Whilst on my holiday to the wonderful island of Rhodes I read about what had happened in the alliance tournament match between Red Vs Blue (RVB) and CODE. Personally I felt disgusted about what I read, who in their right mind forfeits a fight which has the chance to be a 'fair' fight, let alone it being a fight in such a prestigious tournament such as the 'Alliance Tournament'.
I had read that the alliance known as 'CODE.' had decided to forfeit their match against 'RVB' for a lump sum of 200 Billion Isk, give or take a bit. If CODE. had shown up to the fight and won they would have gone ahead to the next round of the tournament. Potentially CODE. could have won every match after this and won tournament, winning would mean the biggest share of the special edition prize ships. The rarity of these ships means potentially their value is greater than the 200 Billion Isk they forfeited for.
To me this seems a stupid action to take as not many alliances manage to get into the alliance tournament, one reason being there are a limited amount of slots open for the hundreds of alliances in the game. I'm sure there are man alliance leaders out there feeling outraged over not being able to get into the alliance tournament when an alliance such as CODE. can get in to give fights away.
To counteract this from happening in future tournaments I propose a change CCP could make to future tournaments; introduce a rule where that if a team forfeits there is a list of alliances that can be brought in as 'reserves' who then take part in the tournament instead of the original alliance which forfeited. Although this seems unfair to some, it actual showcases talent which might of been seen otherwise.
Please comment below with your thoughts on the subject.

There is no 200b. It was an invention of CODE to mask their cowardice. Even if rvb had 200b (which we dont) we would not have wasted it on what most observers would agree was shaping to be one of the easiest matches of the day. |

If this is true then it is a very elaborate publicity stunt on their behalf, maybe my change should be implemented so that people are unable to create publicity stunts like this in the future. |

I believe we could think of something better to spend that ISK on then a group of gankers with less skill the your average brain dead nullsec F1 monkeys.
But then again, we did show up in something other then Barges and Freighters. So, I can understand a half assed cover story. Would've been more believeable if it was 50 Billion and a religious text as a cover story.
Now, I'm REALLY curious. Why didn't they take the supposed bribe, fought the match and release a API key as proof?
....oh wait, too complicated! Nevermind. EVE needs more Pssshhhh |

I guess that barges are not allowed (haven't checked TBH) but that would have been an epic match - a Procurer/Skiff, drone comp saying "go on, I dare you". Even more awesome if Cats had been left unbanned |
