BRINKish.eu suffered a major setback during the spring of 2011 which is why all our content from 2009, 2010 and early 2011 is missing. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.
While we are working on making the best possible site for competitive Brink coverage we will use this fully functional site to keep you updated on what's going on in the BRINKish world with our main focus on Europe and the competitive scene on PC.

With Brink released in Europe just two weeks ago one might think it would be impossible to come up with a European Top 10 Rankings. Nuts you say and you might be right. But as we started planning on a monthly Brink Top 10 feature we just couldn’t resist doing one for May.
This may seem a bit drastic with little, next to no real competitive result to look at and with many teams not even having played most of the other teams which is why we decided to kick it off a little bit differently than what we will come to see in the future. We headed out talking to representatives of well over twenty different teams from all across Europe, we added some expertise from other competitive sites and we got a result.
So here it is ladies and gentlemen, the competitive European community have spoken. The BRINKish.eu European Brink Top 10 May 2011 (speculative) Rankings!
We asked for people to look for potential and speculative input, teams they’ve heard good things about, knew are good or saw some great potential in. We wanted them to rank their five top picks in order (1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 - with 1 being the best) and then add teams number 6-10 as a group, unranked and in no specific order.
We then compiled the results, a first place vote earns that team 10 points, 9 points for second place, etc. down to fifth. Teams number six to ten were all handed 3 points as teams below fifth place were harder to rank more specificity.
A glance on the list will quickly show that Team Dignitas is clearly on top, unthreatened. Below them, Team Hardware4u are in a tight encounter with Epsilon eSports competing for 2nd place just won by the Germans. Further down a group of three - RASTA GAMING, 6-1 and riZe Gaming, are within just 5 points. H2k-Gaming ends up in the middle of nowhere, still stable, while Veritas-Gaming and Power Gaming are safely securing their spots on the list with Next Evolution a bit behind the group on 10th.
So there it is. The general idea of who people combined seem to think belongs in the European top. Remember that this is not dead serious. Look at it as a speculative list with teams full of potential, a try to look into the future if you will. Exiting times are ahead of us and it will be great fun to look back and see just exactly how wrong (or right!) we were this early into the game. BRINKish.eu would also like to, again, say thank you to all of you who took your time to make this list possible.
