News
Forty-four days have gone by since CyberGamer EU Enemy Territory was officially launched. Over 650 matches have been played since then with a total of 150 teams currently enrolled in the 3on3 & 6on6 ladders. About two weeks ago, CGAC was updated in order to add support for ET. Now, it's time for some cups!
I'm happy to announce CyberGamer EU ET Season 1! Signups are now open and will remain open until Monday the 3rd of March.
Season 1 will run in two stages, starting with a league and followed by a tournament.
Stage 1: League
The first stage will be a league, which is sort of like an organized ladder and is similar to a Groupstage on ClanBase. Matches are played round robin style, meaning that all teams play versus each other once. There will be matchweeks with unscheduled matches being forced weekly. Teams are free to play their matches at an earlier or later date if both teams agree, but all matches must be played by the deadline.
We will run two leagues, one for each format. Teams will be split up into divisions based on skill level. The number of divisions and number of teams per division will depend on how many signups we get.
After all league matches have been played, the top x teams from each division will advance to the next stage.
Stage 2: Tournament
The second stage will be a tournament, just like the Playoffs on ClanBase. There will be several tournaments, one for each division in each league. The top x teams from each division will compete in the tournament.
We have not decided yet if the brackets will be single- or double-elimination, mostly because the CG website doesn't fully support double-elimination brackets at the moment. However, we will try to work something out to make double-elimination possible.
Once the tournaments are finished, Season 1 will be over. It should take less than three months from the start of Stage 1 to the end of Stage 2.
Once you have created a new team for the league, your team will automatically be added to the waiting pool. If for some reason that doesn't happen, simply visit the league page and click on "Join League". After signups close, we will take all teams in the waiting pool and split them up into the various divisions. Sorry for the inconvenience of being forced to create so many teams, but that is simply how CyberGamer works. The good news is that after this you shouldn't have to create any more teams for future CG EU ET cup seasons.
Please read the rules carefully before signing up!
To all those looking to participate or help out this season, thank you and good luck!

General Information
The first official ET cup season on CyberGamer EU will have two different formats: 3on3 and 6on6. We're doing our best to make things as familiar as possible, so it will be quite similar to ClanBase cup seasons.Season 1 will run in two stages, starting with a league and followed by a tournament.
Stage 1: League
The first stage will be a league, which is sort of like an organized ladder and is similar to a Groupstage on ClanBase. Matches are played round robin style, meaning that all teams play versus each other once. There will be matchweeks with unscheduled matches being forced weekly.

Signing Up
In CyberGamer, the system only allows you to join one league or ladder per team, since each one is considered a different game type. Because of this, you will have create a new team to participate in a league for Season 1. If you'd like to participate in both the 3on3 and 6on6 leagues, you will unfortunately have to create two new teams. However, keep in mind that there is an option to create an organization so that all of your teams are displayed neatly on one page.Once you have created a new team for the league, your team will automatically be added to the waiting pool. If for some reason that doesn't happen, simply visit the league page and click on "Join League". After signups close, we will take all teams in the waiting pool and split them up into the various divisions. Sorry for the inconvenience of being forced to create so many teams, but that is simply how CyberGamer works.

Should really make it look a bit more inviting though - It looks like a wall of text and may turn people of. What about a name also? Season 1 sounds a bit shit
Well, we can't really use EC/OC since that remains with ClanBase and GGL, and it's not really a "winter" or "spring" cup, so we decided to go with a simple "Season 1" instead.
And I don't really want to use euro___/open___ because that implies one cup is invite-only and the other is open for any team, which isn't how we will be running things (at least not this season).
Just my two cents
The reason I include "EU" is to differentiate from the AU website. There is eu.cybergamer.com and au.cybergamer.com, and the latter used to run competitions for ET as well.
ClanBase cup announcements were easy since EC/OC was run pretty much the same every single season. This is different because hardly anyone in the community is familiar with how cups work on CG. I'd rather have a "wall of text" with all necessary information than a nice-looking newspost which doesn't explain the actual cup season very well.
people will ease into the names of things and before long "CyberGamer EU ET Season 1" will be shortened everywhere to "CG ET Season 1" - people just need to see the name everywhere for the time being until everyone actually knows what the shortening stands for. :P

E: also Topic with - AVI for league could be good :p
Maybe! There are already a lot of stickies in the forums, though.
Just stick it as journal? :P
There will be crap load of journals/threads/topics/whateva very soon about someone being avi :P
hahahahaha
yes i know i am a highly intelligent man! :D
Why keep erdenberg and ufo? Whats wrong with 6 maps in map pool?
We probably won't force erden/ufo and frost/karsiah in Stage 1 anyway, instead leaving them available only as decider or as a team's map choice in Stage 2.

as for escape, I believe blacky is still working on it, but was very confident that he'd get the job done.

why no et_bach? :(
why no oasis? :(
