In years past, the top four teams from the previous year's tournament are automatically in, and in some years, they bypass the qualifiers. Is any of that happening this year?


No, this year we are having 32 teams in a random draw and 32 teams from auction.

Questions:

1) How many spots will be auctioned in each auction?
2) Does the auction bidder need to have the PLEX they want to bid already reverse redeemed?

Thursday, May 24th @ 19:00 UTC - 8 slots
Friday, May 25th @ 17:00 UTC - 8 slots
Saturday, May 26th @ 16:00 UTC -16 slots

Auction plex will be paid using contracts, you'll need to be ready to pay immediately.

Will get this clarified on the tournament site soon.

Yes you can contact us at evetv@ccpgames.com if anyone would like to discuss an alliance entry ahead of time.


We sent an inquiry to this e-mail and haven't received a response for over a week now. Has anyone else received a response?

Sorry we've had a few of these and I should have gotten back to you but we're going to investigate these issues after sign ups and then take action.

1) The 10 plex for the random draw. Is that payable only if you are selected in the random draw, or is that to purchase an entry into the random draw itself?

Remember, it isn't a SKIM-atar.

CCP Sreegs is my favorite developer.

it is to purchase an entry into the random draw. The CEO of your executor corporation will need to have 10 PLEX in the redeeming system to qualify for the random draw. If you are not successful in the draw, you can use these 10 PLEX for the auction slots. If you are still not successful, the PLEX will be contracted back to the CEO of the executor corporation.

How about this.. Plex is not actually easier for us, the players to work with.

How about we give you isk (very easy to work with and transfer) and then you can go ahead and buy plex to take off the market once you actually have the isk in your hands.

You make an interesting counter offer. Unfortunately this is how the tournament will run this year. If you wish to be included in the random draw you will be unable to do so unless there are 10 PLEX in the redeeming system.

Lazarus Telraven is an excellent choice. Laz is a great dude, very even keeled, and a great counterweight to the craziness of other panelists.

It's true, he weighs as much as the other four combined.

Good luck to you Sir Lazarus of House Telraven.

Grats, you made the entry cost a barrier of entry.
I hope that's what you wanted.

It's a shame that for yet another year we'll have a commentator who has taken such long extended breaks from the game (and can't tell the difference between pulse and beam harbingers). Kil2 must have made some really good friends in Reykjavik.

More fresh faces in general would be nice, honestly.
