ClanBase Enemy Territory NationsCup IX

ClanBase has tonight announced it's ninth NationsCup season. While the delay has had ET users users biting their nails in anticipation, another season is rolled up ready to go with a few welcome additions.

While last season's tipped winners Estonia took home the gold, a slight controversy almost saw Team Hungary losing their silver medal and a slightly less-likely United Kingdom lineup took the third spot for the first ET NC ever... Certainly a less than predictable ending to ET's most anticipated National competition.

This season's NationsCup will be headed by the newest additions to the ClanBase ET crew; Thalakos and NightRaver. While the maximum 3-man rule hasn't changed, ClanBase has for the first NC introduced wildcards for use by teams during the season. A slightly new selection process for Nation Team Captains also takes place this season.

For the full rundown, head over to ClanBase.

Martin 'Santabot' Lindman, maker of the RtCW EuroCup X movie and (former) player of ABA and deovolente, has been featured by the GGL.

In his 'Gamer Life' item, Santabot elaborates on his gamer lifestyle as he claims it is all being wasted on drinking, taxi driving and ofcourse taxidriving.

Do you have any remorse about gaming this often?
Sometimes. But I don't feel that what matters in life gets pushed aside. Without gaming, I probably would have finished my studies. And have a girlfriend. But who wants kids, house and a Volvo at the age of 26?

The Swedish 26-year-old even stated that SWERtCW might return with a complete new website and SWERtCW's famous movie database included.

Rosters should be announced at Wednesday 21th December

The day when Robo-Jesus showed up at the door of the mighty Jean Luc Picard has passed and the story about the Enemy Territory squad of a german multi-gaming clan pstarZ has came to an end.



The roots of the team reach far into the ground, into the depths of independent, where bort, denzel, snot and jester met eachother and later continued with the forming of gravity.et. After lots of practising, lineup changes et cetra, the four Belgian musketeers formed pstarZ.et and after a while set up a stable lineup, consisting of some experienced players and some new faces.
The team was improving and the first success came out to be the-against-all-ods-win in the second ET-cup after a thrilling three mapper against wArning!.
After that, things went a bit worse but the team still managed to get a direct invite into ET EuroCup XII, where after two losses against gods.inc and SoF and the recent victory versus wArning in the ET-cup final replica, we decided to call it a day.

So, what are we going to do now?

- snot isn't sure yet about either playing Warcraft 3, either continuing with ET, or a mix of both.
- bort claims to go for "-=tHe n1 rL=-", but will still play ET for fun with his friends.
- oBs is waiting for the NC, then moving to Warcraft 3, his spare time will be devoted to browsing ytmnd.com.
- LION will try to give the CB admins anal stimulations, so he could play the Opencup with his jewish friends.
- Ravenous and FlixX are the only ones who will continue with playing ET on a high level in other clans, so if you are in need of players, feel free to msg Fl1xXzZ`cL3sS.
- And the last, but not least, our spectator dNzl is going to play OC and enjoy his spare time with belgian beers and chocolate.

Shoutouts fly out to Exquizit, Jester, F3nceR, syL, Maidrion, all of our ex-members and everyone who supported us in any way.

UPDATE

141 4-2 Helix

Shoutcast Download HERE

A truely memorable match for all the right reasons!

__________________________________________

Right now the group table see's 141 and uQ in the top two places, but helix are in a position with the potential to steal that final qualification place!

Victory would see a three way tie at the top of the group, the margin would be the determining factor. uQ lost last week to 141 and it was that victory that suddenly has built the hype around a 141 team dogged with roster changes since their summer cup victory!
However helix are not to be taken lightly, their resisilient style of play has seen them take one well earnt map off uQ and puts them in a position where it would be foolish to rule them out of this game!
It really is all to play for, IF helix were to win, each team would have beaten LGND and taken one other victory, leaving it finely poised for a goal difference type of finish!

The details are as follows:

This writer prays for a classic, maybe 4 maps? Helix have often proven to be the thorn in many a top teams side, I remember last year when helix got in the way of the u96d steam train with a group stage victory that did not see them qualify, could history repeat it self, or will this helix team go one better? Helix's legacy within ET makes them potentially one of the oldest names in ET, back when the game was first released their very first roster before plan-b took it apart was potentially the strongest in ET at the time!

Between all the hectic things about the upcoming great event, the European Allstar Event, there will be a great match tonight in the CB EuroCup XII -> Gods Incorporated vs wArning!.

Gods.Inc, one of the best clans playing ET at the moment together with idle.ee and uQ.Gaming, playing in Group D. Gods.inc played 2 matches allready in their group versus Clan SoF and pstarZ, won both quite easy with 4:0. Welcomed Winghaven, ex-member from wArning!, who will probably be kind of nervous to play against his exclan where he played a very long time with. Gods.inc also welcomed Future in the begin of the season and with their strong and active lineup they will try to beat the always good wArning!.

wArning!, played only one match till today versus Clan SoF, won it with 4:0. After Winghaven and Radifz left the squad, mike has joined them and with their 6 men lineup they will try to defeat Gods.Inc on their way to the playoffs. The winner of this match will probably go to the playoffs, Gods.Inc for sure, but wArning! got a big change for it too. Tonight we'll see what wA got to win this match, are they prepared good enough?

UDATE:

Because we assumed that countries arent correctly balanced, we added Czech Republic to east europe and Switzerland & Austria to the south europe.
We also assumed that it will be rather hard to play all 6 matches on one day, so event will take a place on 2 days, thursday and friday, 22 and 23 of December.
