The two alliances comprising Red Vs. Blue are considered a single entity and therefore field one team made up of members from both Red and Blue. The same principles apply for The Initiative. and Initiative Mercenaries; and The Gorgon Empire and The Gorgon Spawn.



What about B0T, can I use a B0T pilot (It is mine, just being used to help with stuff) as PL/B0T are a single entity?

If you like, you can use my alliance introductions at your website. Here they are.

A Nest of Vipers ... Number 15 bad WH group who specializes in losing capitals...
Affirmative. ... Is this a carebearing tournament? In that case these guys are a sure bet.
Agony Empire … Welcome again to the last day of tourny, but sorry, no.
Almost Awesome. … Since when has barrel shooting Goons certified you to AT?
C0VEN … Wow, the return of the worst Polish alliance of the game, and that says a lot.
CAStabouts … The group who didn’t learn from their previous mistake of signing up
Choke Point … Well, I guess they’re in it for the experience.
Circle-Of-Two … I expect a circle of wrecks again. As Chango can’t driveby DD here.
Clockwork Pineapple … Beating choke point last time doesn’t say much.
CODE. … Ahhhhahahaha ahhhahahaha! Look, there are no miners or freighters in AT.
Curatores Veritatis Alliance … We all wonder if you can make it to the arena past N3?
Cynosural Field Theory. … I doubt that -NOC- will be able to have 10 guys on simultaneously.
Dead Terrorists … A blast from the past. Unfortunately the blasts come from your breaking hulls.
Disavowed. … From wh to cool guys’ club? Not gonna happen, guys.
Easily Excited … If every one of their corps had one good player, they could make it. Alas, no.
End of Life … Aww, it’s so cute when babby has her first AT
Exodus. … This is the first corp on the list to make it past the quarterfinals. But no win.
Feign Disorder … I wonder when they'll stop feigning scrublordship
Fidelas Constans … Practicing against rupture fleets just won’t do it. Sorry.
HUN Reloaded … Good luck to quarterfinals.
HYDRA RELOADED … Well, if an alliance exists only for one purpose… I guess that’s a win.
Ineluctable. … The alliance with the all-scrubs corp list. Good luck.
LowSechnaya Sholupen … Oh if the rus block just stopped fighting and joined forces… No.
M.I.F … Well, probably making it all the way to the second weekend…
Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork … ...Probably not.
Moist. … Two shots and you’re out. Punks.
Monkeys with Guns. … Where does FW prepare you for? Not real pvp, that’s for sure.
Mortuus. … The rus block should get a consolation prize for tryhard.
No Holes Barred … The second weekend is barred, better luck next time.
Noir. Mercenary Group … “There’s no conflict of interest in being a winner and loser” - Alexeyev
Nulli Secunda … Second to most. Why do these guys even sign up?
Outbreak. … With a lot of luck, they’ll break out to the second weekend.
Pandemic Legion … Well, they’ll win if they can get any 10 guys to log on.
Pasta Syndicate … A dark horse … if they take it seriously, they’ll be at semifinals. That’s big IF.
Quebec United Legions … Well, isn’t Quebec on the surrender side of Canada?
R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N … Easily second weekend material but rusrus is spread too thin.
RAZOR Alliance … If you combine all fail from all alliances, RAZOR still has more fail.
Red Alliance … Hm, with no sov anymore it’s more time for AT practice… but no.
Rote Kapelle … Experience only takes you so far if there’s no talent.
RvB - BLUE Republic + RvB - RED Federation … Well, it IS a sort of arranged fight… But no.
SCUM. … Probably going to pull of a few good stunts and then lose to some nubs like CVA.
Shadow Cartel … Was this like before these guys broke up? Now not gonna happen.
Sleeper Social Club … You know, unlike those red crosses, the white boxes shoot back.
SOLAR FLEET … With years of unfaltering number of guys, they’re crumbling now. Nope.
Tactical Narcotics Team … If they remember their account passwords, they’ll show up for a while.
Test Alliance Please Ignore … Against whom you can ignore reps or tactics or brain.
The Afterlife. … Great in the rusrus league, nobody in the grownup series.
The Camel Empire … Even with 10 dalikahs it’s not gonna happen past the first weekend.
The Devil's Warrior Alliance … And exactly how does highsec ganking prepare for AT?
The Fourth District … Well if lottery gives you RAZOR and CODE., you can make it to round 2.
The G0dfathers … If you don’t get unlucky this year, see you in quarterfinals.
The Gorgon Empire + The Gorgon Spawn … Double gorgon, zero success.
The Initiative. + Initiative Mercenaries … Double the tryhard, double the fail.
The Kadeshi … Das kadeshi tries to call in the blob but noticing tenerifis is too far. The end.
The Methodical Alliance … Expecting a nice and tolerant flurry of sore loser excuses.
The Nameless Alliance … If C0ven is the worst polish alliance, who are these? Exactly. Nobodies.
THE R0NIN … Another eastern bro bites the space dust.
The Tuskers Co. … And the story of how hubris can sustain a dead alliance for years.
The Unthinkables … A living example of how sov makes you fat and slow.
Triumvirate. … The TRI mk XIII: All stars but no teamwork. Get it working and make it to finals.
Ushra'Khan … The best team in roleplaying a sore loser.
WAFFLES. … The winner of alliance advertisement series, the loser of first weekend.

