ClanBase Announce EuroCup Season

image: ecxiv_logo ClanBase have today announced the inaugural fall EuroCup season. Once again Enemy Territory and Call of Duty 2 will feature amongst the EuroCup games.

Enemy Territory 6v6 will be played in EuroCup (Supervisor United Kingdom Adacore, co-sup Belgium NightRaver, with OpenCup seasons in 6v6 and 3v3. Whilst Call of Duty 2 S&D will be played at EuroCup (Supervisor United Kingdom Cryptic co-sup Netherlands Spox , with OC season's in S&D, CTF and TDM.

Sadly, unlike last season there will be no official ClanBase LAN finals or prize money available.

QuoteClanBase is happy to announce signups for the new season, Fall 2006. ClanBase has gotten a lot of slack and criticism for failing to uphold the punctuality of its regular cup schedule; one that has become very familiar and popular among gamers.

Therefore, after a long debate, ClanBase has decided to do things differently this season. Starting November 27, ClanBase will take the opportunity to get back into our familiar cup schedule. The side effect is that this season will be on a strict and shorter schedule than usual.

It also meant that we had to make some harsh decisions. There will be no EuroCup qualifier match week, no EuroCup LAN finals and no prize money for this shorter, intermediate season. As a side effect we've decided to leave out a few EuroCup games this season. These decisions were not taken lightly but necessary to guarantee a short but quality cup season and to get back on track starting next season.

EuroCup Finals take much preparation and often leaves a big gap between online and offline stages. We felt that the large majority of our user base would appreciate us taking necessary precautions to get back on schedule once and for all. On a positive note - our next season, Spring 2007, is announced immediately after this season and will again include finals and prize money.

As of 12:00 CET today signups will be open for the Fall 2006 season. Signups will close again on November 19. After which the first match week will follow shortly on November 27.

More information regarding both tournaments should be released shortly.

hmm, dunno what to think about that.
OWNED
MUAHAHAHAHAHA stupid 5v5 went doooooooooooown muahahahah roflrofl
I really wonder if with the 5o5 rules we had any chance to see LAN final for ET this season.
I guess the answer was no anyway.
("with 5o5 format we may have ET eurocup final" waj ^^)
"There will be no EuroCup qualifier match week, no EuroCup LAN finals and no prize money for this shorter, intermediate season." that goes out for every game this EC
Parent
Thanks I know how to read. I just wanted to underline how just only 1 week ago there was people saying in some way "with 5o5 format we will have eurocup LAN final on ET". I dunno if they realize now that they were completly wrong.
Parent
Did anyone say when?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but it wasn't "we will", it was more like "we might".
Parent
You are right.
Happy ?
Parent
"On a positive note - our next season, Spring 2007, is announced immediately after this season and will again include finals and prize money."

Intermediate season.
Parent
owned...
ESL is growing.
ET EC prize money has always been insignificant.
Parent
and then still saying that get-liga and et-cup (with that NC thingy) has nothing to do with ESL
Parent
i would really like to know what you are talking about.
Parent
some comments they made a week ago.
Parent
I guess CB and ESL management might be concerned with which one is 'better', but I see absolutely no reason for CB and ESL to compete with each other - surely it's better to have two big name competitions than one?
Parent
yehaaaa \o/
lol @ no cs
Warleagues? o0

You can't buy prestige.
don't act like a retard
Parent
What? You're the fanboy flaming...

Lets compare the signups for IPS & EC.
Parent
warleagues has like 50% drops every season, its nothing more than a big joke.
Parent
not rly
last season for example we saw the best team winning it
Parent
I cant even remember who played in the final..
Parent
theres been another warleagues season?
Parent
aahahahahahaha
Parent
would be much better after the nc :/
agree,, stupid decision.. ppl can't play NC + EC or NC + OC
Parent
Yeah, should be after the NC really... but ok.

Signed us up x)
NC = 20/30 teams and what is the rest of the ET scene playing? You should not only think about yourself but about the rest too.
Parent
hope you wont get a qualifier
Parent
nice :) gl to all teams=)
how about the OC? i mean EC = 16 clans and OC div 1 got i guess 32 and the lower divisions even more.
Would you let that teams wait 5 months till NC is over and they finally got an OC to play?
gl to all teams and admins
No CS, WC3 EuroCups? ... ESL Extreme Masters with 160000 € prize money reached already a dimension Clanbase cannot compete with.

Sadly that there will be no prizemoney for ET. It gives Clanbase decision to switch back to 6on6 another sense (I know there where also other aspects :) )
and then CB would have made OC only and then the clans would have been whining that they aint got an EC.

and isnt playing EC with ur own clan more fun then playing NC with some other ppl from ur country...
Then why announce NC ^^
Parent
i dont know thats a CB chiefs decision.
Im sure ET sups aint picking the dates to start cups.

but its never good for the ET community so there will always be smtg they are whining for.
Parent
Yeah I know :)

It's nothing to do with "being good enough for the ET community" - it's general incompetence by the CB chiefs.
Parent
OC and EC are integral - they're effectively the same competition. Whether that's the right way of doing things or not, it's how CB works, we can't run one without the other (well - we could run OC and not have an EC I guess).
and then ull get the whine that there aint an EC
Parent
its CB decision not the decision of the ET sups
Errrm... anyone who has filtered CoD won't see this news, even though it's both CoD and ET news.
Weird - ta.
Parent
Need EC clan, pm.
so it will be all invites for EC ?
short cup doesnt mean less invites does it?
6on6 brought dead to clanbase LOLOLOLO

anyway

weird, let's see what next season will bring

good luck o_O

(looking for EC clan pm me)
same here LOL
Parent
gl, hope i will see my little Italy danone @ EC hf :*
EC and NC at the same time is no good idea. :(
ain't that normal?
Parent
No it has never been seen before... ever.
Parent
I don't get why the coordination lack.

Maybe... just maybe the admins and supervisors has become like some "top-players" has become (arrogant and having to high thoughts about themselves). I don't know how the supervisors and admins are now, cause I don't speak with them, that is why I wrote maybe.

I mean, back in the old days, we had such a great cooperation between rtcw.no, CB and ESL. Now it's almost like the proverb "dog eat dog".

I love you FDJ, really.
if you are serious - > kill yourself
Parent
ET > CS 1.6

Bring on the EC!
You need to set up a donations to fund some prize money for ET EC!
Parent
Thats so July :/
Parent
NC and EC in the same time is actually a good idea, easy 2 find a prac.
Overall, this looks poor and shit, exactly like OC.
Will there be winner and loser brackets?
WOOOOHOO ^-^
