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.

French casting organization OrigineTV with a VOD from the ESL Brink Last Chance Qualifier featuring Swedish Dyndra (consisting mostly of former DEFCON-members) and French Orbital.
Game starts 26 minutes in.
Cast is in French. Vive la fromage!
ModShoot’s “ExoBrink Cup #1” will run on the 26th of June at 3pm GMT. Due to the chance of high sign-ups we have agreed to raise the prize money to £350 if we have a minimum of 32 teams enter. The rules are the same as ESL bar the fact we are reducing the time limits from 20min down to 15min and Container City will be added back to the map pool.
With Brink being somewhat of a minor success over at ESL they have decided to expand their Brink section this coming month with daily cups, “versus nights” and some mysterious non-cash prizes tournament which is yet to be fully announced.
It’s been known for quite some time now, Team Dignitas will use most of their W:ET-team, along with their past ET:QW-star bjorn and former BFBC2-Epsilon player Rulah and the organization finally decided to make the BRINKish.eu number one ranked Brink team official.

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

With a spot in Mousesports on the line we got to see the biggest upset in Brink as of yet when the talked about favourites Hardware4u miss out on the opportunity to win the German ESL Brink Championship Qualifier.
Instead it was Team gamed!de (formerly known as Insert Coins) who managed to come back from LB and take home the qualifier. Not to take away anything from gamed!de but reports say H4u had issues with Steam during the final which forced them to play without their regular lineup for a period. It’s also weird how ESL haven’t managed to figure out that there should be some kind of advantage when coming from the WB, forcing the LB-team to win 2 maps. None the less, both teams advance to the group-stage but gamed!de may have got Mousesports thinking while making a name for themselves outside the German community.
It should be mentioned the gamed!de-organization have expressed that they are happy having “snapped” the former IC away from Mousesports. But we’ve seen what the power of G7 teams can do before.
Team gamed!de lineup:
Goddy (Team Captain)
Bullherby
Logan
Ryu
raXz
FlaCxStaRr
Congrats to gamed!de from the staff at BRINKish.

Europe - Team Dignitas, Epsilon eSports, Next Evolution, H2k-Gaming

myBRINK.net introduces a welcomed addition to the European Brink competitive family as they will be offering a set of three different leagues, Open, Intermediate and Invite among other things.
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.