The Alliances that are considered a single entity requested to enjoy the same benefits as Red Vs. Blue have for the last Alliance Tournaments, and after extensive investigation the alliances in these "single entity" alliances are provably run by the same person.

I'd assume that given that PL's team didn't request to use renters on their team in advance like init and gorgon did with their training corps would mean no, given that the teams are now announced.

Not to mention;

Half of null sec is effectively run by one person, can that entity also form a combined team? This rule twisting for convenience is ridiculous.

Silly CODE, don't you know mining barges and freighters aren't allowed to compete? Lol

Anyway, an interesting lineup with a lot of groups I've never seen before - maybe a few names will be made this tournament that will shake things up a bit. *\o/*

OT: CCP please allow non-combat lol ships to participate next tournament, Tyrrax and some of the other nonstandard pilots were some of the most hilarious and entertaining parts of previous tournaments. But not freighters, hell no to freighters.

After a pretty wild night I found, in James 315's exhaust pipe, a crumbled paper that had CODE.'s battle plan. They are going to bump the opposing team out of the arena. This year PL will be harder than in the previous years, because Elise Randolph is not in.

HAHAHAHAHA!! I love it! That's SO much better than the alliance description I wrote! I'm so stealing this for us!

Brilliant alliance introductions, burst out laughing countless times! Good stuff!

OT: Congrats and good luck to all the teams, especially my team, it's going to be a struggle for us to shoot something other than red crosses and roids, I guess, but we'll figure it out! What is this "scram" thing people keep talking about, btw?

EDIT: Any idea when the schedule/match-ups will be posted? Also, any chance you could do a random drawing of the first round's match-ups and stream it? That would be much fun to watch!

We're cool now? Also, you're probably right. We can't bling out all of ships with x-types. whatever will we do?

CODE. has one of the best FCs in EVE, IMHO. Our SP may reduce our versatility, however.

I'm just worried someone will ban Catalysts and the Talos.

I also need to drop this silly reverse AWOX corp and join the alliance sometime. I may be our only Logistics 5 pilot.

I support the New Order and CODE. alliance. www.minerbumping.com

You may need to go out more, son. Even in the world of suicide ganking there are better FC:s; just take Warr and Powers for example. And PvP kind of means that your enemies may fight back. You really should stick to miner bumping IMO. Your really good at that.

Excuses start before the tournament has begun? That's a new record.

I think that you should be more worried that your opponents don't show up in hulks and charons, and that someone will shoot back (a new experience for you guys!). (Are you planning to ban all the ship but mining barges?)

A joke about being beaten by nuet drones probably would have been more apt. Or beating up some lowsec bronies.
