The reason for the gap in shooting things is kinda my fault. Spent too much time smartbombing their drones and ran of out cap trying to mwd after the vindi :-/

I see really no difference between buying the points and throwing a match. Test did it most of you are hypocrits to take it on fearless and not on test who bearly crawled in the to the grups stage. So you guys are babling for nothing CCP should have intervened from the start not let it as a precedent.

I'm disappointed you didn't enjoy the match DHB Wildcat, but you do seem to be disproportionately mad about the whole thing.

Snake burning out his guns cost us the match. deal with that and move on mate. :)

If a Vindicator is no longer a Windicator, do you call it a Losedicator or a Burndicator in this case?

Vindicators are still very much Windicators.

Its just the level of win is inversely proportional to the pilots failure. Part of our AT calculations were based upon distilling that Faliure Critical Mass down via a series of maddeningly complex equations, weaving ever decreasing circles of badness, to one pilot.

A man who could be called upon with the certain knowledge that faliure would ensure. He ctrl spaced in the first match and died. he burned his guns in the second and we all died.

The man, the myth, Snake O'verheater.

I think you should scrounge up some pennies together and buy Amantus a bike so he doesn't have to use the London Underground.

After watching this match on you tube I was concerned that the commentators suggested that match fixing at this stage of the tournament is ok?

This match was by far a more conclusive case of colluding then the indicators used against us pre-tournament.

Would the ATX team care to comment?

>implying we'd be competent enough to actually fix a match. If you and hydra couldn't manage it there is no way we could.

Fact of the matter is, the vindicator's guns burned out. It'll be there in the logs plain as day.

A surprise result, sure, but fearless are ******* horrible at spaceships anyway. And it is frankly insulting to the talented spacewarriors of Nulli Secunda to suggest that the match was thrown.

I suggest you to stop this.

For Scorps this is just one of the cases the first one was with test and it was tolerated, and ofc if everyone saw that happening they would apply to it. So giving fearless as an example not quite accurate as it seems.

My question would be put this way: Why the referee accepted TEST buying their way through in a competition where skills and tactics has the only saying ?

The should have been banned like OB and Hydra was.

NOTE: Rules apply the same regardless of the team.

Because Metagaming is a skill like any other.


The issue is when metagame is used to harrass the viewers rather than to advance your own cause.

CCP said that match fixing was fine to a degree, but building it up and manipulating the entire tournament just to ruin it would not be tolerated.


tl;dr Match fixing is fine, tournament fixing is not.

And what did Ob and Hydra did ? They fixed the match. A match. One match. Care to explain me how 2 teams of 64 could have manipulated the tournament? Please do care to explain i am intrigued by your logic.
