Dutch League champion GasTerra Flames faces a special opportunity to reach the 2010-11 Euroleague through the qualifying rounds. Far from being a new team, GSVV Donar was founded in 1970 and soon became a well-known team in the Netherlands. After reaching three consecutive semifinals between 1978 and 1980 under the name of Nationale Nederlanden-Donar, the team clinched its first Dutch League title in 1982, beating Nashua Ben Bosch 3-1. However when Nationale Nederlanden ceased to be the main sponsor, the team disappeared after one more season, though not before beating mighty Maccabi Tel Aviv in Groningen in the preliminary round of the 1983 Euroleague. Donar came back for the 1986-87 season and managed to make it to the Dutch League semifinals that year. Five more semifinals appearances would follow between 1989 and 1997 and the team returned to the Dutch League finals in the 1997-98 season. Though it finished one game short of the title, losing 4-3 to Den Helder in a best-of-seven series, the club was on the rise again. MPC soon became its main sponsor and the club's playoff jinx ended in 2004 when it lifted the Dutch League trophy. That allowed MPC to make its ULEB Cup debut in 2004-05, when it finished fifth in its regular season group with a 3-7 record. The team also won the Dutch Cup title that year. The Capitals returned to the Dutch League finals in 2006, but EiffelTowers stood in its way to success. In 2007-08 the team returned to the ULEB Cup, registering quality wins against Spirou Basket and Hemofarm Stada. Then as the GasTerra Flames, it bounced back from a sub par 2008-09 season by becoming a dominant force in the Netherlands. A 33-3 regular season record allowed GasTerra to enter the playoffs as the clear favorite. Then, thanks to its home court advantage, the Flames went on to lift the Dutch League trophy. With a wild fan base, a rich basketball tradition and nothing to lose, GasTerra Flames steps forward for one of the biggest challenges in club history.
