They won.

Give them ships.

Sigh.

It seems more META to take away a victory after the fact than to win with shared information.

IF they dq camlords.

I dont like a flat moving up the order (i.e pl 1, exodus 2, tusker 3.5, nulli 3.5). It isnt fair to the teams that had to go through the allegedly cheating teams first. Everyone lost to them, and if they got dqed the other half of the bracket (i.e the teams that didnt even face pl and only lost to hydra) then were kicked out unfairely. Pl then won by merit of having to face them last, while dodging other teams. That imo is not a fair way to win.

If they do dq camel and warlords the new top 4 should imo all be treated equal and no winner should be crowned, as there really was none bar camel/hydra. Otherwise pl would win by means of lucky seed and no one (bar pl ;) ) wants that.

Perhaps next year consider making the prizes some token golden/silver/bronze ship skins and let the teams fight over space honour instead of trillions in prize ships Roll

If anyone is surprised that eve players will do anything to win prizes worth this amount of isk they are incredibly naive. This includes CCP of course.

I think you are the naive one if you think people wouldn't compete with the same ferocity, be it for a unique ship, space honour, a medal, a title, a skin, a used Kleenex or just for fun and drama.

Maybe you've forgotten which game you are playing?

even though I was talking about a particular match, you are missing the fact that corruption on even higher level is investigated and will have people punished. Noone wants to watch rigged crap, its death sentence for any serious sports (in case of FIFA not so much because no actual match/tournament has been cheated)

yea, maybe they just remove all prizes and be done with it. Would be more fair for the rest of AT participants.

It is very sad that things have come to this.
CCP now need to do a detailed investigation.
Freezing the prizes is a good first step and does not assume either innocence or guilt.

What ever action they take if guilt is found needs to be fair and honourable no matter how hard it is to implement.

If they do that all those who are fair minded will give them our full support.

Good luck with a difficuilt task, rise to the occasion and take pride in your efforts.

The people who participate in the AT follow the rules set out by CCP because we want an esport of our own. CCP get out of this exposure, enjoyment (i hope) and a feeling of cooperation with the players.

Breaking those rules doesn't violate the EULA, but it sets out to endanger something awesome. Hydra set out to play the game with CCP we all play between ourselves, that of out metaing our opponents. CCP is not our opponent. That's a line we as participants in the tournament cannot cross if the tournament is to have any validity as an esport.

If CCP can find objective proof of this in action in one or more teams in the AT, then it invalidates not only the prizes given out to the cheaters, but it invalidates any match they played throughout the tournament. There are a lot of teams who might have placed highly if it wasn't for their cheating, and they need to be compensated in some way.

IF the allegations are true, the captains of the teams need to be punished heavily. A lot of the pilots in the teams had an idea of what was going on (i mean hell everyone else did) but they were not the ones who tried to cheat the system. This kind of behaviour will continue if you dont set a very firm example of these pilots.

Severely disagree on some points, you cant punish the average member, what are they to do? Stop doing stuff midmatch when they realize it was thrown? If they realize it sooner, break of with all friends and go away? Even if you suspect, go to your team captain and complain and he tells you nothing is happening and to shut up, what are you to do?


While i agree with punishing the captains, dqing them and taking the prizes. The average member really shouldnt get punished at all.

I agree. There are a lot of really good pilots in hydra teams. They deserve to get to keep playing. I know how PL works and a lot of the team doesnt know half of whats going on, and trust their captains when they tell them what to do. I would like to see the pilots find homes in new alliances, with captains who dont deliberately flaunt the rules.

Again, IF THE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE, seen as some people dont seem to get that bit. Something went on, but CCP has to be fair and know they broke rules before they start handing out punishments for a tournament whose verdict has already been reached.
