It should be the last chance to reach the playoffs for United Kingdom tonight. After losses versus The Netherlands and France they have to beat the czech, otherwise they are out. Perfect teamplay and individual skills will be needed to bash the unbelivable good teamplay of Czech Republic. The team, lead by ButtonBashers' marv has already shown that they are able to beat every team. But the experience of syK and the individual skill of griim and Meez could UK get a win. Pretty close and exciting match. See you tonight, to find out if UK fails like the year before.

Looking forward to a good match. Good luck and have fun on behalf of the Clanbase ET NC Crew !

Welcome to Wednesday’s Six(ish) Nations Championship! It’s match week two and the irresistible Italians take on the irredeemable Irish, in what’s being billed as another David versus Goliath mash up. This the first match proper for the Irish, and they’re eager to overcome the doubters and get off to a winning start. Should they lose tonight, it'll be a constant uphill battle to avoid being awarded the Wooden Spoon.

In their first match of the competition Italy enacted an enthralling comeback, turning over what seemed an irreversible lead for the English and eventually clawing their way back from two maps down in order to share the points with the then despondent English. In little over an hours worth of game time, and four maps played, this was a flashback to the glory days of Enemy Territory – as two teams slogged it out, testing their mental stamina to the limits.

The Italians managed to hold England for over twelve minutes on Supply, primarily thanks to an impressive outer defence of the depot, repelling wave after wave of English attacks and holding them outside the walls for over four minutes. Assuming Italy have worked on improving their attack, they’ll be confident of taking the map tonight.

Battery is what throws some spice into tonight’s match, with teams reporting difficulties in practicing, and it being a map not regularly used in competition – assuming Ireland are fully prepared and can overcome the initial stage relatively easily, could this be their map to shine?

Ireland vs Italy

Competition: 6[ish] Nations Championship

Tonight, nations collide. Tune in from 22:00 CET!

ButtonBashers last week posted that they were looking to replace dAv1d in their starting lineup due to his work commitments and this week it was confirmed that flying Finn Lettu would be the man to replace the former CDC Champion. Lettu brings a wealth of experience to the line-up having played top level ET for several years and in the eyes of the team, will be able to return them to the activity needed to compete at the top level.

He had this to say;

Quote by lettu

I'm happy to join this experienced and skilled team, and cant wait to play etmasters and other cups with them. Joining such team is nice also because of incoming lans like cc6 which might be my last ET-lan because of army. After my army i think i will be playing Wolfenstein if it doesn't get delayed much and is a good game.

This leaves the side with the following roster:

Crossfire tonight learned that the struggling USA team will be withdrawn from this years ClanBase NationsCup XII - amid howls of controversy and scandal engulfing the entire North American scene! This a move that will further compound what has been a torrid time for Enemy Territory stateside.

Although details are currently sketchy, reports from across the pond are that alea, though American, not currently on the US roster, and anim, team Canada's captain, covertly played for the USA team in their first match week loss to Slovenia.

The favour was returned with theend playing for Canada in their victory over Hungary in Group C.

These revelations leave ClanBase in a sticky position as to their next move, with a minimum red card for both teams (i.e. forfeiting matches played with mercs) seeming a certainty. This fiasco also leaves many asking as to possible repercussions for the NA scene, with ClanBase due shortly to announce their first North American ladder.

Related ClanBase Rules
6. Freelancing (playing for 2 different national teams at the same time or as 2 different players, even when having both accounts linked), is not allowed. All matches where the freelancer has played will be turned into a forfeit loss. The freelancer will be banned from the cup and will receive a temporary 3 months ban from ClanBase. In case of a returned freelancer, he will receive a further ban. In case a freelancer has 2 different unlinked accounts, his newest active account will be deleted and the other one banned. This may also lead to the exclusion of the clans involved from the cup.
7. Any attempt to mislead a referee or a supervisor will be handled according to ClanBase's Abuse policy.
8. Any player caught faking his nationality in order to play for another nation will be considered as misleading the Supervisors and receive a temporary ban from ClanBase.

Team USA are currently sitting bottom of Group D after losing their opening encounter against Slovenia, and are scheduled to play Croatia Sunday night, 21:00 CET. It is unlikely that this match will be played.

More details to follow!

Update: Following the initial bans imposed by ClanBase C&A on the actual players, the ClanBase ET admins have now acted and have kicked Canada out of the competition.

Quote by ClanBase

Since the situation with both teams has been handled by our C&A division we are now taking the step of removing both teams from competition. After banning the 2 involved players Anim and TheEnd Canada will be removed due to the person involved being their teamleader. For team USA the request was made to remove them by Mistaken, the American team captain. While it is regrettable the fault is theirs alone. Playing for a nation that you do not belong to will be punished severely.

Crowd favourite Japan is willing to beat estonian superstars Night and RELOAd. Clanbase' NationsCup has shown a lot of interesting matches so far, and we can count this one in aswell. Will MiRUKU be able to be as good as against Portugal in their qualifier ? It might be the only chance to beat Estonia tonight. They gotta win atleast 1 map, otherwise it’ll be hard to get into playoffs, their minimal target !
