dude, as much as I'm upset that
A.Factional warfare has been ignored again, making militia a way to get on eve tv was a great draw. thanks ccp.
B.NOOO IVYLEAGUE! : (
the fact is, they said only so many teams would get in. thus they didn't dog anyone. there would need to have a whole overhual and enough teams interested to increase the cap. it would be TERRIBLE organization to overhual the tourny half way into picking teams. Wait for next year.
or in my opinion. They should have 2 a year.

why would an overhaul be required?
everything stays exactly the same, they just double the prequal matches.
they arent broadcast, the only thing anyone will see are the final results of the few teams that make it out of the prequal's alive.

As I mentioned elsewhere...
"Oh that's cool... not everyone could get in, and we just got unlucky this time.
I'm at least glad that us being out of it leaves room for such well established, dedicated, and DEFINITELY NOT FAKE alliances like "The Conglomeration of Ill Advised Ideas" whom have 23 members total among 6 corps that all joined up less then two weeks after the tournament was announced... and a total of one kill by one member during their entire existence as an alliance."

Your chances of winning are a lot better when you have 5 or 6 teams in the tournament, after all.

cmon ccp, you have a shot to make a decision thatll add 50+ teams to the tourney and make for a significantly better tournament...and far more people watching.
or you can just sit back and annoy hundreds of people by doing nothing while letting people get away with having multiple teams in the tourney...while other valid alliances are left out.

So the largest alliance in the game doesn't get in while a well known alt alliance does?

Thank god we have Power of Two, they have been preparing for this for months, by deftly adding their first (and only) loss to their kill board.... an orca.
Nobody in that alliance has ever shot at another ship apparently, but that's ok, that just means they will be EXCITING underdogs, right?

If you think you are too important to stay out of it, you should have won the auction.
Save 1mill for every tear, and you will buy your way in next year.

Its not about importancy. Its about that half of signed alliance got busted. This year no HUN reloaded, no Wrong Alliance ... So far when will small nameless alliances bring such a fight like this (or even close)? : AT7 HUN Reloaded vs Wrong Alliance I hope for next AT10 CCP will let all participants (but at least 128 alliances) to play ... at least 1 match ...

R0NIN are alliance in name only now and they bought a slot. I'm sure Goons could done out-bid them if AT9 were so important to you.

That isn't the point. The point is...

Originally by: CCP Zirnitra I will get the rules clarified a bit. To quickly answer:
2. There are no minimum limits for the pre-qualifiers, but keep in mind that you need wins, not draws to proceed to the group stages.
wat
are you guys stupid?
hi I am gonna field a single destroyer, win, score 62 points victory + 48 points handicap = 110 points~
oh hey I am automatically qualified !!
BRB signing up a ton of dummy alliances to sell literally free slots to the group stages
is literally going to happen. There is the potential for some matches that will be complete non-matches because a team is pretty much facing themselves. It ****s over the whole idea of the tournament.
Hence why we see so many of what are CLEARLY dummy alliances that are serving as Alliance X's A, B, C, and D teams.

At least this year they cannot be accused of fixing. We watched them pull it out of a hat. I understand why people are upset but really, its a game, get a beer and relax. Motty

Yeah its so damn hard to just add another pre-qualifier round so everyone would be happy and have a chance based on skills/dedication and not luck only.
Its not like those fights would need broadcasting or more than 3-5 mins to end. So hard to do something right ...

Sad that we dont get to strut our stuff in the 5on5s even. Hope they will extend the qualifiers for next year so the 10vs10 groupstages are based more on skill, practice and theorycraft than luck of the draw. I predict a whole lot of "Total Helldeaths" this year, might not be the most interesting thing ever. Still of course gonna watch though.

Not in any of the entered alliances, just a view but pretty disappointed with this.
Missing some big names + big alliances and FW for what? a bunch of alt corps and stuff like RvB? Give me a break CCP
If the best can't enter this tournament it no longer shows who is truly the best, deeply diminished value to me as a viewer and it should be a hollow victory to whoever wins knowing how many they were never matched against.
CCP either need to rethink how this selection is done or stop calling it an alliance tournament and just make it done by corp or something. Is it just the best team of 10 you can put together, or is it a boxing ring for the superpowers of eve to duke it out? |

I am in a Schmacshmu thread :D
Also yes I'm totally raging about this, I may have to take my anger out on someone elses kids
Just make unbroadcasted pre-qual matches CCP, at least this will make for a vibrant tourny full of actual PvPers
And for christsake do something about alt alliances.

Originally by: Telvani If the best can't enter this tournament it no longer shows who is truly the best, deeply diminished value to me as a viewer and it should be a hollow victory to whoever wins knowing how many they were never matched against.
But the tournament does show who is truly the best - everyone thinks it's about who's best at PVP but it's actually about who's best at metagaming, exploitation, running rings around CCP and bending the rules in general. That's what Eve Online is about these days and the tournament reflects this. If you and your chums didn't get a place in the tournament it's because you're not playing properly - you're expecting it to be all fair and above board.
There's very little e-honour floating about in this game and very little of which comes from CCP. They designed the competition - why do you think they purposefully only allowed 60 of 100 entries? Because they don't have the time? No, because some sick bastard thought it would be fun to get tempers flaring before even a single ship has entered the arena.
The tournament will happen. It'll be the usual farce. We'll all watch it on YouTube. The winners will still be gloating at the end of it all regardless of it being a "hollow victory". We'll all go through this again next year but then it'll be some other drama. --

always thought that there was a rule that you had to be in the alliance for 6 months prior to the tournament. Or did they drop that rule?

If they dropped it, it was a stupid idea to do so. It has its up side though, some new faces should be seen with different tactics hopefully.
