EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

The moment came during the final weekend. For me and several of the Warlords pilots we knew something was wrong. This is the true story from a non leadership pilot of Warlords final weekend.


First some clearance. All things that I hated because they are underhanded but are / were absolutely legal.

-shared wormhole / pos / and joined new testing sisi corporation with camels.
- shared logistics and spies.
- shared set-ups
- shared AT uniques for matches between the teams during tournament. Or more specifically Camel used our AT ships for the most part.
- shared prizes. yep once Warlords and Camels took 1 and 2 we joined the prize pool of 80 ships and distributed prizes amongst both teams equally.





August 29th, Camel vs Warlords.

Match 1 - Legit fight. Except for some very wierd target calling. Was nothing like what had practiced. We should have won that fight. Also side note / this was the only match I didnt fly in because for the final weekend Kadesh SOS'd Garmon to come fly in case Haart couldnt be here. Instead he took my spot. Meh 4 months of practicing and working hard to be replaced by someone that had absolutely 0 input or help to the team prior to the final weekend...... I was a bit bitter. Garmon however manned up and realized that I was probably a better fit to fly the Battleships. Lets be honest Haart (Sgt Anti) missed 4 out of the 5 bump attempts he made and only side scraped a vulture once after it was already 30km away.

Match 2 - This is were the **** gets interesting. You'll notice that we lost this fight but that the 2nd fight of the finals was almost identical with a totally different outcome. After this loss I was irate! I was yelling on coms and questioning Leadership thinking something was off. Then I get a skype convo by Kadesh.

At this point I didnt know what to do. I was the bad guy. On a team breaking rules. I was and am torn. I wanted to quit. The only thing that kept me there were the guys that werent in leadership for both teams that were legitimately working their asses off to win. I couldnt quit on them. I hated kadesh so much at this point. I didnt really get along with him anyways before.



So we went on from there. Beating Tuskers. and then beating PL.


So now the finals. I dont know what to even think of it myself.

Match 1 - Nothing to me seemed off here. Our set-up was designed to destroy the logi fast, which it did. Then just won on outlasting the opponent.

Prizes were shared last year too. I don't know why you're surprized WildCat.

I'd have thought, old hand as you are that you'd have seen this coming. I'm not bitter about losing to a group fielding two teams at all.

The only part of EVE i've enjoyed for the last 4-5 years is the meta side of the game. Once you get passed a certain level, it becomes about the intel, the spies and the cards you don't play as much as the cards you do. The AT is no different, as much as CCP would like it to be.

I sympathize with you, i really do - but i'm slightly shocked that you didn't see this coming.

I think his post was about the fixing of matches (which is obviously against the rules) and the lying of the leadership to the teams. Seems that his honor is what made him post this...... maybe im wrong, i mean who has honor anymore

Big props to you guys for doing the smart thing and cooperating to win. I would expect no less from Eve Online.

the only surprise here is that someone admitted it

props to DHB assuming its a not a giant troll

Super surprising!

I have removed the offending material.

No worries everyone. We screenscapped it before edits. I will tweet the picture from @EVEAryth.
