Infinity-eSports Win £1000 In Thrustworld CS Ladder

Posted by Myers at 14:59 12/8/2002.

Slightly older news here but it never seemed to have been reported. The lucrative Thrustworld ladder has ended it's first season spanning 3 months and the top 3 of the cs ladder are as follows:

1st. Infinity-eSports - £1000
2nd. Twisted Reality - £500
3rd. erm - £250

Other notable clans who failed to win a cash prize were kensai & ClanNew finishing in 4th and 5th place respectively. Hopefully the cash prizes will lure more clans into the ladder next season and the competition will be even more fierce. For more information on Thrustworld or the CS Ladder simply click the links.

it seems a bit pathetic lookin at it, kensai finished 4th by only winning 3 games and losing 10. Hopefully there will be better competition next season. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

it wasn't an insult hates, its just half the clans that claimed free entry into the ladder pld hardly any games, meaning the competition ended up being between like 5 clans. Perhaps the free entry offer shouldn't have been done, and then the clans who paid for their entry would actually bother with it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

We just asked teams for a game, then set it up through the TW system i think.

Anyway, im glad we came out in first, despite twisted reality's "false wins" that kept appearing on their results page. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

we finished 3rd purely because we had the balls to play i-es 3 times (all losses), where as tR played them once (loss), the ladder system is really easy to currupt so maybe TW will consider a different format for next season... if it happens. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

perhaps change it to a league,<mouthfull> so every clan plays the same amount of matches and the same opponents the same amount of times </mouthfull>

does it matter? online leagues will never work, and prize money is abit pointless. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

online leagues would work if the decent teams would:
a. show up to games
b. not leave after a bad result [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

well, considering good teams could pretty much dick half the clans that beat them online at LAN, you can understand why. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I totally agree with you guys when you say the TW ladder is a crap system, imo it should be more like a league with set matches every week so everyone gets to play everyone else. As far as Keefe and Dart callin us "dodgy" in one or more words =) lets not forget erm:cs getting some "friends" to sign as a clan a week before the end and playing them twice in two days to rack up the easy wins. Oh yeah and the fact i.es are sponsored by TW seems... convenient. Anyway not dissin either clan, they are great guys and v good teams. gg guys, love a bit of healthy competition cya next season in TW :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

LoL i knew someone would think i meant it like that. Of course i:Es would win anyway. Maybe just a tactful business decison by TW. Just seems a strange situation to me. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The ladder was a bit of a mess first season, tR should have been kicked out imo for the cheating on the default wins. Incredibly they were allowed to stand as results at the end of competition. If more clans sign up then it could become worthwile but it seemed like you didn't get enough credit for winning games and were better off just losing 10 games to up your score. (kensai won 2 games less and lost 5 games more to finish above clannew)
Prize money should be saved for leagues rather than ladders. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

DeF, how can u try and put the fact you cheated with us being sponsored by TW?

Yeah we're sponsored by TW, but in noway did we get any sort of advantage through being sponsored by them, like you did cheating.

Anyway, feel lucky you got £500. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

You guys misuderstood my comment. I:Es winning TW obviously has nothing to do with them being sponsored as they were the best team in the ladder and therefore deserved the £1000. i was just referring to TWs business tactics in sponsoring the clan who were favourites to win. I'd like to hear your views on the erm:cs situation as I don't see how that could be deemed "fair play" either.

i only pld in 2 games of TW for tR, the system was crap, and tbh I-eS = one of best teams in uk + europe and who else was gonna win the league anyway :o Yea there were a couple of false results but they was removed... thing is tho... when clans purposely dont play us because they do not wish to give away points because the "no named" clans are their buddies, and they also confirmed this in irc when we asked them and its quite obvious when u look on the list of clans the named clans joined pld their buddy clans and no one else...

I dont wanna argue, i have much respect for erm cos they are really cool and i-es cos they are very very good.

But if u want facts go and look on the team lists and check when the teams signed up and who they pld and how they wouldn't play us in order not to give away points to us. hope it all makes sense :( [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

1 of the results was removed (the n1 "game").

dunno about the other default wins you'd have to ask the clans involved.
Imagine the suprise on seeing the above result magically appear on the ladder.

Well good choice by TW then, surely?

Say I was in a company that decided to sponsor a team and there was the possibility I would be setting up my own competition, who would I want to spend money on?

The favourites to win or a clan who lost all their matches? Wow, tough decision. :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

indeed was a good choice by TW i-es i'd say got the best chance to win next cpl and they deserve it more than everyone else. i couldnt care less abotu the 24-0 vs CLANNEW it went down as a default, and as far as i know I only knew u split like a month after it happened i wasnt in tR then anyway. As for the comment i made earlier, the clans know who they r who wouldnt play us and lets leave it at that, the league had dodgyness all the way thru and clans doing favours for others. I dont wanna go on about it as everyone in erm:cs i respect alot as they are a very good clan. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

lol =/

well ok, first we played tR twice, first time they beat us 16-8, the game was 3v5 (we had 3), then towards the end we won 5v5. i like tR as a team, and i think that they simply used the rules to their benefit, i'm not blaming them, i'm just saying its a shoddy system to place that much money on
