Electronic Sports League Update

Posted by enc|mike at 13:35 22/12/2004.

Last week Realf1re announced that the ESL was taking an interest within the UK scene by opening a little 32-man Tournament and a Seasonal League in 2005. The ESL has now announced the 32 teams which will be playing towards a prize of a Match Server and a set of 6 Steelpads for its members:

The ESL has had a lot of stick about the teams it allowed into the Tournament but the competition is open for everybody and not just the "select few" teams that are at the forefront of the UK scene. We started this project on the UK as it seems to be in the worst state we've seen in along time.

We are looking at plans for future LANs, with something going along the same lines as our German EPS. We hope to have your support in this venture as well as support to the teams who have placed their trust in the ESL already by applying for our 32-man Tournament.

We hope you will wish them the best of luck within the Tournament and also that you will join them in participating within the ESL Seasonal League launching after its completion.

You can check on the teams for the CS 5on5 MR15 Tournament by viewing the news post on their site.

CD is amazing we had it on r server a few years back but it was a b***h trying to get a game and when we did ppl would just leave/join as they were stuck at spawn

used to play loads on choke's CD server and once again its amazing how s*** ppl r

CD + soundcheck should work fine

Idiot's guide to German:

Montag = Monday (hi...)
Dienstag = Tuesday
Mittwoch = Wednesday
Donnerstag = Thursday
Freitag = Friday
Samstag = Saturday
Sonntag = Sunday

and fyi, there is a LANGUAGE SELECTION area at the bottom of the left nav table. english is the one with the union jack, thats the one with the blue background and the white and red crosses overlayed. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Some things are still in German yeah. Like the dates on the matches etc.

Its all currently being worked on by the site admin team so hopefully it should all be abit more "English" soon. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

agreed, the clan control centre thing is too cumbersome tbh mike.

i hope this goes well tho and it's not proliferated with cheating idiots. this is a decent chance for the community to kick it's arse into gear and take a step or two forwards.

am just gutted we're bound to get a s*** seeding cos we're only a month old and end up playing last chance in the first round :S

Logos are simple and nice enough. But on the whole the layout of the website isn't particularly user friendly. Cluttered menus with options that a lot of people will rarely if ever use. As for the command centre... ;-) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
