup 6on6s with high skilled mercs
Parent
cause sticked all stopped ET for like 6 months, and they just want to play it for fun. And it's not the same lineup than before even tho Provok still doing sneaky actions all the time
Parent
sorry, next season we'll let you decide the invites & qualifiers
Parent
haha :) u knew there wud be much whine after u posted this ;) anyways gj
Parent
why are we a "mix?" every new team is should be called a mix then :D
Parent
You don't practice, your lineup is a lot different than last season
Parent
why you say we dont practice? :D you know nothing btw :P

and ofc lu is a lot different :)
Parent
You said it yourself that it'll be an offi only team
Parent
it isnt :)
Parent
Well, then I've got nothing to say against your direct invitation :p
Parent
Well... Can you really consider rznje and xAe as high skilled mercs ? That's a question I have never found an answer to yet.

By the fact that we've played a few 6o6s cups and praccs during the last month, it makes us more active than any other teams (except for this erase guys, nerds :SsS). For the teams you ask as replacements, they are either inactive comebacks or a new formed team (lost for exemple), therefore they are nowhere as good as they used to be once, just sayin' ;)

BOOM, Buzzer, from his open space office!
Parent
BOOM OPEN SPACE OFFICE BITCH
Parent
Wow you are almost as annoying as I am. Shut the fuck up already.
Parent
No offence but I really wouldn't call erase even with mysterious monkeys, 13k more damage playing with a merc and setting a 1:48 time in Missile isn't really even imo. We're so shit at Supply :<
Parent
They played surprisingly well and jester was 999 most of the time, don't judge what you don't see
Parent
cant be serious mM are worth replacement !
Parent
we're able to beat 3 or 4 teams there who are currently in the quali
Parent
Don't think so, otherwise you would get that invite.
Parent
like you were posting some older match, here you go http://www.gamestv.org/event/37292-mysterious-monkeys-vs-alliancze-red-team/

You improved past months, but still not EC worthy
Parent
That lineup just came togheter back then, now we are used to each other and refined our teamplay
Parent
royalBlood/UB/gentlemen are beatable for us, erase, effectus and lost are quite even. Who are disposable actually going to play with btw?
Parent
A secret lineup which rates themselves 5 and gets an EC invitation, great just great
Parent
Nah but i think its going to be the guys who played NC, not sure
Parent
Including you?
Parent
they didn't rate themselves anything because they signed up late and were added manually

you literally have no clue what you're talking about :P
Parent
How do you know rB are beatable? :D I don't recall playing you lately, i can be wrong though.
Parent
true, thats why we (gentlemen) didnt even want to have a qualifer :) but ok, now we got 1 so we'll try to do our best.
Parent
talked to timbolina and he was fine with it :P
Parent
hmm ok :) thought we said something else as team, but he is the captain !! :)
Parent
QuoteRoyalblood has a far more stable lineup than supski does

You can't possibly believe in that.
Parent
they've been competing in NC with the same 6-7 players for weeks and always show up for their games :)
Parent
I don't mean to hate, but I simply believe that there might be some teams who probably deserve it more (don't ask me which as I can't tell them by memory, I just recall seeing better teams but yet again, I might be wrong).
Anyways, congratulations on organizing everything almost alone. Despite of some disagreements between which teams should or shouldn't be in EC, you did a great job mate =)
Parent
fair enough, you are certainly free to believe whatever you'd like

thanks for the support, but I had some help from others as well!
Parent
And what would you know about that either?

Afaik you were the mad one complaining and planning some sort of riot before this NC started. Why? You though we wouldn't show up and we would forfeit the very first game. Turns out you were wrong. 0 forfeits, made it to playoffs and lost at LB 2.

But since you seem to know alot, i recommend you to go check GTV/CB, EuroCup and NationsCup and see the lineups, the forfeits, etc. Doesn't require a monkey to take a brilliant conclusion.
Also on a side note, you know are are not 18 like most of "you". People have responsibilities, work, studies, which reduces our availability. But with patience everything can be done. I leave university lesson at 23.30 (tuesday, wednesday and thursday), arrive home at 24, and i can still show up for games.

Cheers.
Parent
QuoteAlso on a side note, you know are are not 18 like most of "you".

It does require a monkey to take a brilliant conclusion out of that since it made no sense whatsoever.
I did check GTV, and Team Portugal won one single game against Team Russia (talking about Team Portugal since it's pretty much the same lineup). Curious George (look, it's a monkey!) came to the following conclusion: Not EC worthy.
It's not like I care though, just giving out my opinion and I'm 99.9% sure rB won't make it through the qualifiers. In case you're wondering, that 0.01% is getting forfeits all around.

Cheers.

Parent

Parent

AL1, chizz6l, crook, Gifted, Sup3r, uNDEAd
Parent
disposable and c 4 L eSport lineups?
disposable = team Sweden

c4L was supposed to be BuLL, xPERiA, etc. but I guess they aren't playing
Parent
supposed to be? when? there has never been any talk about this at all, who signed us up, jackie.. or bull ?
Parent
BuLL signed the team up, and I figured it would be similar to team NL

it's really quite annoying for someone to sign up without actually intending to play (not blaming you, just saying)
Parent
mad BuLL trying to top his countless ec 4th places in 1950?? :Ö
Parent
drama \o/
Keep it up hopefully will be a smooth one
EC should be with 8 Teams...

max 5 Teams on the same level :/
TOO MUCH ACTIVITY
Parent
GJ, altough i doubt group A of the qualifiers is any fair if you compare them to the rest. gonna be fucking impossible to get into ec this year:D
you dont deserve EC fucking lowfuck mongol mangol appelsin cock sucking horse dick. I hope you get assraped by all of those 3 possible teams. CU
Parent
