We will of course be bringing you full coverage of ESWC 2011. Should you have any questions regarding anything related to the event, then feel free to write it in a comment below and we will do our best to give you an answer.

Also, if you have not signed up for our ESWC 2011 Dreamteam, then what are you waiting for? To read more about the Dreamteam and find out what prizes are up for grabs, simply click here.

Note that since the schedule is not particularly Dreamteam-friendly, the market will open at the end of each day, regardless of which stage the competition is at, so you will have to adapt your team to the circumstances.

2011-10-21 14:23

geez you choose them? i'm going to feup, porto and for these few first weeks the schedule just sucks >:

2011-10-21 17:23

4 replies

porto man? im really sorry for u, really.. im from porto, and i'd choose Coimbra any day of the week,

2011-10-21 22:04

i've heard feup is pretty good university to go to if you want some kind of engeneering, actually i was told it was the best in portugal :p but as far as i now coimbra's university is pretty good as well! i'm from braga...

2011-10-21 23:12

it depends. mundoportugues.org/content/1/9798/univer.. look here for example, we are clearly the best pt university, by far. our students association is older than the Porto university itself, we receive a lot of foreign students, we send a lot of pt students abroad, we are year after year considered the best pt university, we have a academic life like no other in the world, we have history, the rest are merely a weak copy of Coimbra university :) not trying to be arrogant nor anything, but cmon look at this video and u'll understand it all youtube.com/user/hugoportooo#p/a/u/0/Nld.. but yeah, i heard that feup is pretty good to, but dont let urself be kid about the ratings, for example LAW rating in Coimbra is ~14 values every year, in Porto is like ~16 or so, but we have almost 350 SPOTS while in Porto 100! u know what i mean? :) but i hope u have a GL no matter what :) porto is a dangerous city, not like coimbra, there are only students in there, the city is almost empty @ weekends :)

2011-10-21 23:49

i don't even know in which campus are they teaching law xD i do believe in what you said but so far i'm not disappointed in choosing oporto ;D and i also found this piece of news a while back webometrics.info/rank_by_country.asp?cou.. the ranking is made out of a different survey group which would explain the differences but both of them can only mean we're going to great universities :)

2011-10-22 00:04

universidade :P tenho poucas aulas! :P

2011-10-21 16:15

Good, but this shedule is bad for DT.

2011-10-21 10:47

2011-10-21 01:34

u gotta love polish english :) and their love for AGAiN.

2011-10-21 13:21

It's not his English, the problem is that there are no commas.

Haha stupid? If it's no commas, spelling is fucked up, and the sentences is completely wrong. It's HIS english. gtfo.

2011-10-21 18:10

AGAIN go! Win it easy. Warmup against AA and redbyte. Next, more hard (ok, it's it will be harder) with esc and lions, and next, standard, mayby (maybe) win, mayby (maybe) nope it should be not). He would pass the test, probably with low grade, but he would pass. :D

2011-10-22 10:34

I guess you don't really get what an english grade is? That's like kindergarten english. He would not pass any kind of test.

2011-10-22 21:40

We bring you a complete schedule for the French event, allowing you to plan when to get up or how late to stay up. Yeah, we'll see about that. I already know to set my alarm 3 hours late because this tourny wont start anywhere NEAR their posted times.

2011-10-21 01:36

+ still, i'm sure that in the day i'll waiting for this delay and couting on it, they'll will play right on time.

2011-10-21 01:50

why the fuck do they make the event on the weekend then have the good matches on monday when most people are working? bunch of morons.

The games will be delayed as always, so you will make it after work time. x)))

2011-10-21 01:46

lets hope. third place decider starts at 4 here, im off at 4:30 and will be home for sure for the finals.

2011-10-21 06:57

some people work on morning and afternoon... but hell who cares, i'm on vacations in october :D

2011-10-21 10:57

hahaha, u've already said that ur'e going on vacation like 3 times now. What's ur problem? U think ppl care?

2011-10-21 13:23

2011-10-21 02:10

2011-10-21 03:35

2011-10-21 17:25

2011-10-21 05:28

i pretty pretty agree with your advice mby 3,4 is even better

2011-10-21 07:54

What about the schedule for the female CS tournament, can it be seen anywhere?

2011-10-21 07:12

We will be abble to change our team after a match? Cuz most of the times happens that the market get closed and u can't do any transaction.

2011-10-21 07:33

Again vs SK final =DDD

2011-10-21 07:40

Anything about the female tournament? Hope they'll have HLTVs for their matches too, right? As far as I know, the groupstage matches are supposed to start (and end) today and there's still no info about it :/

2011-10-21 07:55

they will start at 10-30 CET as i know

2011-10-21 09:22

2011-10-21 09:10

i really hope that the final will be played later on the evening...like 19.00 or something

2011-10-21 09:07

One of the worst schedule I've ever seen. n1 France... wait... Hopefully we'll know soon enough 1) which games of group A and B will be played on sunday 2) which teams will play the 1st semi-final. If they were smart it would be only those from group A and B since they've played their groupstage on saturday, but you can't assume anything about their brain when you see this kind of schedule.

2011-10-21 09:11

really hard schedule for dreamteam :>

2011-10-21 11:46

Grand finale should be later. C'mon, 3:00 PM? Even if it's 5:00 PM with delays, that's too early. Make it 7:00 PM: more eyeballs wich is good to advertisers revenues and fantastic to the general CS community (due to school or work).
