Minmatar Agony Unleashed Agony Empire

Edited by: DaDutchDude on 07/06/2010 17:03:24 I wasn't home to watch the match live, but I seriously lolled when I heard what had happened. Well played Hydra, well played. Probably the most ironic thing is that Agony will meet a highly ranked opponent in the second round, while Hydra gets a much lower ranked one.
Originally by: Shotty1135 Now I'm not sure what really happened, but if you truly were getting metagamed by Hydra why didn't you order your Proteus to fly out of arena once you realized what was happening. You easily could have tossed the match before Hydra was able to. So quit it with the pity, you'll get none here. You controlled your fate and decided to take the cheap win, now you're realizing it probably wasn't the best decision. Deal with it
The only thing that is somewhat regrettable for Agony is the fact that some people will believe we actually payed Hydra, but we're confident that people who actually know Agony and Hydra won't believe that. Also, I don't think anybody in Agony would seriously consider throwing a match because our opponent is throwing it; something to do with a gift, a horse and its mouth. No, we don't need pity, so if that is what you thought Baka was after, you were mistaken. And I personally find the people overreacting to this quite funny.
The only thing we might be embarrassed about in this whole deal is our actual performance in the match, because we got stomped pretty badly. _____________________________________

Not content with trolling the forums, Hydra Reloaded have moved on to trolling Alliance Tournaments
Well played, Hydra. Convincing performance and good tactics points wise.
To all others, you're not even competing, so STFU. If you don't like it, don't watch. Or, here's a better idea, how about taking part yourselves and making stuff like this doesn't happen in your 'honourable' tournament? Guess not. I't easier to complain and whine and cry than it is to HTFU and do something about it. (Overreaction win ITT)

Originally by: Othran Superbly played really. That one will stay in peoples' memories for a long time.
Can't fault Hydra - took Agony apart, played the metagame wonderfully and are now (rightly) the talk of the tournament.
Well played guys, really very well played
And to think, it took PL's winning bomber set up to do it... How original
Gobbies had a hardon for bombers before they could warp cloaked and used to run gangs with them regularly way back.
I don't know for sure because I didn't have alot to do with him during his time in PL but I'd put ISK on the fact he came up with the idea of the Bomber setup.
I cant remember who first started conceptualizing using bombers as the primary ship. We might even have stolen it.
Gobbins did come up with the final setup though.
Even though it was not the same setup as used nowadays, I thought Hun Reloaded used an all bomber with 2 logi ships to win back in AT4. I remember how amazed I was with their 2 logi pilots to keep all those bombers alive.
To the thread I don't know why so many ppl are suprised ... matches have been thrown in the past, just a slightly different version was used this time. This is all in the spirit of EVE. I have watched all the previous alliance tournys and no suprises that something like this happened and not disappointed either.

Originally by: Kewso this so called tournament is just a joke anyhow. every year it gets worse and now is just a moronic farce.
its bad when ccp gets in on the metagaming also, but hell you'd think we'd be used to it how much ccp gets involved.
this isn't a real tournament though
I do not agree. If CCP disqualified these guys that could be called involvement. What I see here is lol'ing together with the rest of community who see it funny. :) The more I read this thread the more funny I see it. :D

Truth to be told after reading this, if i am correct and people say Hydra will meet a much lower ranked opponent compared ot Agony. It is in my belief during the matchday that Hydra will think them as easy prey, don't play att full capacity and get stomped themselves. Underestimating an opponent comes before the fall.
Also i'm rooting for Agony which seems to be good sports about this and staying fairly calm. Good luck in the next match both of you nonetheless.

Edited by: Odin''Asgard on 07/06/2010 22:08:00 I think what Hydra did was smart, Agony was dumb as hell. Hydra just showed all of us that Agony has no honor and will sell out at the smallest opportunity at getting an other shot to the tournament. If they make it, they are going to have to face Hydra at some point again, in which they will lose just as bad. So what do we have at the end, people know that hydra won the first match, they will win the second match too if they get to fight again. Agony ends up losing 2 full sets of tournament teams plus 3 billion isk and lots of respect for trying to do their talking with isk instead of their guns. Even if they win the tournament(a major if), everybody will say thay they bought it out with cash so what good is it?
Agony should have said F-off to Hydra and charge with their last ship dying guns blazing. They would have get kudo's from everyone, Hydra would look stupid to even bring up such non-sense, and Agony would have saved 3 bil plus the other set of ships they are gonna lose later on.
Nice risk taking per Hydra.

OMG!!! Agony has no honor!!!!
OMG!!! Hydra is too skeered to fight top teams, thus have no honor!!!!
This tourney is such a farce because of the actions of these 2 teams, and the lack of action on CCP to ban them from AT8!!!!!
I QUIT!!!!

Its actually a defect in the tournament structure. There is a reason why, for example, the world cup has first placed teams of one group go against second places of another.

Now try to get into the finals ... without winning either qualifier! *)
*) This may require more bribery since you'll have to get one of the 32 teams with at least one win to resign.

OMG can you stop saying "this is eve hahah we're cool cuz we have sandboxes and scams and bribes"
That was a very eve-thing to do, but it didn't happen because this is eve
It happened because CCP uses a **** tournament ranking system.
This is why in REAL tournaments the best ranked gets matched with the lowest ranked and so on.

As a one-off it is amusing, but allowing collusion between opposing teams is not a bright idea on CCP's part.
Unless I am mistaken, this is billed as a 'tournament' that allows the EVE community to watch pvp combat between the most talented players. By allowing and actually promoting bribery and match fixing, Claw and the other devs posting in this thread are opening the door for this to become more commonplace. This will result in farcical matches with the viewers not knowing if we are watching real pvp or simulated, rigged matches between teams.
This isn't rocket science. Why do you think this is such a serious issue in professional sports? This isn't about Eve being a 'sandbox'. If you want to paint it this way, then please add a disclaimer so viewers know that what we are watching are just fights with possibly isk/politics-rigged outcomes. If that's the case you can no longer call it a 'tournament' as this is not the accepted definition of a 'tournament'.
