After a very drawn out Group Stage, the CEVO Tt Euro Invasion cup has finally hit the Playoff stage, with some very interesting and exciting teams left to fight for the Tt.eSPORTS gaming gear up for grabs. By the end of the next week, we should find a winner and a loser.
There were some massive scheduling problems during the Group Stage that resulted in a seemingly inactivity for the last several weeks. After constant talks from the competing teams, the admins of the CEVO website finally managed to set up the Playoffs bracket and put all the teams in their proper place.
One of the worst sponsored tournaments to happen. No communication or anything at all from CEVO for a long time then suddely they need the playoffs finished in one week with next to no notice.
I hope you agree not to play the match again, but the main admin wants us to play it again because we used TZAC instead of CMN3, as you requested. xD
I've written an answer to him on behalf of our manager, z1n0. Awaiting his reply.

tom is deffo right , even if CEVO is trying to make something cool for CoD , i'll never play on CEVO again
Why did you play on there server its an EU Tournament? Why wouldnt you play on your own, We were from NA and played in this and had to play on an EU Server because they didnt want to play on a north american server
Have to disagree with the common opinion here, cevo client is abit rusty I gotta admit that, but the rest of the cup was fine imo.. the only thing that went really bad is the amount of forfeit wins/losses that had to be made which isnt the fault of cevo.. about close to none notice, thats about right, but all I had to do was check my email regularly ..
We (epicon/orgyz) were playing every match so far until there was no info about the cup anymore and it seemed totally dead. They could have written a news post at tek9 at least a week before the playoffs started.
I just saw right now that we got a forfeit loss against you lmao :D
I don't use proper mail accounts to register at most websites so.
What Guana says is completely right, that system wasnt cool, about Epicon I checked you out before we should have played our match and your last 4 matches during the seeding were forfeited against you, so the thing you said wasnt entirely true

Oh well, we had to get a "noshow" (1-0) from imex, because the admins wouldn't accept that we played with TZAC instead of CMN3. The real result was 2-0 though:
Also, the admins gave us a 1-0 forfeit win against E-Sports c0re.

Sorry for what you guys feel, but lets look at some of the facts, despite us telling you over and over in the rules and everywhere and you still don't do it.
1. Teams flat out refused to schedule via match comms
2. Teams are refusing to use CMN3 saying that TZAC is just as good
3. Teams didn't file forfeits correcty (not in client, can't just post xfire logs etc.)
4. Teams flat out didn't play it because other stuff like corsair and CG came along at the same time.
5. We had issues only because of a transition time with admins experiencing real life problems and holidays hitting.
Most of these are easily avoided issues if teams would have just followed rules, but they have not.
When you go to the cup info and click on "rules" you will receive the message: "no rules available"
How should we know that you have to enter forfeits in CMN3 as well? Most people were totally new to the program so a short manual would have been convenient.

because its posted in your match comms, which you know, goes to all of your emails.
how do you expect people to play their games when you can't even get the dates right?
Delays occur when teams do not properly play on CMN3, and even when given multiple chances to do so, they still failed to do so, or even bother to try. That being said, we gave them as long as possible to rectify the situation before dealing forfeits. Dates are accurrate, but when your community can't even bother to properly use anticheat, and keeps therefore delaying their own matches this is what happens.
cevo match comms said:
This is your Upper Bracket Round 2 Match of the Tt eSPORTS European Invasion Cup Playoff Bracket. The format is Best of Three (/rcon promod_mode knockout_mr12 or /rcon promod_mode match_mr12) map VETO.
The map pool is, as always: Backlot, Citystreets, Crash, Crossfire, and Strike.
Veto will be decided by knife round on mp_crash.
The winner is the team that wins TWO MAPS. In the event of overtime on a map, enter "/rcon promod_mode knockout_mr3" into your console. There can be no ties on a map, so a clear winner must be decided during an Overtime period.
CMN3 IS REQUIRED!!! ANYONE WHO DOESN'T USE IT RISKS DISQUALIFICATION!! !
This is an example of the post made in match comms, which all teams can see and it goes to their emails. In there it says clearly to use cmn3, and people still weren't doing it. hence the delay to properly play the playoffs. Furthermore we've reiterated during the regular portion of the tournament that they had to use Match comms. Everytime the scheduling thread is updated, it goes to the associated teams' emails.
considering the fact that all others big tournaments like excello, dignitas, esh runs amazingly well compared to cevo I'm pretty sure the problem is over at you
as already been mentioned, there wasn't even any rules on the site

Considering we got 127 teams for the FREE NA tournament with the exact same format/site/anti cheat(europe couldn't even reach 100 :/), and considering we've had no problem out of the eu css community, i'd probably recheck that statement.
ridiculous Administration, Team eXtasis, the team that was eliminated by the most illogical overturn in the world, thnx again cevo admins for being the most awful and racist with Latin American teams ;).
and IP team, u rly suck, win a match like thisway is just the noobest thing, btw, u can see why this guys dont wanna play again with us...
So many problems. Refuse crashing 2-3 times, piika kept getting 6 in ping and just randomly timed out. Champ had 600 ping, and my pc crashed as well and had lags cos of cmn.
