the ClanBase Enemy Territory EuroCup XXVI has come to an end. Sixteen clans took part in the groups stage of this EC - eight of which moved on to the playoffs. While four unlucky teams were unable to prove their ability this season through qualifying matches.

This edition provided a lot of exciting games and some really unexpected results, even at start of season none can predict that kings evolve to be one of the finalists and as you can see, they reach the golden trophy

Premier League

Last but not least, this season would not have been what it was without the help and specially the support of the ET crew, cupadmins and YOU : the players. A very special thanks to ohurcool and fanatic for their help, patience and friendship, and especially for being on my side in every moment

I would like to thank also the GamesTV.org crew for providing ETTV, shoutcasts and giving great show to viewers.

This season has finally closed, but we promise to return for a next and exciting season.
Thanks to you all, merry X-mass and Happy new Years

Playoffs matches - rules

1. A playoff match is played at least on 2 maps. Both clans select a map from the map list before the start of the match and inform the cup admin at least 30 minutes before the match is set to start. The admin will not announce maps until both teams have confirmed their choices with him/her. In case both teams have chosen the same map, the second map will be selected with the conventional method of map elimination, preceded by a cointoss. The admin will choose which map is played first.

2. One SW round will be played on each map.

3. The admin will choose which map is played first.

4. Each team will decide on which side to start on the map chosen by their opponent.

5. Round wins are added to determine the score: the team that wins a SW round receives 2 points; if both teams fail to set a time in a SW round, both teams will get 1 point. So possible scores after the two first maps are: 4-0 3-1 2-2.

6. In case the game is tied, an extra SW round is played on one of the remaining maps from the maplist. Teams take turns eliminating maps. The winner of the coinflip eliminates the first map, followed by the other team until one map is left to be played. When a map is selected, the team which didn't have final pick chooses who attacks first.

7. Clans are forbidden to chose the same map, previously selected in their two most recent playoff games.

No free days allowed - No more WildCard can be used - good luck to you all
