A tournament of proportions never seen before will take place during Fanfest 2015: a best-of-five series between the best of the best from Tranquility and the Chinese Serenity server!

Why does it matter to you? Because not only will you see incredible matches, but also because every active player of the winning server will receive the brand new and unique Victorieux Luxury Yacht! So, cheer for your team representing Tranquility, the Alliance tournament champions from Camel Empire, and watch the live stream as worlds collide during Fanfest on March 20th.

Read more about this incredible tournament in CCP Gargant's latest blog Fanfest 2015 - Worlds Collide!

It will be exciting to bring a live production of EVE Online PvP on to the stage at Harpa, and the stakes are high. I promise not to call the set up the Hypeperion, but I am pretty enthusiastic about this!

Exciting. The T2 drone ban is an odd one, though.

Why only T1 drones? Seems unnecessary and extremely limiting.

Also, EAFs same point cost as Tactical Destroyers? Thinking maybe EAFs should be 5 points.

TQ is going to have huge advantage since we have had the awesome new toys for much longer than Serenity.

Awesome! :D

Also, uh-- weird. Only T1 drones? That's one hell of a drone meta nerf right there. :x

As usual, we customize the rules of every tournament to match the specific requirements of the format. The rules you write for 5v5 are different than the rules you write for 12v12.
As well, because we're only dealing with two teams and because we can assume those teams have a high degree of skill, we are able to try out some new constraints on theorycrafting that would probably break most AT teams.

I can't wait to see what the teams come up with!

THERE!

I knew that time dilation didn't work only in one direction (dilation, namely), but also in the other: time compression!

TICO is here to stay! I for one welcome my new 200% time overlords!

We've even used this reverse TIDI in some Alliance Tournament matches in the past, so you can see it in action in the replays.

It'll be on SISI when our March release begins testing.

P.S. the stats are pretty awesome. No pressure Camel.

Ok, I get it, giving one-of-a-kind ships increases the stakes, but I think it's a waste every time CCP releases a unique hull without a way for capsuleers to reverse-engineer it and make our own. It's a total waste of assets.
