I think you are looking at a hyper worst case scenario. While it is possible for a super rich alliance to attempt to buy every slot, it would not be cost effective for them to do so.
We are breaking new ground here with EVE tournaments and we will be analyzing every aspect of how teams are formed and how they participate in the event.
Why isn't it cost effective? Even at 50% conversion rate from ISK to US$ that's better than 0 conversion rate. I would take a trillion ISK and buy all the teams to make $10,000. Because if I can make a trillion, I can make a trillion more.
Sure, but we're going to be even harsher on colluding and foul play this year, so any sign that you're even remotely doing that and you're getting disqualified (and we'll keep the plexes of course) |

especially with the v3 project, I heard it is extremely easy compared to the past to make a custom skin once the pre work is done. And with fozzie bringing ship balancing to a whole new level, it can't be difficult to find some interesting bonus ideas
We're going to be keeping the different tournaments separate. The ships will still be part of the alliance tournament, while this format will have other goodies.

I'm surprised that it's even remarkable that CCP hopes to bring in more money than they pay out. That's how lotteries and raffles raise money, as well. After expenses, it probably won't even be that much.
Our tournament fees aren't really made to bring in money, as much as "let's cover our costs". |
