It has been mentioned before, but I think that one thing that is limiting the excitement for the New Eden Open is the fact that no one knows who these teams are. In contrast to the Alliance tournament, there is no direct affiliation. My mission is to change this, but I also am in the dark on some of these teams as well.
So, for those teams that are so inclined, please introduce yourselves in this thread. Tell us whether you are backed by an alliance, a small group, or a single person (e.g., Tinkerhell and Alts?!?!). Who are your star pilots? Include anything that might be interesting.
I will be doing some independent research in addition and will be posting my findings on www.wunder-bet.com. Lets try to make this a fun and successful tourney! |

Why Dash is the Pandemic Legion Team w/ Captain Elise Randolph.
Good call on the info part. It isn't like Alliance Tournament where we know who the alliances are or can at least stalk them on Eve Who The player teams are a dynamic new element to the New Eden Open, but I'm also forgetful as hell. I need a list. Voices from the Void; a bi-weekly podcast and weekly news vlog featuring current events of the MMORPG Eve Online.

I am team captain for "Something Else" formerly known as "****** Strength" which is PG13 as far as I am concerned. 
Our team has 7 TEST pilots and a representative from Razor, Goons, and FCON. We self-funded for this one as TEST didn't want to sponsor us due to the format/prize-pool. |

@CCP: Is it possible to post (here or on the NEO site) a list of captains for the public? This would certainly be helpful.
If not, perhaps someone who was online for the bidding process has a chat log they could post or send me? Then I could try to dig the captains out that way and compile a list. |

It is just a shame that our original team name Conmen's Internet Crime Fighting Force of Mohawk Induced Goggle Wearing Awesomeness had to be shortened to this new travesty.
However it is good that the team captains have been released, but I feel more should be done to publicise this tournament. As it stands, apart from people who are just enthusiastic to watch eve tournament fights, compared to the Alliance Tournament where everyone is rooting for someone and eve politics are involved, there is little to draw people in and get them excited about this.
It would maybe have been effective to have had some sort of eve press conference a week before the tournament, where the team captains were interviewed and asked to give information about their teams.
I just feel that something needs to be done to make this more interesting for the eve community at large. |

Definately agreed with the above. A way to introduce players to the masses will keep people interested, and rooting for a certain team, as in other tournaments for other games.
A quick teamspeak interview with captains may be a wise decision? |

It is just a shame that you thought this was a good team name to begin with. CAUTION

Very cool, thanks. One note, there is a discrepancy between this list and the one posted on the community site. Here there is a team " The Reputation Cartel", while the community site mentions a "The Gentelmen Renegades". Which is correct? |

Much Crying Old Experts is formed from the USTZ component of the failheap-challenge forums.
We're virtually all long-running bittervets, with a few exceptions. Expect to see a few well-known tournament regulars, some names familiar from eve videos (mostly solo and small gang), and a couple of lesser known pilots who I assure you are as good as the better known names. |

This is a pretty cool initiative, seeing as a lot of those people are talented yet probably don't have a specific alliance to back them up. For all the bad things that have been said about this tournament (some rightfully so, some not as much), the way teams are built in this format is a welcome change. CAUTION

The team which appears as "The Gentleman Renegades" in the dev blog has asked that their name be changed to "The Reputation Cartel" and will appear as such in further media. CCP Dolan | Community Representative

Hey everybody,
I'm the team captain for "The Exiled Gaming". We're representing our small HighSec alliance in this tournament. We don't have much experience and we don't have too many skillpoints. Looking at our first opponent "Something Else", we might get vaporized without even firing a single shot. But we decided on spending the ISK and time for this because we love the game and we want to actually take part in the events offered.
We wanna thank CCP for having us play this great game, thus ensuring that humanity isn't forced to play WoW. And we definitely want to thank everybody that's not laughing too hard after we got killed by those TEST guys. :)
Let's have fun and some good fights,
Imbor TXG Executor |

Hi, I am the Captain for the team Goggle Wearing Internet Crime Fighters.
We are a mixed alliance team, but with most members hailing from the alliance Suddenly Spaceships. My team has a mixture of tournament veterans like myself and people who whilst being PVP enthusiasts, have never had the opportunity to fly in an EVE tournament before.
We would all like to thank OWN3D for making this tournament possible. Having mixed alliance teams just makes this tournament all the more open for people, like many on my team, who would not normally have the opportunity to take part in what for many is the most fun form of PVP this game has to offer.
We would also like to thank CCP, for trying their hardest to make this tournament format work and giving us another chance to have some awesome fun in an eve tournament.
I hope this tournament is a success, I know there will be many lessons learnt on how to make a non-alliance tournament work, but I hope this tournament is successful enough to guarantee more in the future.
Good luck everyone, and I hope teams can strive to keep their in-game bitterness towards each others alliances separate from this fine tournament. |

Good link, interesting work you're doing.
As an aside, how are you going to decide odds without direct access to pilot lists or histories? |

Unfortunately, their strength right now is their anonymity. No team can really prepare for their opponent come the first match, because nobody knows who comprises their opponent.
It sucks. And it's what makes the New Eden Open less interesting than the Alliance Tournament, but I doubt you'll have too many teams showing their opening hand.
EDIT: Or Michael BoltonIII can just post all the team captains. Amarr Militia |

As opposed to fixed odds betting that you often see in sports betting, we offer pool betting in which the odds are determined by how much ISK is bet on each team and the ISK that winds up in the pool is split between the winners. Of course we seed each bet with some isk so that the first person to bet also has a chance to win something even if no one else bets against. |
