Welcome to the invitations of the ClanBase ET SW 6on6 EuroCup XXV. Hereby I'd like to invite everyone to join #clanbase.et - private channel for CL and WA of EC teams #EuroCup.priv ( password on demand to admin ) to talk about the invitations. This also is the channel to join for coverage around all the matches (including qualifiers).
The announcement will look like this:

• The Cup format
• The Map list
• The Invitations
• Direct invites
• Qualifiers

This 25 edition of the ClanBase ET SW 6on6 EuroCup will have a similar format to last season's EuroCup with 4 direct invites and 16 Qualifiers.

The group stage will be composed of 4 teams per group, with 4 groups in total, for 16 participating teams combined. Qualifier teams will be placed in pools. Each group will consist of one team from each pool. Thus producing the following:

• The 4 Directly Invited teams will be placed in Pool 1.
  
  
• The 16 Qualifier teams will be split up into 8 pairs; therefore producing 8 winners and 8 losers.
  The 8 winners mentioned above will split up into 4 pairs as well, the 4 winners from this split up will proceed to Pool 2, the losers will proceed to Pool 3.
  The remaining 8 teams which initially lost, will be split up into 4 pairs as well, and the 4 winners from this split up will proceed to Pool 4, while the 4 losers will drop out of EuroCup XXV and join the Premier Division of OpenCup Spring 2012.

The Invitations

Clans are selected for EuroCup participation based on their stability (i.e. the ability to complete leagues) and their strength as proven by official match results (or the results of their players in other clans)
Practice results are irrelevant.
Unproven clans only have been considered if their players have completed competitions with top clans before.


As announced earlier, this cup will feature 16 clans.
From those 16 clans, 4 spots are filled with direct invites.
The remaining 12 spots will be decided by qualification matches.
The 4 invitations are ordered alphabetically by the flag of their country and the clannames as they appear on ClanBase.
The 16 qualifiers are saved for last.
Keep in mind; you're more than welcome to talk about the invitations in #EuroCup.priv / #ClanBase.et
