  The groups are up!  080209  
 

After a lot of thorough discussions, we have come to a decision about the groups and teams. Some hard decisions had to be made, and we are aware of the substantial amount of whine we are going to receive, but since about half of all clans had signed up for Silver Cup and some Silver Cup clans had signed up for Bronze, we were unable to fulfill all requests. There's still two days left in which you can try to make us reconsider, but there's a good chance the groups are gonna stay as they are now.

In a three tier system, the top third of the clans should play in the best of three divisions, hence our decision to move some clans that had requested to play Silver Cup into Gold Cup. We tried to even out the tiers as good as possible, and the result is 14-13-13-10.
You will also notice that tiers are quite large and that we decided not to subdivide these tiers into groups such as A and B. The reason for that is quite simple: We at all costs want to avoid what happened in Division 2 in EQL Season 6, where several clans went inactive while the remaining clans had no more opponents. While we of course hope that all of the 50 clans remain active, it would be Utopian to assume this is going to happen.
Also, given the large size of the tiers, we have come to the conclusion that the top EIGHT clans of a division will move to playoffs, and this is something that ALL clans in ALL of the tiers can achieve. This of course depends on the activity of the tiers and whether or not we will be forced to remove clans. To those clans out there disappointed about their placement: Set the playoffs to be your goal and try to appreciate that you are going to play against clans that you don't usually get to play.
The group stages are scheduled to take 8 weeks, so that's just over 3 games in 2 weeks. We are going to be strict about inactivity, so don't wait around for too long.

As for the rookies, we have also decided that they are allowed to have more than just two player additions once the league has started. These additions however, should obviously not alter the team's strength too much.

The league starts coming Monday.
Let the whine begin.

NICE, are you admins retarded or what? Why put lousy clans like jmk and some others in gold? We played even with hips in prac and are not even close to top div2. Just make silver bigger then gold, how hard can it be. This is just a joke, but thats expected from retards.
     
m0lle - 85.225.87.*** 080209 @ 10:46:12
yes it sure will be a fun season still playing in gold with votary/overd instead of bps :D
     
m0lle - 85.225.87.*** 080209 @ 10:47:06
maybe this time we can beat slackers....

TheEvilDog: Here you are, seriously offended and calling people retards, because you're disappointed about a decision being made in a computer game league. I'm sure your family is very proud of you.

heh, malice in gold? how do you guys think now!
     
wujek_record - 87.206.242.*** 080210 @ 07:10:08
chill TED. its just a computer game... appreciate work of this guys, they spend their time on this shit. gj :}
     
187 - 81.175.237.*** 080210 @ 07:56:21
wasnt flinty looking for div2 clan? isnt gold like div1+div2... why the whine? :S gj admins.
     
molgrum - 85.24.184.*** 080210 @ 08:50:37
Yeah Gold is supposed to be div1 and high div2, we placed clans accordingly. If there is objections about this kind of system then leave them at our channel and keep the insults and middleschool vocabulary out of there.

I like the decision about the eight playoff spots. However, you should update the table design to reflect that change too. :)

move Suddendeath, jokkmokk, Malice ,No Pasaran and Oblivion to silver.
Not so funny to face topclans when u have lost 2 out of 4 players from the startline and replaced them with players from div4
     
m0lle - 85.225.87.*** 080211 @ 03:37:43
ok98, after having a talk to soma i agree with him, gold aint div1 gold is div1-top2 and that is us... that just how the leage is formed.
     
Kalma - 88.112.70.*** 080211 @ 05:07:04
Move worst clans to lower tier. Repeat until all are in rookies.
     
soma - omg.hai.2.u 080211 @ 05:26:20
ok98: Arnette is currently playing for Naim in Bronze Cup, Milton has previously played for SSC in Div3, Mogge is playing with Quakeklan in Bronze Cup, and so on. I don't really think it's a problem since the overall skill of the team still somewhat fits into the division.

But what I am trying to say is this: I don't actually know Overd that well, but Votary is a very good player, who's already played for clans such as Suddendeath and Natives in the past. Whether he spent the last 4 months in Div4 or on a spiritual trip to Jerusalem doesn't really matter: He's a good and very promising player and not just "some guy you picked up in Div4".

jOn - 194.236.209.*** 080211 @ 21:58:46
Besides... Siver looks to be the most interesting gruop this season. Good job there admins!
     
mushisan - 91.121.2.*** 080211 @ 22:52:46
can i whine too?:):)

lets hope clans follow the crew's good work
     
Skillah - 217.76.20.*** 080212 @ 00:46:52
Iron cup?

Seems to make things a bit more interesting yeah :) Looking forward to some action!

Good job admins!
     
trash - 90.227.152.*** 080212 @ 01:05:24
This looks more like a fun season for everyone yes. Good work admins
     
ok98 - 78.69.48.*** 080212 @ 01:41:51
I agree with trash. Good work! No more rejp games :)
     
driz - 217.207.201.*** 080212 @ 01:47:42
I'm confused. The news post says 14-13-13-10, but there's now 5 divisions. Unless 14-13-13-10 doesn't include rookies. But then those 4 divisions don't have 14-13-13-10 clans.

I can only assume that 10 did include rookies, and the 14-13-13-10has been turned into 8-13-9-10-10.

Please update to news post to clarify :)
     
fisto - 81.233.16.*** 080212 @ 02:51:29
seems like whinemok and suddenwhines whine did payoff :((
     
bandit - 82.181.3.*** 080212 @ 04:04:19
yeeaaw.but could we still have one more div???? and then split these divisions at least 4 different groups. that should be so damn nice!
     
deus - 88.74.186.*** 080212 @ 05:26:04
:< liked it better before
     
Stev - 86.41.152.*** 080212 @ 05:29:34
You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. :)
     
FlePser - 80.60.182.*** 080212 @ 07:55:34
