UK/IE Cup Opens Groupstage [Update]

Posted by Zorro- at 19:48 6/4/2004.


Clanbase UK/IE Cup II

The UK/IE CS Cup, one of the biggest and highly anticipated online CS competitions in the United Kingdom and Ireland, started its season with 136 accepted British and Irish CS teams. After three rounds of qualifiers this ammount was reduced to 40, and the Groupstage is ready to start its first out of five weeks.

More than a week after the draw of the eight groups, in which the teams were given the chance to prepare, the Groupstage finally starts today.

The matches in the groupstage will be played on two maps per match, using the MR12 system, which means a team needs 25 rounds to secure a win (2 rating points), allthough a draw (1 point) is also allowed. The maps in the first week are de_dust2 and de_clan1_mill.

Tuesday's Match (Opening Game)

  • 8pm, Rush! 31 - 17 contact! (Group B), report
Wednesday's Matches
  • 8.30pm, Alliance.cs Vs bleeding Edge (Group D), rescheduled
  • 9pm, fightclubclan 28 - 20 Point Five-O (Group A),
  • suiGeneris 25 - 12 outrage! (Group E),
Thursday's Fixtures
  • 8pm, euthanasia Vs China Numen (Group A), coverage TBA
  • 2seXeh 2perfoRm Vs Sector7G (Group C), #ukiecup.1 HLTV
  • xtra Vs xtreme9 (Group E), coverage TBA
  • 9pm, Shoot First Ask Later Vs code of eXecution (Group D), #ukiecup.2 HLTV
  • Assault Kommando Vs c4urself! (Group C), #ukiecup.3 HLTV
  • void.gaming (ex-quintessential) Vs viva La resistance! (Group G), #ukiecup.4 HLTV
Update:
Two teams have folded/went inactive in the past week, withdrawN! (Group C) and voLatile (Group H). voLatile was replaced by twisted Reality.
After long and hard deliberation with cup admins and respected figures in the cs community i have come to the decision to allow c4urself! a second bash at participating in the UK/IE league. With their recent performances at lan along with their improved attitude towards the game and the players that partake it it seems the logical choice to put forward as a replacement for withdrawN!, as a second chance I wish them luck, and am confident they wont dissapoint us.

Stay tuned in #ukcup for the latest coverage details and results.

logical based on the lifting of the reason not to let them in, as originally they would have been seeded in the top16 based on their no.4 position last season. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

19:30 7/4/2004
it was a replacement based on theoretical seeding in case they would have been in from the start, using the voids opened up by folded teams, like was done when Four Kings, I-eS, Rush! and intrigue replaced a team. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
Liq
20:10 7/4/2004
4k - replaced lc
rush - replaced void
i-es - replaced clan2e

they all replaced clans either berthed into the 3rd qualified round or the groupstage so hadn't played any matches, i.e they hadn't beaten anyone to take their place

then you have:

sw fold - replaced by contact who they beat in the 2nd quals round

efu are kicked - replaced by ee who they beat in the 3rd quals round (i know they've been reinstated now but the point still stands)

volatile fold - replaced by tR who they beat in the 3rd round of quals

then we have withdrawn - in the same category as sw, efu and vol but aren't replaced by the team they beat in the qualifiers, but c4u. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Ok lads, lesson learnt. Cheat and exploit for months, put in two decent lan performances and you'll be allowed back into each and every CB competition you were banned from for cheating!

That's just a laughable decision. They may be improving, but if only for the sake of consistency they should not have been allowed back in until the next tournament.

Once again CB drives home why it has maintained the reputation it has for so long [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

c4u wasnt banned for cheating DoZ, as the use of the smokebug exploit (in last season's semi final) wasnt regarded a bannable offense, yet a offense being sanctioned by a forfeit loss (if it was classed the worst type of cheating (wh/aimbot/etc) it would have been a global CB ban, which also is active for the OC and CSC.
The reason why they werent let in in the first place was their abusive behaviour/attitude and their instability, something they both have seemed to improve on enough to be given this second chance, alltho under supervision. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It's bulls***. With the hype around that game, the necessity of recoding demos and they STILL went ahead and used the smoke bug AND gave the demos out. And yet two byoc lans later they're completely reformed? What a joke, sure hope DK wasn't involved in that decision after his wanting to bring respect back to online competitions [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

as i said, they're under strict supervision, which means ineye demos if opponent requests so, all their (online) matches on Cupservers (with Stono's CSGN screenshot plugin), Cup HLTV (recording) + Cupadmin, so basically its a final chance. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

It'd be logical to use exactly the same rules for replacing clans as liq showed, and give them their final chance next cup. That's like giving a serial paedophile a last chance of becoming an upstanding member of society by giving them a temp job as an infant school teacher; throwing them right back in the environment that caused so much controversy in the first place irrespective of the other teachers who're capable and by all rights should be there instead.

Are you completely ignorant to the incessant use of cheats they've used in the past skank? Incidentally any and all comments here directed at "c4u" are really directed at "c4u minus Kyle"

The smoke bug is similar to the ass grope the paedo does after raping his whole class with the police watching and leading the children away [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Have to say i agree with Liq's point of view. It shows a real lack of consistency, i'd be p***ed of if it were my clan seen as other clans in the same position have been re-instated when other clans folded. I can see c4u being in the cup making it more interesting, but i think it's too late to let them in. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
