I think we can all agree that EVE is a great platform for organized tournaments. Every part of the Alliance Tournament from the teams' ship combinations and fittings straight down to the maneuvers and actions in the fight itself make for exciting and dramatic matches. There is a lot going on before and during every match and they're almost as much fun to watch as they are to participate in. I've watched a lot of 'e-sports' in my time (lol nerd), and in my experience, an EVE match is much more exciting than your average Counter-strike match on HLTV watching some dude camp a corner with his sniper rifle.
Unfortunately for us spectators, the only match broadcast with streaming video in the Alliance Tournament is the finals. For all the other matches, many of which are grudge matches between alliances with a rivalry, we have to be content with audio streams. While the commentators on eve radio do a great job, there is just too much going on to accurately describe in audio. The matches need video to really capture the action, there is just no way around it. I realize there will be some cost involved for CCP to do this, and I would not mind at all if they had to advertise during the matches through banners or even commercials to pay for the streaming, just show us the action!
If you'd watch alliance tournament matches over streaming video, support this topic. Let's show CCP there is an audience out there.

I certainly miss the live video broadcasts and discussions in between and would like to see them make a return |

While the idea has been tossed out several times, it once again gets my support.

I've been trying to keep up with the tournament but sometimes I just can't stand the announcer and it's really frustrating to not be able to see what's going on.

Streaming 1 day out of 6 is not enough! There's a lot of drama missed, and it's not exciting to watch the postgame videos after you already know who won.

I think, from CCP's perspective, advertising isn't going to cover their costs *which was calculated in the millions if the recent Eve-radio discussion on this was accurate* so perhaps the right question to ask is: How many players are willing to pay for it?

Do you know why they aren't?
Cost. Labour needed.
The only way it's happening is if people day some many dollars a day for watching it.

Support! Personally I missed the detail about them not being live broadcast.
*sigh* I really wanted to see that IAC vs AAA game live!

Much as I think it'd be kind of cool, there's a reason that they stopped doing this, and it was almost certainly money. I don't think they're going to reverse themselves on it just because we think it'd be cool - they probably think it'd be cool too, but they can't justify it.
If drama is your concern, wait for the YouTube(it only takes a few hours) and avoid the coverage until then.

Since it seemed that CCP allowed people to pay for FF tickets with Plex, maybe they could rig up an ingame way to redeem a plex for the ability to watch all 6 days of a tourney.
I would suspect that a plex for a tourney should cover their cost.
Not that I really care that much, the rule changes since the 4th tourney have made them boring and not worth my time since.
