Thats kinda how it feels isnt it?

If the denfending champions cant come you might as well just take it out entirely, isnt that the ones you want to beat?

Do you reckon they can still give Hydra the caldari ship BPCs and the winners will just get some medals?

No I mean 3rd, because they are still 2 teams. I'd have liked for someone to prove that hydra wouldn't win rather than hear it on the forums.

You mean 4th place, right?

Because if CCP couldn't justify these bans with everyone's "butt-hurt" over last years final, they would be unable to justify banning YOUR VOTES DON'T COUNT also.

Let all 3 teams back in, make your policy official and in effect right after AT X ends, and make sure your "Senior" GMs understand the very rules they are to enforce.


It's not to late to douse the flames CCP.

A goon in its natural habitat, failing both maths and english in a single line. Unless you really think the AT Cerbs will be worth 40bn?

They obviously cheated, so I'm not sure there's many who'd consider them genuine, kosher type champions. I'd consider the alliance who finished in the highest position without cheating to be the best pvpers and the ones to beat. But that's just me ;)

So when Outbreak beat DS in the semifinals they were "cheating"?

When HYDRA beat PL in the group stages they were "cheating"?

Cheating? Id understand this if hydra pilots were logging in the outbreak peoples accounts and fought or the other way around, but other then that? Seriously? Id like to think that if they were "cheating" they would have been removed. I see two teams that trained together really hard and ****** up the rest. Doesnt really matter to me who of Outbreak and Hydra won, but they won fair and square according to the rules, in fact I dont see hydra as the winner I see hydra and outbreak as the winners.

It's kinda hard to know isn't it? All we can be sure of is that you competed dishonestly, the extent is unknown. Is not a very tenable to position to obviously throw a match then turn up here asking us to have faith in your honest conduct in rest of that competition (IX).

You know what though. I should probably avoid the word cheat as that's debateable based on symantics. Probably the better phrase is 'did not win on pure pvp skill, did not keep to the spirit of the competition and kinda screwed the whole thing up for eveyone'......or something like that.
