ESL Nations Championship 2010 announced


2010 is the year of the big competitions on national level with the Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, the Football World Cup in South Africa and the Day of Defeat: Source Nations Championship over at the ESL site!

ESL would like to invite you and your nation to take part in the most prestigous Day of Defeat: Source event and fight for the virtual trophy that is in the hands of France at the moment, after their glorious win last year.

The Nations Championship will start in February right after the EMS Season V is finished, the signups start on Monday the 11th January and end on Sunday the 7th February.

Keep in mind that you are only eligible of participating for countries where you own an actual passport from. On demand of most spectators and teams we will have a groupstage this season. Currently we are planning with 4 groups, but this number could increase if we get more singups then expected.

The choice of the captains will be in the hands of the local communities. Every country from all over the world is invited to take part in this competition, but since this is an European league, all matches have to be played on European servers and on European times, unless both teams agree on something different.

Every team is allowed to have a maximum of 12 players in the roster this season and two additional teammanagers, who arent allowed of taking part in play on the server. Also every team is allowed to swap 2 players during the groupstage.

We will release more informations about the mappool, ruleset and the playoff system during the next weeks. May the best country win!

bouhm, you drunk?

Capitans can play - in game team leaders
Managers cant. - people who are good @ running things, keeping ppl up to date but maybe crap @ the game :D

I'm glad it is not overlapping the EMS season.

15 aKaaa is offline United Kingdom aKaaa zeroPoint! Gaming  2010-01-10 20:02:59 CET

#9 then they are your captains :P easy peasy!!

The managers idea is just bought in from other games, I doubt its even necessary for people to have them but as RiN said tront is always a prime UK finger for supporting teams :)

16 jalaji is offline Spain jalaji 2010-01-10 20:09:32 CET

The three players from the same team rule is still there?
It's fucking retard to have it for DoDS, it's not CSS or CoD where they are EPS and EAS with 5000 teams :S

no wait... -.-'

19 HyunA is offline Korea HyunA zeroPoint! Gaming - Teams  2010-01-10 20:23:26 CET

the manager rule is the same as in the ems....

a teamcaptain can shedule all matches and all the shizzle and play. teammanger spots are e.g. for inactive organisators who dont play the game actively as e.g. fAn for team germany.
no nation has to take a teammanager in, but they are allowed to fill the lineup with 2 of these. its a bonus, not a duty


gl all participating nations

20 akiR0 is offline Italy akiR0 2010-01-10 20:25:17 CET

belGium for the Win !

23 aKaaa is offline United Kingdom aKaaa zeroPoint! Gaming  2010-01-10 21:00:56 CET

#16 sorry jal, I think if we do not keep the rule, it will literally be TLR with matti vs w4sp with micHiii vs regless with dzer ;-)

it allows more people to play : ) but your correct, we do not have many teams and it may be hard.

24 mattiiii is offline England mattiiii 2010-01-10 21:10:06 CET

I like the 3 per team rule, just makes it a bit more interesting imo.

25 RiCkii is offline Uruguay RiCkii 2010-01-10 21:25:12 CET

#22 do you think we have 6 :o

26 hph is offline Germany hph 2010-01-10 21:37:29 CET

#23 I dont think the rule is good.
If the best british and spanish players play in one Team so let them play.
Every nation should be able to send the best team.
And im sure with or without the rule not only w4sp players would play for germany.

27 sensee is offline Norway sensee 2010-01-10 21:49:56 CET

GO TEAM.VIKINGS!! ................ x(

28 HyunA is offline Korea HyunA zeroPoint! Gaming - Teams  2010-01-10 21:52:06 CET

the point of the nationscup is that players from different teams unify for their country and fight for the glory, not to create yet another teamchampionship. we already got enough of them. the rule has always been like that, we had enough problems with that last season when instant was basicly team germany + kalinka and we didnt moan.

29 jalaji is offline Spain jalaji 2010-01-10 22:10:58 CET

Well yes, but it's no the same. Just need to watch the football national teams, they are a lot of players from the same team playing in it at the same time.
Nations Cup is supposed to take place with the best teams of every country, and that can't be done with that rule.
For example, UK team should have five of TLR players :3

30 RiN is offline England RiN 2010-01-10 22:14:31 CET

but theres only 4 uk players in tlr :o.. who's this 5th i hear about!!

34 BaRs is offline Georgia BaRs zeroPoint! Gaming - Writer  2010-01-10 22:35:22 CET

but what should do the nations that only have one or two clans?
as i know there is a lot of teams from Germany, France, Spain, UK but what about others?

35 aKaaa is offline United Kingdom aKaaa zeroPoint! Gaming  2010-01-10 22:36:55 CET

UK has three :) :D

tbh Id understand teams like georgia being allowed to enter as team georgia :)

36 jalaji is offline Spain jalaji 2010-01-10 22:43:25 CET

#35 Don't really think they have internet there .... :D

37 fAn is offline Germany fAn zeroPoint! Gaming  2010-01-10 22:45:29 CET

yes we work on a exception for teams like georgia, we had in mind to skip the rule for countries that have max. 2 teams in the open league, the exact thing will be announced within the signup stage.

and as michiiii said the manager rule thing is just an optitonal topic, if you do not need one you can enter the cup with just 6 players as minimum

42 Dream is offline Spain Dream zeroPoint! Gaming - Writer  2010-01-11 00:38:30 CET

43 ruohiz is offline Guam ruohiz 2010-01-11 00:43:56 CET

Finland (rctic/estar mix) to win it. Just make sure the captain isn't a complete rtard :D

44 aKaaa is offline United Kingdom aKaaa zeroPoint! Gaming  2010-01-11 00:47:11 CET

Should be an awesome event :) team UK gotta go for it this year after last years mistakes [french rules again :D they know it, no one else does for 6 months style]

49 rnl is offline Saint Pierre and Miquelon rnl 2010-01-11 13:36:30 CET

#48 gotta say I agree somewhat with you there, but for some reason he can't seem to bring the same level he has in pcw:s to offis, for example rctic has beat estar in a number of praccs but got raped in an offi :E

and I was the king of plaza with an smg roflz =D
