EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Weekend two of the Syndicate Competitive League starts Saturday, April 6th at 1700 GMT with a second day of matches Sunday, April 7th at 1700 GMT on the SCL Twitch.tv channel. We are back with a full bracket of eight exciting teams, an improved format and even more content. The SCL staff is excited to bring you a thrilling weekend of Eve Online PvP and wants you to join us as we bring you a unique entertainment experience only internet spaceships can provide.

Teams:
This weekend's team line-up is spectacular. Not only do we have several returning teams, but we also have a round of teams new to the Syndicate Competitive League. Make no mistake. Just because these teams are new to the SCL, it doesn't mean they are strangers to the Eve Online tournament scene. This weekend's contenders are:

• Reputation Cartel - Bob Shaftoes
• Insurance Fraud - Fafer
• TEST Alliance Please Ignore - Dukrat
• My little Nulli - Cas Mania
• Guiding Hand Social Club - Tyrrax Thorrk
• Pandemic Legion - Gobbins
• Perihelion - IceGuerilla
• Last Huzzah - Ryans Revenge

Format Changes
We made several updates to the Syndicate Competitive League format to enhance the tournament. The second day of matches ran longer than we liked and it caused many of our viewers to miss out on the live action. The length of the second day was also difficult on our production staff including the gracious and talented CCP Fozzie who volunteered his time to assist with the event. To compensate we've switched from double elimination to single elimination. To compensate for the difference in number of matches, we've changed the final matches to best of five. We've also increased the team roster from 8 to 16 to enable teams to field A and B teams for practices.

Content
The SCL staff had a great time hanging out with our viewers between the matches in the in-game and Twitch.tv channels, but it's not really the content we think you should have. You deserve better and we want you to get most out of your time viewing the Syndicate Competitive League. In addition to the match commentary, the SCL is bringing you studio commentary. Between matches our studio host will bring you interviews with CCP developers, community leaders, team captains and contests.

This weekend we have a full slate of CCP developers to come and talk about everything from the DUST514 connection and Odyssey to the CSM 8 elections and Fanfest. Threads will be posted in the Eve Alliance Tournament Discussion thread so you can have your questions answered by the devs on air. You will not want to miss this weekend as we pull out all the stops to bring you a weekend full of Eve Online entertainment.

The second weekend of the Syndicate Competitive League will be bigger and better. We look forward to you joining us for another fantastic weekend of PvP.

Should be a fantastic event this weekend, can't wait!

Can't wait!

Been looking forward to this for a while. We have some new voices to add to the roster this time as well as those of us returning, and hopefully this time is even better than last time around!

Oh yeah!

0 risk pvp arenas. sneaky sneaky. wasn't even on the feature list /sarcasm

Heh... heh... heeeeh.

Yet another great show. Thanks again to all the organizers / sponsors / competitors.

Really glad everyone enjoyed the tournament today!

Can't wait for tomorrow, especially the grudge match between Insurance Fraud and Reputation Cartel

Why are all the matches starting late?

It's one thing for people who know what's supposed to be happening but for anyone coming to this from fresh they will have switched off before the match starts.
