We would like to invite you and your nation to take part in the most prestigious Day of Defeat: Source event and fight for the virtual trophy that is in the hands of France at the moment, after their glorious win last year.

The Country Championship will start in February right after the EMS Season V is finished, the signups start on Monday the 11th January and end on Sunday the 7th February.

Keep in mind that you are only eligible of participating for countries where you own an actual passport from. On demand of most spectators and teams we will have a groupstage this season. Currently we are planning with 4 groups, but this number could increase if we get more singups then expected.

The choice of the captains will be in the hands of the local communities. Every country from all over the world is invited to take part in this competition, but since this is an European league, all matches have to be played on European servers and on European times, unless both teams agree on something different.

Every team is allowed to have a maximum of 12 players in the roster this season and two additional teammanagers, who arent allowed of taking part in play on the server. Also every team is allowed to swap 2 players during the groupstage.

We will release more informations about the mappool, ruleset and the playoff system during the next weeks. May the best country win!
