A really close war, 2:2 so far with some unexpected results. The last game, Insomnia vs. Casin, will be played next wednesday and it will decide the winner of this NationsCup edition.

*Update*

Insomnia won 2:1 in three nice games, so the winner of this NationsCup VIII edition is Team Bulgaria. Congratulations to both teams, see you in the next season!

The great day is here! Poland and Bulgaria will fight tonight at 19:00 CET.

Of course there will be a big coverage:

Waaagh! TV

More informations will be given as soon as possible.

Also, after the end of this NationsCup we will plan the start of the Fall Season so don't forget to follow ClanBase daily: we work hard for your entertainment.

Now turn off TV, dismiss your girlfriend and prepare your beer: everyone must be ready to watch some high quality games!

Yes! the rising Team Bulgaria will face Poland in the final, since RandomNE, Sweden captain, decided to leave the cup and to give them a walkover.

So, Spain automatically gets a walkover in the Consolations Final, while Bulgaria and Poland will show us another impressive performance in the end of this troublesome cup. Good luck to these players and enjoy your games in ClanBase!

The NationCup is not dead i'm happy to say, due to change of staff on clanbase.wc3 I the new Wc3 Game Supervisor will be finishing off this nationcup with the help of AShuN & Einhorn.
The Playoff tree has been updated and the Semi final games are as follows:

Team Bulgaria vs Sweden
Poland vs Spain


Sweden were awarded the win vs Team Russia due to a seeming lack of motivation from the Russian team to get the games played.

More Information coming very soon, if you have any questions you can find myself, Ashun or Einhorn in #clanbase.wc3.
Thanks, and we hope to get ready to rumble very soon.

It's summer, and vecation is here for everybody, including me. Therefore I do not see it possible for me to continue being the supervisor for this cup.

In the last couple of month, there haven't been mutch entusiasm surrounding the cup, I'm tired of the NC, it has given me nothing but problems. When I first came onboard I was hopping for a great experience, to meet some great persons and learn something new things about admining. I meet great persons, but things never turned into a great experience. I've learned something new, that is that I'm not returning to CB.wc3, I've always thought (and still do) that CB is one of the best organisations in it's field. But CB.wc3 is just to dead for me to participate in, maybe because of growing number of other leagues, I do not know.

I can truly say that my time here has been everything but pleasuring, some people might even has seen me as rude, but that was mainly because, in the end, I just didn't care anymore.

I do not know what will happen to the NC, but I know that I'm not the one to ask for now one. I wish goodluck to the best person in CB, aShuN, and everybody else that still is envolved with ClanBase's WC3 department.

You heard right! It's time for the Playoffs to set sail. Our last 8 attending teams will fight to become the ClanBase NationsCup champion!

In the field we see both newcomers and old favorits. Among the suprises we see teams as Bulgaria, Poland and Spain alle three teams with 4 wins and 0 losses.
Coming in second spot we got some of the bigger names. Russia came through with a 2:1 score, by help from a noshow against Germany and a 0:0 match against Serbia and Montenegro. I'm looking forward to see more from Russia in the playoffs!
We shall not forget the remaning teams, especially one of my favorits for the NC, Sweden this team has showed extreme strength only losing two maps in 4 matches!
Good luck to all the remaining teams, this cup couldn't have been made without you!
Just a notice to the teamleaders: Scedule your matches ASAP, so we don't get any default wins!

Yesterday I took the desion to make sure all wars was ended in a "okay" way. I managed to do so, non of the wars I ended would had, had any effect on the standings in the groups
The playoffs will now start, and the teams advancing is:

Group A:
Bulgaria 1.
Denmark 2.
Group B:
Sweden 1.
Netherlands 2.
Group C:
Spain 1.
Russia 2.
Group D:
Poland 1.
Austria 2.

Good luck to these 8 teams. I will get things starting as soon as I know how ...

This evening I desided, as the only Supervisor of the NationsCup, to clean up the remaining games!
I'm doing this because I want to get on too the playoffs so we can end this NC in a nice way. This years NC has probally been the most bumpy ever, so many things went wrong, and I was the in most cases the one who had to straighten it up (of course with great help from the persons at cb.wc3 (Daydreams, aShuN and Light).

What exactly I have done, is to cancel the matches that never was organised giving both team a score of 0. Also I removed France from the cup, because of two noshows.
I'm also sending out a warning to the teams that got postponed matches, if those matches aren't played ASAP I'm going to leave them out of the matchscore. I'll try contacting the teamleaders tomorrow by IRC, if I'm not able to ... I'll do as writen above. Whining is not going to help, I see this as necessary for the NC to survive.
