EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

Perhaps Triage should be banned, it's an insanely cheap force multiplier and makes **** really unfun. Like I'd rather see 12x Thorax Rush than 2 Archons 2 Moros 3 Bhaal, 5 Vindi

YES YES.....AND YES

Edit

Still waiting on more info/possible sign ups!!!

I'd suggest a charity FFA, each player donates a PLEX to CCP to donate to a local charity. Throw a couple of devs in cockroaches and it'll be a blast!!!

Quoting this as I feel it should be a thing

It will be held on TQ just like the rest of the AT. You sign up, we teleport you to jove space in ~whatever~, and then you fight it out.

Agree on no triage.. It will be boring for spectators.

And I ****** like this whole idea !

Here's my idea for this:

Instead of having every match have identical ruleset (bring anything and everything), why not have set ship size guidelines that ramp up over the entire tournament? Instead of just playing these showmatches in the time between the Bo5 finals, spread them between the two studio weekends during as a start to the intermission (a halftime show if you will), culminating in the final day showmatches where everything is allowed.

Basically, the way it is now I dont think we will see anything particularly interesting or entertaining like 12v12 noobships or 12v12 t1 cruisers because everyone will just bring out their big guns. Adding in more matches with more specific rule guidelines both gives interested groups with smaller budgets an opportunity to compete without getting totally wrecked, as well introduces more parity so the matches are more entertaining for both the players and viewers.

I think it is perfectly feasible to have 2+ showmatches per day, even if you just do one at the start of the intermission and after the end of the scheduled broadcast, without having too big of a drain on the EVEtv resources. Just get a couple of the backup casters/community devs to cast these so the main ones can have a break.

Something like this perhaps:

July 27 [Frigate Frenzy]: Match1 - Noobships Only /// Match2 - Frigates and below only
July 28 [Cruiser Calamity]: Match1 - T1 cruisers and below only /// Match2 - All Cruisers and below

August 3 [Battle Royale]: Match 1 - Battlecruisers and below /// Match2 - Battleships and below
August 4 [Capital Cataclysm]: All Matches - Whatever you want (If 3 matches are able to go, maybe do first one without supercapitals)

If even more matches than this are able to go through, you have fun options like Industrials only (with TiDi) or mono-race throwback matches like 12v12 in Thoraxes or Rifters. The possibilities really are endless for this thing and it seems really really fun.

This is the kind of thing that would be great if we could fit matches into earlier days, but since we're compressing the tournament into 3 weekends we won't have any time to spare until the final day.

At most we'll be looking for 2-3 matches, all on the last Sunday.

Why is there only 1 like button ? I'd need a thousand.
Can't wait to see that happening.

@CCP Fozzie

Can you confirm if I can be in a match even of I am not part of an alliance? I Really want to see a Revenant
