Currently we are planning with between 24 and 28 nations to attend, being splitted up over 4 groups.

After the success and intrest of the first two CMC`s we finally present a third and slightly different version. Again we consider custom maps here as maps that are not listed in our rotation for the main seasons. But the special thing is: this time we play the Detonation-Gameplay instead of fullcap-based area-control.

In December the activity increased again, not at last because teams could use the ladder to qualify for the First Champion of 2010 tournament.

As we announced in our <a href="/eu/dods/news/106302/Will-you-be-the-First-Champion-of-2010-/" target="_blank">last news</a> we are proud to announce the First Champion of 2010 tournament. Thanks to every team who played the ladder in december and made this event possible!

As the end of the Group Stage draws near, this post will feature the schedule for the remainder of the Cup, which will continue in Playoffs after the Christmas & Newyears break and the First Champion of 2010 Cup.

After the success and intrest of the first CMC we finally can present a second version. Again we consider custom maps here as maps that are not listed in our rotation for the main seasons. This time we test on request a promising new map made by PyLe and besides that we look across the atlantic and play some maps that are currently in north american league rotations.

In November we saw a decreased activity of the ladder, which certainly is going to change in December.

As a new tradition we are going to repeat an event connected to our 6on6 Ladder. If you can remember: After being on top of the ladder for the month of december we played a nightcup with the best contestants and myAtera - DODs was crowned as the First Champion of 2009. Here we go again!
