With the seeding tournament now over, the seeds have been finalised and the groups have been created. With only 13 teams attending, it made the traditional group system a little awkward, so we’ve come up with an interesting way to make this work. We’re confident this format is the best possible outcome given the restrictions with time and resources, we hope you agree!

[bThe Format[/b]]We’ll have 3 groups; 2 groups with 4 teams, 1 group with 5 teams. The top 2 in each group of 4 teams will go through to the double-elimination playoff bracket, whereas the group with 5 teams will see the top 3 go through. So who fills the 8th playoff spot, you ask? The teams who place 3rd in the other 2 groups will go head-to-head in their own mini playoff where the winner will be awarded that 8th spot in the playoff bracket. The map picking format will be the same as it was in the seeding tournament, as well as the fixed maps.

Adroits ET Masters – Seeding Tournament


The signup period is now over and it’s time to start the seedings. We will be taking the base seedings from the recent Battle for Berlin tournament now that it is over. Teams will be seeded into a Double Elimination bracket which will then be played out over the course of a week. We will then use the final standings of that bracket to determine the final seeds for LAN.

Teams must be using their anticipated LAN lineup for the event. If this is going to be an issue (ie. You’re still waiting on your lineup being completed), then get in touch with one of the seeding tournament admins way in advance.

The payment deadline has now passed and we wanted to obtain 10 to make sure the LAN would go ahead. We're happy to confirm we've been paid by 10 teams now! With the target reached, we're opening ONE MORE WEEK for other teams to pay up (06/05/2012).

With slightly under 2 months to the proposed dates of our ET Masters event, time is running out for teams to sign up and pay for their spot in the tournament. As per the last update, we're getting somewhere in regards to PCs with the help of some individuals and we're simply waiting on the confirmation of the availability of these PCs.

In order to make use of all the time we have left, we will open up the signups for this tournament now. I would like to say that if the event does not happen in Weesp, it will happen in Enschede at the adopted "home" of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - WZZRD. We require a minimum of 10 teams for the event to go ahead.

The GD Studio have announced The Arena, a series of tournaments sponsored by AMD Sapphire. The first of these tournaments features Quake Live and will include 8 of the game's best duel players.

The tournament will be broadcast live for everybody tonight at 18:00 CEST on TheGDStudio's Twitch TV channel and even by simply spectating, you can win a prize! The winner of the tournament will collect a $500 cheque with their name on it, and the bragging rights to winning the first invitational.

Hey folks, just a quick update to put you in the picture in regards to the upcoming Adroits ET Masters event in June.

It's been over 8 months since ET has seen any sort of notable LAN action. The last event of course being SAGE where Anexis took the win. Since then, it looks like the community has settled back into the 6on6 format for online tournaments. In order to not rock the boat, we've decided to make our return to ET and this time with a 6on6 offline tournament. Whilst the ET community may be familiar with the name "ET Masters", I'd like to clarify that it is in no way connected to the previous tournaments.

Read on for all the available information at this time.

Essential information overview
Dates: 2nd & 3rd June 2012 (09:00 each day)
Entry: €350 per team of 6
Slots: 16
Prize pool: €3,000

It's that time again where the ClanBase EuroCup invites are announced, along with the qualifying spots as well. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory had four spots to give away for direct invites and sixteen spots going to teams allowing them to try and qualify for the tournament.

The four invited teams go into one pool together whereas the sixteen qualifying teams will be slotted into pools depending on their performance during the qualifying rounds. The qualifiers will have a few stages to them in order to determine a best seed for the eventual EuroCup tournament. Here's how it works;

Some may say that Call of Duty 4 has been lacking a large cash injection for over a year, the last being the Antwerp eSports Festival at the tail-end of July 2010. With no AEF announcement for this year, the community seemed to lose hope and faith in their game. Sure, there has been numerous small to mid-scale events throughout the year and they've been great, but it's the big money people are really interested in.

At least momentarily, it seems the wait is over. One of the current market's largest high-performance PC components manufacturers, Corsair, have generously shelled out $10,000 for an online tournament in Call of Duty 4. The tournament goes by the name of Vengeance Cup and is the largest online tournament for the game in terms of prize pot and is certainly a soothing thought given the past year for the game.
