2nd Cup Final

After the first date has been postponed, we got a new date for our big 2nd Cup Final: Coming Sunday, 18^th May 2008, 22:15 CET!

Cup Holders 4 Kings, which had some lineup changes lately, will meet the probably most improved team of the last weeks, Fracture.

Don’t miss the big Cup Final, we will have some coverage ready!

3rd Cup Sign-Up Period

As our current Cup is reaching his end with the final being played on Sunday, we are happy to announce our 3^rd Cup Sign-Up Period:

3^rd Cup Sign-Ups open: Monday, 19.05., 0:00 CET

3^rd Cup Sign-Ups ending: Wednesday, 28.05., 23:59 CET

Cup will be played without Seedings. Fixtures for every round will be done by a random draw.

Any European team is invited to join the Cup. You can find a How-To register your team at the site in our FAQ.

Season 2 Schedule

Still having some delay in the schedule, Week 6 is running, please contact your opponent as soon as possible if you haven’t done it yet and schedule your games. If you can’t find a date for this week, try to schedule the match for early next week.

All Week 6 Games are supposed to be scheduled by tonight, 23:59 CET.

We also had to enter some 0-0 results, probably check your results list if you forgot to add any results.

Demomen Limit Vote

After having some technical error in our last Cup Vote (which result won’t be counted as it wasn’t possible to vote 12 hours after the vote started) we are opening a general Demomen Limit vote after having some open discussion on it for weeks. Please take your chance to vote above.

Notice: Season 2 Demomen Limit probably won’t be changed during the running season.

New Admin, New Forum

We are glad to announce a new Admin in our Staff: Wlv, known as player in Division 1 Team The Last Resort. He will help us with fresh ideas in some upcoming projects of the future…

As we had quite a lot threads about released movies we decided to create a “Movie Forum“. Feel free to publish your work there like Division 2a Team LOL made it with their new Team-Movie “Inspiration“.

Regular Schedule Delay and more

May 9, 2008

Default Dates

First of all, for people who haven’t noticed yet, our 2nd Cup Final has been postponed to next week. New date will be published here soon of course.

Beside that we have to mention sigh6 is dropping from Division 1. Not very funny but guess nothing we can do about it.

We also had to set some Default Dates on our current Schedule this Week. We please all teams to contact your Week 6 opponents already and start scheduling these games. Try to stick to the regular schedule as good as possible.

Week 5 Default Dates:

• Division 1 - 4 Kings vs. Blood Pressure - Monday, 12.05., 21:00 CET
• Division 2a - it’s a farm! vs. Zero Tolerance - Tuesday, 13.05., 21:00 CET

These dates can only be changed if both teams agree.

Sadly there are also a few games from Week 4 still not entered. Hopefully some just forgot to submit the scores.

We will make an exception and set another date for these, anyway these dates can’t be postponed. If no result is entered 24 hours after game was supposed to be played, we will enter a 0-0 for both maps.

• Division 1 - TLR vs. Excello - Wednesday, 14.05., 21:00 CET
• Division 2a - exS vs. Knights - Tuesday, 13.05., 21:00 CET
• Division 3a - hb0da vs. IDK - Tuesday, 13.05., 21:00 CET

Rules

On the rules side we add three new maps to our 3^rd-Party-Pool:

• If both teams picked the same map against each other, they can agree on changing it once to a 3^rd-Party-Map. Map can be chosen by Map Elimination Mode (1^st team on Fixtures Page is supposed to start) or just by arranging. 3^rd-Party-Mappool: cp_warpath, cp_labor, cp_redstone_b2, cp_science2, cp_stag, cp_granary (with gates), pl_goldrush

Cup Poll

Cup Pool is still open, take your vote at top of this vote and decide which Win System we will use in our upcoming 3^rd Cup! This Vote will close coming Sunday, 23:59 CET.

Due to some bug vote was closed for the last days, so we will let it stay open for some more days.

Cup Gamemode Polls

Our 1^st Cup-Gamemode-Poll ended pretty close with total voters of 160. With having only 2 more votes we will stay with the Draw-Map-Count-System. But the next and probably most important poll is starting right away: The general Winning-System for our upcomming. You can choose between 1 Map only, a Classic Best of 3 or our current 2 Map Win System.

Season-Halftime

Nearing the Season-Halftime I have two general reminders for you:

• We included a Demo-Upload-Function a week ago and would like to see more people using it. Feel free uploading your PoV- our Source-TV-Demos of your ETF2L Matches!
• We recommend all team leaders to join our Steam Group for another communication system.

Our general league schedule after Week 4 officially ended last Sunday is pretty good except for Division 1 which feels like a fulltime-problem sometimes. We are happy about only 7 teams dropping so far (which are only 6 %), but with warm weather coming up we will probably have some more drops in the coming weeks.

It seems like some teams are working on a perfect streak in their 1^st ETF2L Season, good luck for the rest of the Season to hold your streaks:

• Division 2b - Holy Warriors of A…. - 18 points after 6 maps played
• Division 3a - dmg. - 18 points after 6 maps played
• Division 3b - veAre - 18 points after 6 maps played
• Division 4a - Totally Totalitarian - 18 points after 6 maps played
• Division 4c - eL Diablo’s Brigade - 24 points after 8 maps played
• Division 5a - Clones-Inc - 24 points after 8 maps played
• Division 5b - unbindAll - 18 points after 6 maps played
• Division 5c - MTF.Gaming - 24 points after 8 maps played
• Division 5c - Tribunal Team - 24 points after 8 maps played

IRC-Bot Clones

Thanks to QuakeNet ETF2L’s little brothers ETF2L2 and ETF2L3 are not online anymore. Looks like we have to live with a 20-Channel-Limit for the future (one spot is still free at the moment, just type /invite ETF2L #yourchan ).
