The main problem is with the auction and random draw imo.
With no reserved slots, any team that wants to be guaranteed in the tournament will have to buy a slot in the auctions. This year all the top teams will be bidding so if there are limited auctions slots, no matter the isk cost, some good alliances who take the tournament seriously are going to have to rely on the random draw.
And because the random draw is well.... random, there will be the case again of good, entertaining teams not getting in, whilst terrible, unprepared teams that may or may not even bother to turn up for their matches get a spot. Much like what happened last year.
I hope whoever is organising the tournament realises this and makes sure there are enough slots up for auction so that all the serious teams can get a guaranteed place.

So if Darkside doesn't make it in the draw we can only really blame ourselves? We're not a sov-holding alliance with billions of moon ISK, and we didn't get 50 frigs/cruisers worth tens of billions each. We can't afford the auction.
We are in a similar situation, we live in NPC sov 0.0, pvp all the time but are not in any way wealthy.
I really hope CCP doesn't think that "big team" just means team from big sov holding alliance, because in the history of the tournament, the teams from the sov holding alliances have consistently been the worst. |
