All CB Cups are about to get into the playoffs. According to this I decided to make a short revision of them. More inside.
TDM Cup Spring 2004
We have few matches left in this cup but places 1st 2nd and 3rd has already been divided. In first and secod league at least.
Premier League
Group A :
1. sYnthesis 
2. Wizards 
3. Armia Krajowa
4. Overkill 
5. Solaris
en Causa morbi and Vires Alit  had dropped from the cup according to lack of active players (vT) and ban for sorax (eA). That's a pitty. Especially with eA because they were one of the biggest favourites to win this cup. Anyway situation in this group is very interesting. OK have started to play very well recently and they managed to defeat sYnth even or 2.0 (in euroq2l) but unfortunately they've lost they last match with Wizards. If they had won it they would be in playoffs. Moreover they would have taken first place in this group. Now I don't know if they will advance cause they had lost with aK earlier and both clans has the same stats. sYnth and Wizards has the same stats too, they drawed 1:1 but sYnth had better frag difference I guess so they're starting playoffs from the first place.
Group B :
1. Two Point O
2. Elite Mates
3. play
4. 187 
5. Kontula
6. moriquendi
First place is still unknown here. 2.0 was supposed to play with 3m yesterday but 3m took wildcard. They hadn't been on warchannel 1 hour before the match so according to the rules 2.0 had the opportunity to pick any server they wanted. 3m pinged badly on these ones so they decided to postpone the match. 3rd place will be surely taken by swedish clan play. There's nothing more to do in this group cause all matches exept 2.0 vs 3m were played. Oh I forgot to mention that HBQ had left the cup.
Playoff pairs will be :
1/4 :
Wizards vs play
aK/OK vs 2.0/3m
(first places takers are waiting for winners of 1/4 matches and then they're playing 1/2 final)
Second League
Group A :
1. CURSE 
2. ArenA
3. eXTazy Clan 
4. Cutting Edge
5. Fear Factory
6. Vadrigar E-Sports 
Dutch clan CoD had dropped from the league. I guess they decided that they'll be only instagib players from now. Just like they were before Cup. In this group everything gone according to the predictions. CURSE had owned all opponents and won all their matches (only xTz managed to win map with them). Second place for ArenA according to predictions too and third for lithuanian xTz.
Group B :
1. eat Slugs 
2. quake 2 executors
3. Gods of Zeus Army
4. Brotherhood of Death
5. Too Agressive
6. Pro Railerz
In "Polish group" rA had dropped. It's a pitty cause they had chances to enter the playoffs maybe or whatever but with as stupid cl as sobciu they were just unable to set the match date. The first 3 clans are damn tight ones. I don't know who takes first place ( q2e or eS ) cause both clans has the same stats and they had drawed. Q2e had better frag difference then. Third place goes to lithuanian clan GZA .
The playoff pairs gonna be :
1/4 :
ArenA vs GZA
xTZ vs eS/q2e
Third League
Group A :
1. victory
2. Elders Clan Federation 
3. bier hier
4. sdkgm 
5. Quakers
6. Invincible Creatures
7. Paar De Lul
Dunno much about 3rd league at all cause I'm not interested with it very much. I can see that victory is very strong clan and they're gonna surely win 3rd division. They've got few good players like Pegleg or Orion.
Group B :
1. Lords of Terror
2. Invisible Soldiers
3. Satan Proxies 
4. Death Rattle 
5. Alpha Force
6. Made In Russia 
7. Morana Clan 
Same as in group B NO DROPS here! That's pretty big success comparing with other CB Cups and even higher divisions of this one.
playoff pairs will be
1/4
ecf vs SP
bh vs IS

CTF Cup Spring 2004
The Cup which was supposed to be the best one ever became actually one of the shittiest at least in Premier League. Main reason of it are the dropouts...50% of First League Teams left the cup and 25% of Third League as well. I'm only glad that Second is really nice this year (only 1 dropout).
Premier League
1. The Virial Theroem 1040
2. I don't Care
3. en Causa morbi
4. ewcia wymiata cyckami
ZiM left the cup according to lack of active key players. Some of them (including szyna) hasn't got a computer now so they are unable to finish this league. 1dt  was kicked from the cup. The reason was "ping faking" or something. I think that this is the most shitty thing I've ever seen in Q2 leagues so far... If you wanna know more : link. vVv left the building because of ping problems or smthg. They're dissapointed cause nobody wants to play on their homeserver. And BBQ left too. I don't know why. It was said that the reason was 1dt pingfaking or maybe lack of the players and motivation. As you can see it's really shitty, isn't it? :{
Second League
Group A :
1. Nordic Quakers
2. Rising Sun
3. Bomb the Base
4. Gladiators
5. Elite Mates
NQ owned the group and Rs was better than BtB this time so they're goint to the playoffs. 3m isn't that strong clan as their TDM division so they hadn't been any competition for the rest.
Group B :
1. World Organization of Quakers
2. Belachelijke Hazelnoten
3. Ism
4. ewcia wymiata siusiakiem
5. Shabby's Turnoast abandoned
Well I expected this group to look different. Too bad that Ism didn't advance to playoffs and too bad that they're started to use their strongest players like provi too late. Latvian clan Utopia has left the cup according to shitty pings.
Group C :
1. Dutch Tactical Fighters
2. Psycho Killers Squad
3. To Itself Clan
4. Latvian United Quakers
5. Riders of Apocalypse
hymm. Too bad that RoA got so much weaker than in last season. The key players are gone and now they can't do very much in cup matches. First place for DTF according to predictions. A surprise is that LUQ which have been showing really nice skills in the past finished 4th.
Group D :
1. TuR!
2. Nomen est omen
3. Savage Hardcore
4. Fear Factory
5. Play like real Zero
Everything gone according to the plan. TuR 1st, omen second. FF isn't that strong as it was in the past. [0] plays like real zero indeed :}}.
Here are the playoff pairs :
1/4
Rs vs WOQ
PKS vs TuR
bh vs NQ
omen vs DTF
wish ya all gl.
Third League
1. uberl33t d4kj3
2. Brotherhood
3. Paar De Lul
4. eXtreme Maniacs
5. splash damage kg.mondsee (sponsored by dove)
6. Night Warriors
DROPOUTZ : Made In Russia and polish Death Hunters . On the other hand we have dutch ownage. Seems like three dutch clans are going to the playoffs here.
And what can we say about Instagib Cup. This one is a bit less interesting to spectacors. Watch instagib demo and you will understand why :}. No special TP, no powerups, only ping and rg accuracy does matter. For those who are interested much I suggest to check out the CUP www. I can tell few words from a player pov :) . There were only 2 dropouts : rA and MiR. In both groups we have lot of tight matches. Instagib is a q2 mod where everyone can beat everyone if pings are fair. More info at Cup WWW.
