Better late than never, here are the results from week 2 of the BlueYonder CS League:
Map: de_cbble
| 12^ | 0 | 1 | marine |
| b0g | R | R | Apoc |
| thk | 8 | 16 | void |
| Disturbed | R | R | Forsaken |
A very boring set of results I know. With only 1 game from the top division taking place, you begin to hope the clans involved are taking the league seriously.
To make this post a tad more interesting, here are the results from division 2:
Map: de_cbble
| [12k] | 4 | 20 | 2xs |
| [RETAIL] | 1 | 0 | M2S |
| TWA | 3 | 21 | SA |
| NUKE | 0 | 1 | sYs |
A couple of rather nice reviews have appeared for week 1 and week 2, along with a preview of week 3.
Let's just hope the clans will respect the league a bit more and show up for the fixtures.

we need a superleague, of the best 10/15 clans in the UK, like SEL. i think the nearest thing is CSGN, but the divisions are too small. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Yeh, prmc was pretty tough...I've been told that training wont be that toughfor the first few weeks...or is it all lies?
I've spoke to a few people who have been on either PRMC or training (e.sys|Fest for one) so I've got a pretty good idea of what to expect :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Having said that though, fu*kin fairplay to anyone who goes for the full course, they are the most well trained and elite force worldwide, US marines! Pah! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

im thinking: clanONE, omg!, last chance, immiment, marines, disturbed, fcc, choke, unicon... basically clans of a good standard who will push the top clans, and wont split up next week. i know CSGN is close, but it isnt there yet, we need the equivalent of a CAL-i, or SEL in the UK, so everyone knows where they stand.
i was thinking last night that uk cs is a bit like Boxing - 14 different bodies all with different ideas on who is champion, so there isnt usually a consensus.

Thrown into the mix then you have the online/LAN separatism which so often opens up debates, with some clans only playing LAN, some only online and a few competing across both mediums.
UKT and ZeNi seem to have a pretty good table in place for ranking (though it’s out of date) and with a little work and promoting, I don’t see why that can’t be used as the definitive UK ranking system. Collating the results data from all “recognised” leagues and tourneys, these being decided upon by UKT when a Comp organiser requests their tourney being included into the UK rankings. (Based upon the skill level of clans playing in the highest division etc etc)
The National rankings could then be split into maybe 3 divisions of 20 clans in order to capture results from the clans that are competing, but not yet at the highest level, thus giving more clans incentive to join leagues, improve their level and their position within the Rankings.
E.g.: UK Ranking recognises, BWCSL, CSGN, Savage, ECSL, UKT, WCG etc. A points system is then agreed upon for Online and LAN and can vary dependant on the positions of the teams defeated by the victorious clan.
This is, naturally, a vague outline, but will then give people a clear indication of each Teams rank. It could in the long run improve the quality of UK CS, give League organisers a clear picture of who they should be placing in which divisions with opposed to simply using their own judgement and also hopefully attract the bigger names into Tourneys when there are Ranking points up for grabs.
Them main problem lies in the point Atemi mentions, someone actually putting in the time to set-up and maintain such a system. Ideally they need the backing of a well known CS/Gaming medium, such as UK! ;o) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

i went up there for a week with our cadets ages ago, and must have lost about 2 stone and got 400% fitter by the time i came back :D is the endurance run the cross country one with all the tunnels? i amusingly got stuck in the completely-underwater tunnel and nearly drowned :/ i don't think they have much need for big fat basts in the marines :P the high-wire course is ridiculously scary too :(
best of luck anyway. and i agree with posts near the top, the uk needs a 'premiership' cs league (a la SEL), with prizes to attract the top clans. it's sad that there's no companies willing to give that sort of investment yet :/ [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Granted, who wouldnt. But it shouldnt be the only reason that clans enter a league. If the quality of prizes arent to a high enough "standard" then the clan doesnt compete and thus you get the scattering of clans amongst the competitions we have at the moment.
If someone does set this up, off their own back, then surely some co-operation from the top clans during its conception would be appropriate? One season without prizes , surely beating the rest of the "elite" is a prize in itself? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
