As I mentioned in the News
How come that, afaik, not every clan gets to play a qualifier, if they werent invited, while they did sign up?
Does every clan signed up to OC get to play an EC qualifier?:)
Parent
True, but somehow i got the impression that every clan who would sign up would get to play a qualifier, could be my bad ofcourse.
Parent
don't you think like for example this suckie clan has an easy lottery and goes to lan , and for example a good clan faces a good clan and can't go
would be stupid imo + it would request an enourmous amount of time to give 30 clans a qualifier from which 15 are useless anyway
Parent
lo2 is poker, not et
Parent
then u really havent played poker.
Parent
everything you suck @ is lo2, remember that!
Parent
Lottery? are we talking about the same game? are "you"( between " coz it aint personal) afraid to play vs some random mix? Now we got 7 quali matches, it maybe would have been 15 at max, does it change much for xfire admins? No it wouldnt, besides the fact that they might have to make a seeding list or what ever...
Parent
Every poll should have a donkey vote.

This time, Nellie is the donkey. I vote Nellie.
Parent
I don't know the reasons & criterions how these teams were picked up, so can't say are they good or not. I guess skill level is fine. This isn't EC, winning OC might not be enough.
For example impact. They haven't played any official afaik, but they still should be in, in my opinion.
im still wondering why KIH isnt invited to the rtcw lan? didnt they sign up?
i got unbanned

You should be non-existant

NETR is in but FF need to play qualifier? wtf?
I CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO POST THE SAME THING IN TWO PLACES!

:<
As I said in the newspost.

Omfg, are you kidding me? First of all, I have nothing against all the clans which i'm gonna say now, I just wanna say my thoughts about this.
Good direct invites imo:

- Dignitas
- zeroPoint
- aMenti
- NETRUNNERS
- 141
- polar eSports (cdap)

To start with, Impact Gaming. As I said earlier, I don't have anything against you guys, you are a great team tbh. But Why the fuck are they getting a direct invite? they didn't played _any_ official yet. Last CPC you invited parodia aswell, also then they didn't played any official. N1 thinking toss/adacore. Murso, a mix formed 2 / 3 weeks before the LAN. They played EC, but not with the same line up. Quite fucked up that you are inviting a mix and not a clan. One soldier, again a 'mix'. They didn't played any official yet nor they proved themselves yet. It's really sad... Oh yeah, you also said that the teams that played at CPC 1 had an advantage, we, cZar ( me, snot, dNzl and lio) played at CPC 1. Did we get any advantage? NO. Just so fucking funny that you are taking a mix above a clan. This is really not fair. just my 2 cents.

Btw Impact/Murso/One soldier. You don't have to reply to this comment, It hasn't anything to do with you.
one.soldier just won a lan tournament afaik
Parent
oh, you'r now pissedoff because your team didnt get a direct invite.. hmm how sad.. Maybe you should quit again. <3
Parent
lol you know impact > cZar ;)
Parent
Daar gaat het niet om.
Parent
totally agree. Impact invite depends on name like A-Monkeys in EC. but i have no doubt they rock. Just no prove yet for an invite...with a Qualifier they would prove and would be nope for them.
Parent
Impact and one.soldier played rly good officials so please...
impact has mystic so the direct invite was inevitable.
they are just afraid that impact wouldn't make it through qualis, and we wouldn't see mystic @ LAN!
Parent
i dont think so somehow...
Parent
why do u reply on every impact gaming related comment?

(also to my bad jokes)
Parent
i thiught every team signing up would be able to play a qualifier match and at least get an equal chance like everyone else
Not that it's really needed but some clarification and/or minor observations about the invites and qualis for ET. These were not the (full) criteria used for selecting teams, but they are noteworthy:

* Every player from CPC1 that signed up (afaik) got an invite or qualifier. Around 33 of the 48 players from CPC1 signed up in total.

* Every player who was in the CPC1 final (Night, urtier, senji, tekoa, tiigeri, mAx, twidi, lettu, reload) got a direct invite.

* The top six teams in this season's EuroCup all got direct invites.

Just in case you wanted to know, this is a list of the ET teams that signed up but didn't make the qualifiers (there were 42 signups in total for ET, 8 for RtCW and 41 for CoD2):

Infrag, venue, division, doll, exotic island, delusion, hardMethod, inFlux, sadness, oxid, bangelijk, symphh, lithium, pride, routiners, massacre, vaud, GiB, L-st.
lol nice teams ... i just dont get it ...
Parent
looks really weird to me
Parent
terrible imo
good imo.. all (at least most) of the top level teams are in!
imo one.soldier qulifier and helix direct invite...
Teams should be chosen based on skill level and how entertaining they are to watch... In my opinion the invites were good, except maybe murso. Would have been nice if Fear Factory, defs, and helix got an invite too, but they'll most likely make it past qualifiers anyway.
Are you serious? Murso have 2 finalists from last CPC in their team, lots of players from the NC winning Finland team and good results in this years EC.. how can they not deserve it?
Parent
Yeah, but they didn't really do all that good during EC, the only team in the playoffs that they were on par with was rewind. The Finnish NC team is completely different and faced completely different teams; impossible to compare to sFx. And 2 players from last CPC is not all that much, especially considering the competition then compared to now. Then taking a look at FF or helix... I don't see why murso got an invite and they didn't.

Yes, yes, obviously quite critical, but that's what lead to my (minor) comment.
Parent
Helix underperformed at CPC1, underperformed (and dropped) from EuroCup, have been inactive for 2 months and have changed three players since they were last active.

Fear Factory didn't attend CPC1, didn't make it out of the groups in EuroCup.

You'll notice that every team directly invited (except one4one, thanks lettu) either (a) made the top 6 in this season's EuroCup and/or (b) has players from the final of CPC1. A very simplistic representation of the very complex process used to select teams, but a nice one.
Parent
I understand your decision, but IMHO the current hx or FF is more entertaining to watch and would beat murso in a match, hence my original criteria. :) But it's all a trivial argument anyway since they'll almost certainly win their qualifier anyway.
Parent
hmm how come 141 got a direct invite then? :P
Parent
smart question, u got him there!! ;D
Parent
Oh yeah. Stability and perceived skill level and stuff :D
Parent
just voted for the terrible option, since it was the closes to my mouse cursor
It would be better to do qualifier cup, where all teams who reach 1/4 qualifiy, like for CPC1.
cant complain, but wouldve been nice to have 8 teams for RtCW (2 groups of 4) or qualifiers :)
Just terrible
inviting one4one and impact who did not achieve anything yet. LoL rofled too funny!!!!
Impact got such big names that is impossible to not invite them, best finnish players are there, plus other highskilled and experienced players. They deserve an invite imo, it's not really hard to guess what their performance will be once they play. 141 already proved themselves at the toplevel, really nice line up full of good and experienced players, there is nothing to whine about imo.
Parent
murso were better in EC, so I would be careful calling impact players best finnish players any more :D
