After a successful first cup the second one is about to start. To do so we need again 16 teams to compete against each other.

First of all I would like to announce the winner of the first Fast-Gaming-Cup:

1st: ferocious
2nd: epikuR
3rd: Revoltados


ferocious came surprsingly from the nowhere and took the gold medal by beating epikuR in the final and Revoltados in the half-finals though that team had beaten the favourite team of this cup stronger than hate.

If you think you that you can take away ferocious' throne you should sign-up for this cup. There aren't major changes in this cup from the other first one. I've just implemented an option in the sign-up form for the next (3rd!) Cup where you can choose which mode you would like to play then (3on3, 5on5 or keeping 6on6). In the last poll et_ice was kicked out by the majority of teams and instead sw_goldrush_te was voted in.

Mappool:
1st Round: braundorf_b4
Quarter Finals: sw_goldrush_te
Semi Finals: sw_oasis_b3
Match for 3rd place: radar
Final: 2 Maps chosen by finalists from mappool (Decider:radar)

Sign-Ups open today and close on 18th February or earlier when 16 teams have signed up.

In the absense of foonr…

NationsCup ’06, sadly it’s been a muted affair so far. No major upsets, no last gasp caps no nothing. This Sunday however could change all that…

There's not one, not two but three cracking clashes as it's make or break time across the board. The winners will most likely go on to qualify whilst the losers are sent packing.

Kicking off the night’s action we’ll see Team Hungary and Sweden go head to head. Both are currently languishing outside the top two qualifying positions in Group B, a real possibility that neither will progress to the next round.

Team Hungary dropped their initial and only match against an impressive Netherlands team - who are currently being touted as potential champions come March. Whilst Sweden overpowered France 4 0 in the first week only to crash and burn against a resilient Dutch team in the second.

This match is a battle for second place, though that positions not a certainty. As the Czech Republic are currently won 3 from 3, though they’ve yet to face any of the big guns.

Then we move onto the rearranged clash between Israel and the United Kingdom over in Group C. Information about that tie can be found here.

Finally, the climax of the evening comes as Belgium take on current holders and competition favourites Estonia. Belgium currently hold the top spot in Group A having taken easy wins over both Portugal and Croatia – fielding a strong team including the likes of zeto, Ganon and Shewie. Though they’ll face an unforgiving Estonian team – possibly the strongest to grace NC yet. This Estonian line-up genuinely a team of champions, fresh from recent escapades across the globe.

Can Belgium create the upset of the year?

The teams are awarded with points for participating in the ET Nations Cups too, so there are some suprises. Ranking doesn't include results in CB Nations IX. It looks like that:

place/nation/points:
1. Finland 543
2. Estonia 465
3. Poland 406
4. Belgium 298
5. United Kingdom 277

After another 48 hours of voting, the voting booth has been closed once again and we now have all 6 finalists for the ET Idol contest:

HorsT - Alles Nur Lucker (195 votes)
equal - Kaas (186 votes)
Sotapaa - Jingle Bells (122 votes)
Overdrive - Like A Virgin (86 votes)
Snoop - Nobody's Home (67 votes)
Larg0 - Kuka Keksi (60 votes)

Sotapaa and his christmas song was the most appreciated one, while Overdrive was successful with his Madonna interpretation and Snoop got credit for impersonating Avril Lavigne.

Thanks to all the others of the second group who have not made it to the finals, maybe you will next time!

Now, these are the final contestants, and you can vote for them until Sunday February 12th 22 CET. By then, we will know who of those 6 is going to take home his very own ET Idol shirt and who will just come in second.

Edit:
Man, it's just like in gaming, people can't control their urge to cheat. Since I do not know whether the singer in question is responsible for the cheating, I am just going to remove those votes which resulted out of cheating at the end of the voting process (Yes, I am able to find out how many votes were not legal).
Anyway, this is just sad, but I half expected this to happen.

UPDATE: The match has been rearranged - it'll be played this Sunday (12/02/06)

They're two teams who gave us some of the more memorable lineup news on crossfire, and tomorrow (well, nearly today) team Isreal and team UK take on each other in a game which could make-or-break their qualifying prospects.

Group C is the venue, and neither team can be said to be doing fantastically at current. Team UK's only previous game was against group favourites Finland, to whom they stumbled to a 0-4 loss, including letting the Fins set a time around the 5 minute mark on Oasis. Clearly, in the time since a lot of head scratching will have been done, as the UK attempts to recover some of the great form which saw them emerge as suprise bronze medalists last season. Isreal too are without a clean record. Having beaten underdogs Latvia in the first round of games, this was followed by a forfeit loss against Finland, leaving their group image much reduced from what it should, many might argue, be. With Finland having won both of their two games to leave them in a commanding position, 4 teams including Italy, Latvia and Iceland are all vying for the elusive second qualifying position along with said laggers.

I disturbed Mztik's 3v3 braundorf defence to pose the question, how much does ping difference affect games such as these?

Quote

Mztik: Well the ping difference does matter, however it's a double edged sword, the israeli players are gonna find it harder to play with high ping of course, but luckily they ping best on UK servers so it's the best situation for both of us. The ping makes them harder for us to hit them, but it's also difficult for them to play so it will an interesting game =]

Unfortunately, all the Israelis had gone to bed at this point =(.

Some people say that ET is dead, but other people are doing everything to keep it alive - those people have stolen idea from bigger esport sites and made a monthly ranking of best 10 Enemy Territory clans in Europe.

The system of ranking is simple, each month we choose judges, ten random people which say their own top 10 of Europe ranking. After that we are summing the points, 10 points for 1st place from private ranking, 9 for 2nd, 8 for 3rd etc. (it means that each clan can get 100 points max).

Because this is the first time, some seedings might be quite surprising, but everything should clear up in next editions.
Finally, the results:

nr/clan name/points
1. idle.ee 91
2. uQ-Gaming 89
3. one4one 59
4. gods inc 48
5. demiurge 36
6. Logitech UVM 25
7. trinity 24
8. idkfa 23
9. helix 21
10. team beta 16
