With having a look around to see many EuroCup participants publishing their lineup changes in the past days, ClanBase made some changes to the qualifiers. This is hopefully the last change before the upcoming season can show up with some hopefully hot and close matches in the EuroCup XVI qualifiers this week.
The last changes came up after hearing that Twatwaffles will not be participating this season. The Clanbase Admins have decided to replace them by Team 6s. This means a change for the following qualifier match:
moomoofarm versus Team Sixthsense

Also Stercus Accidit has merged with Team Impact and as such will be replaced by them in the invitations. The exact dates for the qualifier fights will be published within the next days, so prepare yourself to check the GamesTV.org ETTV schedule in the upcoming days.

Following a very successful EuroCup XV season in the Call of Duty 2 scene, ClanBase have revealed the teams that will take part in the EuroCup XIV. A total of 20 teams have recieved direct invites to the cup with a further 16 teams taking part in the qualifiers stage to determine the final four teams of the cup, using the same system as last seasons EuroCup.

Amongst the teams there are big names such as LowLandLions and H2k.Qpad, who were both participants in the EuroCup XV LAN Finals that took place in Enschede, Holland last month. Also making an appearence is Team-Impact.TCI, eSuba and Reason-Gaming with viciousandevil and the newly formed OVERLOAd Gaming in the qualifiers.

With the long list of sign-ups ClanBase recieved for the Search & Destroy cups, it was a let down and a shame to the community that teams such as TeK-9, Serious-Gaming and SPEED-LINK were absent from signing up for the final Call of Duty 2 EuroCup before the anticipated release of Call of Duty 4. All in all, my predictions lie on the cup not reaching it's usual standards with the absence of some teams but nevertheless it should still be interesting. The directly invited teams and qualifier schedule can be found below.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars has been released today throughout Europe, and ESL can announce the ruleset which we will be using for our upcoming tournaments and ladders. The ladders will be open this weekend and the first matches of our Opening Cup will start next Sunday (7th October)!

With one of the first tournaments in European ET:QW being the ESL Major Series with a 2000 € prizefund, we have been working with a number of teams in order to develop the following ruleset. We can also announce that the EMS will have a number of national qualifiers, with the winners being invited to the EMS.

The ruleset is subject to change, however for now it is as follows:

1) No aircraft
The tormentor, anansi and bumblebee are not allowed to be used.

2) Maximum 1 heavy vehicle
If both vehicles exist at the same spawn a team must decide which vehicle to use and stick with that vehicle until you reach another spawn. Choosing Cyclops over Desecrator means you can't use Desecrator at all until you reach a spawn which has one or both vehicles and then you choose again. You must choose one and must NOT swap between the 2.

3) It is only allowed to use heavy and medium vehicles from the frontline or nearest possible spawnpoint.
The heavy vehicle must be taken from the frontline spawn location which can be selected via the limbo menu. If the front line spawn has no heavy vehicles, you are allowed to take 1 heavy vehicle from the forward most spawn point which contains a heavy vehicle

4) Maximum 1 medium vehicle.
Only 1 hog or apc may be used. If there are multiple of these vehicles, you must choose which one you use, and you may NOT swap between the 2. The second vehicle should not be used.

5) No vehicles allowed indoors.
Unless the indoor area clearly has a path made for vehicles, such as a road, vehicles are not allowed to be taken indoors. This includes icarus'.

6) No heavy vehicles during the last objective
Once the penultimate objective has been completed, it is not allowed to continue to use heavy vehicles. If you are in a heavy vehicle, you must leave it immediately.

7) Maximum of 1 sniper rifle / railgun per team.
It is only allowed to have 1 covert ops using the sniper rifle or infiltrator using the railgun. The number of players playing this class (Covert Ops / Infiltrator) is however unlimited.

8) Maximum of 1 deployable per class and team.
Only 1 of each class may place a deployable on each team. This means that there may only be 1 radar, 1 field ops / opressor deployable, 1 engineer turret at any one time on each team. This means that if you place an Anti-Vehicle Turret, you are not allowed to place an Anti-Artillery turret.

Heavy vehicles include: Cyclops, Desecrator and Titan.
Medium vehicles include: Hog and APC.[/hide]

www.gmpo.org & #GMPO @ Quakenet !

It's Friday, September 28th, which means that all Europeans who are eager to play the new star in the sky when it comes to team based shooter games can now go and happily do so. A new game does not only mean new experiences, it also brings names into the community which have not been there before.

After Team Helix announced that they would be taking a break, their ET:QW team was left without a clan and in the best tradition of CS squads all over the world, they called themselves clan.qw. The time of being lonely and lost is over now - as of this week, they can proudly call themselves TEAM SPEED-LINK. A team of CoD2 fame, it is now hoping to build a reputation in ET:QW. To help them with that, they've taken in the following players:

Team captains
hurensohn florian
Andre 'SPEED-LINK|HEADi' Neumann

Players
Christoph ' SPEED-LINK|chaoz' Heidler
Tobias ' SPEED-LINK|Melkor' Gunzenhauser
Marco ' SPEED-LINK|morb' Prillwitz
Daniel ' SPEED-LINK|mylo' Rappl
Volker ' SPEED-LINK|Sporty' Klöss

With chaoz, Melkor and morb the team can boast quite some ET and EC experience, including LAN events like shgOpen and CPC.

Achievements
ESL DE Demo Cup
ESL EU Beta 2 Cup

Tomorrow everyone can finally grab their copy of Enemy Territory Quake Wars. We all hope that the game is a success and that leagues and tournament hosters give it the support it deserves.
As a team we're especially happy that TEAM SPEED-LINK gives us the chance to play the game under their name and that they support us in achieving our goals. We want to fortify and extend our current position in the scene. My whole team is looking forward to this task and to working together with SPEEED-LINK successfully.
