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.

Just giving everyone an update on what is happening, at this very moment in time we currently have 29 teams with 103 users registered.
Unfortunately majority of the 29 teams don’t have a roster of five players or more. So please can all current teams signed up on the website make sure they have all members added to their squads before the 30th June.
If you don’t have five players on your squad before the date above your team will not be seeded in to the league.
Just another little update, myBRINK v2 is under construction and is currently being coded with a bespoke league script to give you additional features and control over your league. More news on v2 will be coming soon…
If your team still isn’t signed up head over to www.mybrink.net and register! We still have spaces just make sure your squad is all signed up before the deadline.
If you have any questions please head over to IRC quakenet #myBRINK

ModShoot, a small gaming based start-up from the UK has announced “ExoBrink Cup #1”. The event will take later this month (June) and already has interest from some of the top teams in Europe. ExoBrink will use basic ESL rules apart from the time limits that are being cut from 20min down to 15min. Also, Container City will be added back into the map pool. Any and all feedback appreciated.
To get an idea of sign-ups, please leave your team name within the comments and the likely hood you would be entering.
More info to follow soon.

Its been almost two to three weeks since Brink got released and by them some patches and updates have been given out by Splash Damage. Today, Splash Damage revealed that they will be releasing a DLC for Brink in PC, Xbox360 and PlayStation 3. The DLC contains many things such as new maps, new weapon attachments, new player abilities and much more. One big additional thing to all this will be the overall player statistics that will be pre-released to the Xbox360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version of that will come, according to Splash Damage. The release for the statistics will come this Tuesday for Xbox360 and PlayStation 3. (like mentioned - a pre-release) Also noted is that the level cap in the game will be increased by 4 new levels which means that the maximum level will be: level 24.
The new FREE DLC is called “Agents of Changed” and is planned to be released somewhere in June.
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.
