With just 16 days untill the event we were able to find a suited replacement for snoop and dialer and with our first praccs just finished we are confident in giving a good challange to all other top teams out there. After sNoOp lost his motivation and dialer just found out that his girlfriend wanted to spend some holidays short before the event he was unable to cover enough money for the lan trip so we just lost two good players but with abort contacting me and Matias coming out of nowhere we are motivated like hell to establish a really good performance and we will take use of the remaining days to increase our teamplay day by day. Thanks to the whole Team Rockit management as well as our sponsors YCN Hosting, N1Ping, EU Shells and XCite! - gifty

As many might have noticed, when ClanBase decided to host a Summer Cup for the community, in 2on2, 3on3 & 5on5 format, we decided to test new stuff, scripts, new maps, config changes, since it is Summer and some change is always nice, rather than the same boring stuff you play day in and day out for your whole ET "career". With AEF coming, the ET.Committee needed to test these changes in a cup with a large userbase, and with Summer Cup right before the lan, it was ideal to get feedback from it.

Changes proposed by the ClanBase Team include the following:

Config changes

• Warmup countdown has been increased from 10 to 15 seconds.
  
• b_simpleitems has been unlocked again (update will be released on sunday)

Mapscript changes

• karsiah.script fix - the South documents are protected with a door which will be automatically opened after the allies secure the North documents
  
• sw_oasis_te - a forward spawn for allies has been added. The flag in the middle bunker cannot be recaptured
  
• caen - axis(attacking team) spawntime 20, allies(defending team) spawntime 30
  - once the gate is blown, is is not constructable anymore
  - after axis construct the command post, they can spawn inside the church
  - tank barrier has been removed
  - when the tank is escorted to it's final place, axis can spawn near the boat
  - landmines reduced from 4 to 3 on caen (sunday)

Changes proposed by the ET.Committee include the following:

• rifle grenades have been increased from 3 to 4
  
• Snipers have been reduced to 1, you can still have unlimited coverts. (to be released on sunday, unless the script keeps on giving problems)
  
• Supply main rockjump has "theoretically" been removed, it's no longer possible to jump over it as of yet
  
• Supply satchel bug to destroy the crane controls has been fixed
  
• Nading from outside east to the inside of the "Upper defense" bug is now fixed

Another match from the Lower Bracket will be played tonight, in the ESL Major Series Playoffs. The battle will be extraordinary since the winner will pass into the top4, thus getting one of the money prizes. Who will win? We shall see in just a couple of minutes!

Just a few days ago, we have finished the previous seasonal league, but now it's time for a new one! We made some changes for this summer season, some of them in the rules set, so read carefully. I hope these changes will improve our system and your needs as players.

The long awaited EuroCup XXI - Semi Final between Dignitas and Overload is finally here, ET-Rankings winner Dignitas will face Overload who has been listed as the third best clan in ET, but this ranking has been taken 2 months ago, and both teams have had lineup changes, Dignitas have lost Night due to army while Overload have correctly dismissed vila & zeto. After these changes, both teams looked a little bit shaky, but both teams have had some time to get back into shape and it will be an intense battle between the two clans to pass to the Upper Bracket Final and face the reigning champions, Fintastic 5.

For all the English speakers, your favourite welsh shoutcaster Owzo will be radio shoutcasting, while for the Polish speakers, s0k1 will be radio shoutcasting this match as well! Tune into the match at GamesTV.

After throwing the lucky four contestants in the deep end and assigning them to find the "things that are unknown to most and bring us the human interest stories that matter" at the ESWC global finals, it is now time to decide who best performed in that task.

That decision will come down to you, the public voters, who have been following the exploits of the Alienware four as they backpack around Europe in a bid to win $5,000 and an Alienware M1x laptop.
The winner and runner-up of the public vote will not only be presented with extra money into their budget for that week, $150 and $100 respectively, but it will also go towards determining who wins the grand prize.

This week the challenge facing the contestants will be to learn more about street performers and street artists.

As it says on the Alienware Challenge website:

Quote

We would like to see our contestants go out and meet the most interesting street performers they can find and blog about it. We want the contestants to learn about these street performers and let us know their stories. Ultimately, we would like each contestant to also go out and “learn the trade” from one of them, taking over the role of a street performer/artist and entertaining random pedestrians and bystanders in the streets. With a plethora of options available to them, ranging from musically inspired artists to painters, jugglers, card tricks, acrobatics, comedy, mime, living statues the contestants are sure to get some interesting stories for us to read this week.

Those of you who wish to cast your votes can do so here.

Before voting be sure to read through and watch the videos in each of the contender's blogs.

The first match from the Lower Bracket will be played tonight, in the ESL Major Series Playoffs. These teams will have to give their best to remain in this competition and to achieve a big performance by getting in top 3. The other match from the Lower Bracket was forfeited by nulli secundus, being very inactive and because they were not able to line up 5 players. Tough luck!

The first team that is eager to win this match is zeroE. FiF. They made a great achievement at CC6 by entering the top 5. Since then, they are performing very decent, but they promise to surprise us tonight. If they can do it or not, we shall see. Here's what one of their players had to say about their latest performance and about their opponents:

After a small break for the World Cup, the RtCW NC draws closer as the votes for the captains are added up to see who will lead their Nations onto the battlefield. Also on the agenda before the cup properly kicks off will be a few showmatches just to make sure every nation is awake.

The first showmatch is tonight at 21CET and it sees Germany take on Italy - anyone managing to tune in we hope you enjoy the show!

Yet again ClanBase EuroCup switches into 6th gear. Today we get two exciting matches. First of we have Fintastic 5 vs squad.ee scheduled for 21:00CET and as always live on GamesTV. Shorty after followed by DreaM vs Zero Empathy FiF at 22:00CET also live on GamesTV.
While this second match is still at the beginning of the playoffs tables, the first is already at the final stages. The winner of Fintastic 5 vs squad.ee will earn its place in the upper brackets finals to face either Dignitas or Overload that is played on thursday.

Next to these two EuroCup match we also have the Clanbase Open Cup 5on5 2010 Premier League Grand Final of Szacunek Ludzi Ulicy vs vibe. Both teams will be competing each other at 21:45 CEST live on GamesTV.

Sunday is the perfect day for the last match from the Winner Bracket in the ESL Major Series Playoffs. The ESL Major Series will come to an end pretty soon, this means we'll find out the lucky team that will win the big prize of 400 euros. Who will it be? You could also predict the team that will win, using the comment section below!

2 matches are still to be played in the Lower Bracket. 4 Teams are threatened to leave EMS if they lose, so they will give their best to remain in the fight for the big prize. If you want to know who are those teams, just click here.
