Call Of Duty: EG return to CEVO against Iconic in 4:2

By: Kyle Feeley - Published August 18, 2008 at 8:12 PM EDT - Writer Archive
CEVO-P revisits mp_crash one last time as season two rounds the halfway point.
With the completion of 4:2 this evening, CEVO-Professional will be halfway through its second season. While normally at this juncture it would make sense to start putting together a playoff picture, there are a few subtleties which must first be considered. For example, Evil Geniuses are 1-0 after seven match nights. Pandemic are similarly afflicted having made up a few of their matches since returning from Europe and sit at 3-1. So while FocaL, x3o, and Awakening presently occupy the final three playoff slots, a lot remains to be seen.

One of the most interesting games going live tonight features 50cal and x3o. Fresh off of their first loss this season, 50cal look to bounce back with a big win. With back to back overtime wins heading in, x3o definitely will not be easy to take down. A win in the middle of the season against a top team could catapult x3o into safer playoff waters while a loss would throw them into middle tier uncertainty. Top ranked Dynamic (8-0) played their match against Awakening early and took the win 14-10. LFS will try to keep their position in the top three against an underperforming maingear squad. Also tonight, EG return to CEVO competition with a match against Iconic and Pandemic gets back on track with a game against MoBdeep. Matches are live now, stick with GotFrag for live score updates throughout the night.

Not sure #11, but I think we were as prepared as we could possibly get going into the match for them. We just let it slip away at the end.

#22 he is right. Ian is being a fagot this season about playing on or before the match date. He would rather have ffw's than actually having teams win... Its a fu*king joke. This game needs as much help as it can get and we are forcing teams to forfeit. Makes sense to me.

#24 pandemic made up a match against focal with four players for twenty rounds more recently

#22 two things were made extremely clear before the season began:
1) hijacking would be enforced
2) schedules would be adhered to

s1 was a complete mess in part because teams had it in their heads that they could force opponents to reschedule at their convenience. additionally, if a match is agreed upon and scheduled, it absolutely should be played or forfeited. however, i would argue that if a match is not finalized in match comms and one team is requesting a reschedule, that they at least be at the mercy of their opponent to offer an additional day and not sentenced to death by a hard and fast league mandate.

Either way it's not an easy call and I've got Ian's back for doing what he said he would.

#21 we only had 4 on. But w/e everyone knows the drill when it comes down to rescheduling : it's always a mess. The only thing that bothers me is why can EG/Pandemic push back all their matches for weeks and we can't push back ours for one day. Europe or not they knew what they were doing. Whatever were still going to make playoffs which is all that matters to us.

#26 I understand it may was getting out of hand but christ it's summer you can't expect people to be everyday @ their computer, some people go on vacation and shit. Moreover you probably know that when you try to reschedule the opposite team always have the best reasons in the world not to be able to play another day ( Not talking about x3o here but just in general).

You can agree with both sides of the story. No Offense to x3o, but if they really wanted to give 50cal the extra day, they easily could have. Pandemic would have been forced to play us last night "on the scheduled night" 4v5. Since they asked us to reschedule we're pushing it to tonight and didn't have to ask CEVO|tannehill about it. Its simply being a good sport about it. On the same topic, it is good that CEVO is being more strict on keeping schedules strict but I think if a team needs to push a match for the day after it should be allowed. On the topic of Pandemic and EG not playing up to their usual standards Pandemic played focaL 4v5 for 20-21 rounds and only lost 11-13 along with being quite inactive since their return home. Same story with EG not having practiced yet since their return earlier this week. GL to -p- and EG should be a good pair of matches tonight :)

I'm not mad at you McGrath$, don't worry.<3 EDIT: Grim told us he would not play another day, because you guys have a set schedule and could not play a crash match on a crossfire preparation day (lol).

I just think its silly that EG and -p- can push all of their matches back for weeks (even a month in some cases ?), but we cannot push it back one day.

I mean come on guys, RL>CoD, sometimes teams need a day or two because life doesn't revolve around video games!

#26 Is right, it has been known that the schedule would be enforced. It's not always pretty, but if nothing else teams should begin, if they haven't already, gearing to have a ready roster of six ready to play. My entire team has each other's cell phones. Try it, sometimes it helps.

