ANNOUNCING #EVE_NT COLLIDES

#EVE_NT Collides is collaboration between various EVE tournament enthusiasts headed up by project leader; Bei ArtJay. Our goal is to create entertaining eve-online exhibition PvP matches using the Worlds Collide format developed by CCP for Fanfest 2015. Our first official installment will be on the 3rd of May at 19:00 eve-time please check out the stream here http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/.

On the first Sunday of every month EVE Online tournament teams will be invited to take each other on to retain the title of #EVE_NT Collides champion, for nothing other than space honour and bragging rights. Our goal is to create an enjoyable viewing experience with expert commentary, post-match analysis, VIP guests, and fancy graphics.

Co- owner of the tournament is Nashh Kadavr from #EVE_NT, now the biggest and most popular UK based EVE-meetup held in Nottingham UK, who is giving us some tickets to give away and heading up the marketing and promotion.

We also happy to announce EVE Bet as our sponsor who will be literally throwing ISK at us to give away to our viewers; no less than 5 billion ISK will go to viewers! EVE Bet will also be taking bets so definitely check out their website here; www.eve-bet.com. Additionally we are super stoked to have Twitch and CCP as official sponsors who are giving us some branded goodies to give away to viewers on the stream!

We started this project with The Tuskers vs. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork, two established tournament teams who fought it out in style, The Tuskers won the best of 5 series 3-1 and are the first holders of the title. The Tuskers made a big splash as newcomers in last year’s Alliance Tournament and managed to get all the way to 4th place, knocking out big names such as The Ronin and Exodus. Their focus on solo PvP means they have lots of talented pilots, and their team Captain Suleiman Shouaa pulled them all together into a force to be reckoned with.

Challenging the The Tuskers to the title of #EVE_NT Collides Champion in this instalment will be Hard Knocks Inc. HK is a corp that has both individual pilot experience plus experience flying under the banner of other alliances in tournaments, but is now is its own entity and determined to make a name for itself. Hard Knocks base out of wormhole space and are renowned for hitting hard and fast, raiding any sector of New Eden and w-space. They have recently become particularly notorious for hunting and slaying numerous nullsec super capitals.

The only change to the Worlds Collide rules that Bei has decided on is the switch to Bob Shaftoes points structure proposal for Alliance Tournaments. You can read more about the proposal and specific ships points costs that the teams have to play with here http://crossingzebras.com/alliance-tournament-xiii-the-rules/.

Due to the Brain in a Box deployment on SISI causing instability we have decided to move this back to the 17th of May. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

I am looking for a couple of reserve teams who might be able to step in at last minute notice - if you are an established tournament team who are interested drop me a mail.

The re-scheduled show this weekend will be Tuskers vs TEST \o/

See below for a little competition we are running.

"The Tuskers and Test Alliance Please Ignore have submitted their setups for this weekend's match-up. The teams have until mid-night tomorrow (15/5/15) to submit their bans. Competition is open until then and anyone who can correctly predict the four banned setups (each team gets two) will be entered into a draw to win 500mil EVE Bet credit. E-mail your entry to event.collides@gmail.com with the subject heading 'TvT Bans'. The winner will be announced on the show which is on Sunday at 19:00 UTC.

You can find the submitted setups at our website here: http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/team-profiles/ "

Good stuff. Watched earlier and enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.

Posting to confirm that SniggWaffe/Waffles will be taking on The Tuskers on the 7th of June @ 19:00 EVE time!

Looking forward to it!

WOW what a series!!

It went to SIX matches - one being a draw which i really didn't think would happen, a couple of the matches were knife edge in terms of who would be victorious.

Thanks again to the fantastic teams & staff (including CCP Logibro without whom this would be impossible) on the show and the 635+ viewers who tuned in.

For the next one we will be accepting player made adverts so if you want to advertise your corp, alliance, service 3rd party website get in touch with me.

Feedback on the show in general is always great, drop me a mail, additionally if you think you are a good enough team to take on The Tuskers or want to get involved in any way get in touch!

p.s. website is here http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/

If you are an AT team that unfortunately did not make it into AT and are interested in taking part in #EVE_NT Collides on the 12th (moving the date due to half our staff being likely hungover on the 5th from the Glasgow meet-up the night before) get in touch with me ASAP (stressing the ASAP part).

It sucks that we don't get to see some great AT names this year, and i'd love to give you the opportunity to put on show your PVP skills for the citizens of eve online.

In particular im interested in contacting the following teams who did not manage to get in through the bidding system -

Cynosural Field Theory.
EON Alliance
Fidelas Constans
Galaxy Spiritus
Honorable Third Party
LowSechnaya Sholupen
Red Alliance
Red vs Blue
Sleeper Social Club
Solar Fleet
The Initiative.
Unseen Wolves

Please spread this message to team captains of these teams! Thanks.

Friendly bump

Can recommend participating in this format, lots of fun to theorycraft and fly

Hi All,

Just wanted to bring your attention to the third instalment of #EVE_NT Collides this Sunday which will be streamed on our website and our twitch page from 19:00 Eve-time (UTC).

I invited teams to take part that didn't get into AT through the bidding process (hopefully a tiny compensation for not being able to take part in AT) and our match-up will be Sleeper Social Club vs Cynosural Field Theory.

I hope some of you tune in and enjoy the show. As previous we have the excellent Bob Shaftoes, Chessur, Apothne, Sutonia and Gorski Car commentating and doing analysis, and you can tune in to win a bunch of ship skins and evebet credit!

You can find details of the set-ups the teams have submitted here - http://www.eve-nt-collides.uk/team-profiles/

Thanks!
