Twentieth day of September, twentieth EuroCup season. Today, Clanbase will announce invitations for their most prestigeous tournament. From over 200 signups, we have selected 4 teams which will receive direct invitation and 16 clans who will be fighting for remaining 12 spots.

This season's Qualifiers formula is different from previous one. 4 clans will be directly invited to EuroCup, 16 clans invited to EC Qualifiers. Directly invited teams will create poule 1. Qualifier teams will make 8 pairs. 8 winners will create 4 pairs. Winners from "winners" - clans who won 1st game will create poule 2. Losers from "winners" will create poule 3. Then we got 8 "losers" - clans who lost 1st match. They will create 4 pairs. Winners from "losers" will create poule 4, while losers from "losers" will be automatically put into one of the OpenCup Premier League groups. Each EuroCup group will consist of 1 clan from each poule.

First match needs to be played between 20 and 27 September. Second match needs to be played by 1st October.

After a decent eurocup where celsus finished joint 5th with h2k and a respectable finish of 4th in summercup celsus were left with a huge hole to fill when w3st decided he wanted to play for zZz and Ati wanted to play with dnan (now 141). We were left with a lineup that wasnt so Polish. After a few days we managed to pick up haZer who wasnt actively playing for any team, the player who himself isnt short of any achievements with a Nationscup XI and a Eurocup XVII. However, there was stil a huge hole to fill with the departure of w3st. Our luck changed when we saw the recent forum post of Reikkeri who has a vast amount of experience from finishing last eurocup and finishing at cc6. With wiesiu going inactive we had to fill the last spot with someone who was as good or even better. After impact went inactive/folded due to toxic moving to the uk for a year of studying it gave me the chance of getting syK to join who himself has won many achievements with teams like 141 and impact.

So the new Celsus looks like this:

R0SS
syK
kARn4J
haZer
Reikkeri
xanah

wiesiu
TEKNO

We will be competing in the upcoming eurocup and the ESL EMS. You can contact us at #celsus

GameTrailers have released several new videos showing Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer component. The footage was captured on camera at a recent press release, dedicated to the multiplayer component. According to FourTwoZero, a lot of new footage and content will be released in a few days, as well as further Q&As with gaming sites and interviews discussing the multiplayer.

GameSpot also managed to get their hands on Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, revealing further information on the game modes as well as several new perks that will be included. Unfortunately, there is still very little information on the competitive side on Modern Warfare 2. However, this is expected considering the competitive community is a lot smaller compared to the casual Call of Duty 4 gamers. We can expect the competitive CoD4 community to contribute to competitive gameplay, rather than IW

Signups for ClanBase's EC/OC Fall 2009 Cup season are due to close on Sunday the 13th at 23:59 CET, have you and your clan signed up yet?

What is the Fall 2009 Cup Season?

The Fall 2009 Cup season in which ClanBase hosts a mixture of OpenCups and EuroCups (often abbreviated to OC's and EC's respectively) is starting in September and ending just before Christmas (towards the end of December).

It has been quite a time since beta2 hit the ground, but still we've been actively collecting feedback of the summer season and ofcourse worked on all the bugs, which spawned in beta2. Now it is time to release probably the last beta of xeoxis and my latest map: C2 Missile Beta3

Hi there,

This project kept me busy the last months and i still cant get enough of it! So i would like to share the fun with you!

What is this API?
This API can read and write Demos that are recorded with the idTech3 Demo format. At the moment it supports Quake 3 and basically all their mods, and Enemy Territory with all their mods.
The API makes it fairly simple to get something done, in a very short time. It provides a simple way of hooking into some of the game events like gamestate parsed, snapshot parsed and so on.

What can I do with this API?
Simple. Pretty much everything. Change popups, remove spam, change frametimes, remove lag, change names (this is blocked for a reason), cut demos in pieces, YOU NAME IT.
One could for example write a plugin that outputs the normal ingame console and then pipes the file through statswhore or any similar program. Or one could even write a total new stats parser.
You have basically access to everything for now. I have no clue if this will change in the future, we will see.