What I WOULD however like to say is that there should be no reason that if two teams agree to reschedule (e.g. neither can field five one night, or a team has sympathy) ONCE for a day before the second match is played. I don't understand how that could be so hard. If nothing else, it will make things easier for Feeley and his preds/results. One day to pred, one day to results. HOLL@

#27 has a valid point, but really? I'm pretty sure just about every team this season has played at least one match without their starting five and has paid dearly for it. We're in cevo-p, if you're not stratting your brains out you don't have a stones throw at winning convincingly... and throwing someone who hasn't played with you all week into the machine is a sure fire failure. So, like I said, start playing with a sixth who's willing to /kill and be a permanent ringer. Most of us have lives, he's going to play.

You CANNOT play later than the scheduled day. We were trying to reschedule for the next week with pandemic, but Tannehille said we have to play it, even if they can't field 5. So we let them use a ringer, x3o could have done the same.

I apologize nabore, thought you meant the match against us, checked the ss and saw 5 players didn't look at the scores. <3

All I got out of reading the last 15 posts was that ian is a homosexual. Was there another message anywhere here?

FFW's suck for both teams because it'll rape both team's CPI. GL making playoffs with more than 1-2 FFW's.


Also I love all the 50cal guys but the real life argument can only take you so far. If you can't plan ahead and clear two days of the week to play your CEVO-p matches then maybe it's time to reconsider playing in the league. I know you guys are just in it for fun but you need to respect your opponents taking the time out of their week to show up and play you on the designated nights. If you can't do that then you shouldn't expect them to reschedule around you.

u guys fail to understand that cevo will only under either extreme circumstances (AKA PANDY EG BEING IN EUROPE), or admin error reschedule matches or give extensions PAST MATCH DAY... we have been strict with it all season and will continue to do so. u guys have match schedules for the entire season already laid out for you guys.. if u cant field 5 then it is no 1's fault but your team captain or team itself..aka.... if u cant field 5 then start recruiting. i agree with the way cevo p is handled regarding matches being completed on time and we'll continue to FF teams. funny i generally only see this problem in cod and not in other games like css cevo p for example.

If you join cevo-p, knowing how the system works, and then can't plan ahead, or get a proper backup, and then have to forfeit a match, whose fault is that?

You guys are acting like typical children who can't take responsibility for anything.

On a side note, I heard rob-wiz rang for pandemic for a match, I would hope that he would not be allowed to play with EG in a match for that same week, because I think it is against cevo rules to play 2 matches for the same match week (for example 4:1) on 2 different teams. We will see if cevo enforces this or if teams like EG and Pandemic are above the rules.

#39 I said it and I'll repeat it again, I agree that they needed to get stricter on when match were going to be played because obviously the situation was getting out of hand. But hell, as I said 343843 times : it's summer, people go on vacation sometimes with the family so it's never something you always really know a huge amount of time before. Moreover there are always some imponderable stuff that happens. Out of our 7 players roster 3 couldn't make it. (So yes we have backups) Mike couldn't show up yesterday for good reasons, limit is out of the town for a week and god knows where was sharpie. so we tried to reschedule as soon as Mike told us he wouldn't be there(which is I believe was before the match date) (should be fine imo)
But yeah thanks for being good sports(lol). GL HF for the rest of the season.

That shows that obviously that new cevo rule needs to be revised. Imo, rescheduling should be possible as long as the match is being played a day or two after the initial date.

My last post about this, pz.

You should get a week if both teams agree to it, I cant see what that would hurt. I honestly think x3o could have played the next day and nobody would have said anything but they wanted the easy win against a good 50. cal team right now.

That's not what I meant. My whole point is that it's retarded that we can't reschedule ( I doubt x3o would of even if we could but still that's not the point I'm trying to bring here) especially the summer because you cannot expect every single of your players to be there. I don't see how having a flexible date of 1-2 days would be so much trouble. Because obviously if we could of played just a single day after everything would of been FINE.

I find it funny how you try to act like your team is any professional when you're the first one to debate you have a life and that everyone who takes this game seriously have no life. Good Riddance.
