Originally by: Firekiller There are a lot of forfeits in this tournament due to RL issues. Perhaps there should be a small amount of leniency for those who cant make the scheduled time. I believe this would change the outcome dramatically. I know there is a schedule that you want to try and adhere to, but I feel for those teams who stood a good chance of winning and had to forfeit. Maybe a weekend would make for a better day next time you do one of these tournaments, not a day when most people work. Also, more notice would be appreciated, so people can sort out their schedules. Other then that, great job on the coordination of the tournament, hope to see another one soon.
How hard is it to get 3 alliance members on at the same time?
Pretty hard when you have to choose the fighters before you know the date and time they will be fighting. It would be pretty easy if you could choose from whoever is online at the time of the fight, but you cant do that once the team has been selected. Its obvious several alliances had the same problems with RL issues that kept them from competing.

Originally by: Skape Gote Hey Galaxion, nice job on the thread so far. Any chance we can see who was/is turning out for each alliance aswell as their ships?
I updated the details of the upcoming fight with the pilot names. It's too hard to refer to the names in the play-by-play commentary though, becuase I'm typing quickly and am liable to get confused
Appreciate that mate. Any details of chars that were involved b4? E.g It would be nice to know which of the 5 noobs got picked ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guess I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...... |

Edited by: Galaxion on 28/12/2005 23:46:23 OK here's the fight:
The EFA diemos instantly rushes out to tackle the support of POS, as well as each side's interceptors. EFA's battleship stays at range and deplys drones. POS' zealot makes his way over to the battleships and promptly engages the drones.
POS' battleship, with help from its zealot, takes out the diemos fairly quickly after the diemos engages, then shortly (20 seconds) afterwards they destroy EFA's interceptor as it is tackled by POS' interceptor.
The Zealot of POS is tanking the EFA's only remaining ship, the apoc, very well. All of POS (who have 3 ships remaining) focus fire onto the battleship.
EFA's apocalypse can tank the focused fire of POS.. but for how long? It's drones are slowly picked off. We are 5 minutes in to the fight.
Update: POS have been victorious, with all three ships remaining on the battlefield. An impressive display, and they are progresing to the next round. -----------------------------------------

Well, it's been helluva night so far. Great fights, a few non events, SMASH Alliance and it's 7 stabbed Domi *chuckle* - need to get Winterblink on that one - and a ground breaking 869 concurrent listeners tuned into EvE Radio for the event. Thats in the range of 100mbps and thanks to an oversite on behalf of our current server hosts, we were able to broadcast all that instead of the 50mbps we should have been capped at.
Tomorrow we will be doing the same again - and DJ Starfury will return between 4pm - 12am gmt to reprise his role as chief commentator and keep you all upto date.
However, due to a clash of scheduling (We have another event running at the same time) the commentary will run on a seperate 128kbps stream for the rest of the tournament. I'll make details available for this event specific stream a little later on here, in general discussion and on the eve radio website.
Thanks for tuning in, our excess bandwidth expenses are going to run into the hundreds.
Let's see if tomorrow or friday we can make the 1000 concurrent listeners mark.

OK, here's how the next teams are lined up:
Fountain Alliance have a dominix (agatka), a zealot (Therax), as well as a retribution (Voltaire Leriel)
3rd Front have a megathron (Clipped Wings), a diemos (Ichabod Crane), and a Wolf (Lacrimae).
7 Minutes until they lock horns. -----------------------------------------

3FA immediately all dump their drones, and are approached by the FA Zealot as well as a MWD'ing FA Dominix (nos setup anyone?).
The FA inty is slow to catch up, and 3FA make the zealot the focus of their fire at this now very close range battle (<5KM).
3FA's mountain of drones relentlessly persue the FA inty which tries to run away. No casualties as yet about 2 minutes in.
The FA Zealot drops 3 minutes in, the dominix of FA is concentrating on nossing and droning the 3FA Megathron.
3FA then next lose their diemos after it is attacked ferociously by the dominix. the 3FA battleship recalls some drones off the FA inty to protect itself.
Now 4 minutes in, and the dominix also manages to finsih off 3FA's interceptor. This leaves only 3FA's megathron.
Update: The drones of the 3FA megathron do their job and finally kill the FA inty. Now is it just the mega versus the dominix. 1v1. Very close range. We are 5 minutes in.
Update2: They are still at it one v one.. and both appear to be nossing each other but this could be a bug. The dominix is proving a tough opponent as it chases the megathron who is trying and failing to move and gain some range. They are approximately 500m apart. We are 7 minutes into the fight. I do not have stats on health so I do not know who has the upper hand... yet.
Final Update:The developers have extended the time for the teams. Each others drones are attacking and canceling the other's out. Agatka's armour tank is failing faster than that of the thron. After 9 minutes.. they surely must be nearly both out of cap. The range is still unbelieveably close.
Final Final Update: 11 Minutes into the fight, and for the last 5minutes+ the battleships have been duking it out 1 v 1.
The FA battleship is DOWN!
After a very long, tedious, close contest, 3rd Front chipped away enough of the dominix to cause its tank to fail. 3rd Front progress and FA.. are out. -----------------------------------------

You want to, oh I don't know, give the guy a break? Not everyone at EvE Radio has as much in depth knowledge of the game as DJ Starfury or myself. Some people just contribute to the best of their ability despite being thrown i nat the deep end without any real warning as to whats happening. I recall posting earlier about how it was a last minute decision for us to cover todays preliminaries that we had previously decided NOT to do because of the lack of preperation time for it. However, being as we're good sports and enjoy the prospect of supplying you all with up to date and as accurate as possible info direct from the event, we figured we'd throw caution to the wind and make do with the people we had available.
I think considering we've done a damn fine job. Perhaps before whinging about somebodys ability to stream free content direct to you, you ponder how easy it would be for you to commentate on something you're not 100% upto speed on with hundreds of people counting on you while some jack ass with a bug up his **** chute gives you a hard time.
If memory serves the station is called Eve radio indicating its aimed at Eve players presumably by Eve players. Maybe for your next radio venture you could set up over reacters radio as you seem to be quite the expert at that to. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guess I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...... |

You can blame Diaego for that.
Part of our expansion included purchasing 2 new dedicated 100mbit servers and we've started the process of migrating hosted content and switching DNS to the new boxes to get them working immediately. Unfortunately, this process started before the decision was made to go on with the event today so we are kinda stuck with DNS propogation issues and the like. Should all be sorted by tomorrows bouts so everybody should be able to tune in again. Apologies to those that are having difficulty at the moment.

We already have a show for that. It's called House Of Blades, usually on tuesday evenings. Please feel free to stop by when it's back on air - you'll be most welcome.

Edited by: Voltaire Leriel on 29/12/2005 00:32:47 Just discovered that as soon as Therax's Zealot (BIG/FA) locked onto a ship in the 3FA vs. FA battle, his computer locked up. he didnt even get to turn on his armor repairers...
:(
Good fight though! I got to pop that wolf about 2 seconds before those drones finished me off.
PS: I was not in a ceptor, i was in an Retribution Assault Frigate, tanked like crazy. Not enogh for those drones though :P

Right thankfully EVE came back and the battle was also delayed.. but here it is now:
The SE raven immediately goes for the CC Apocalypse. The inty of SE also moves towards CC to get the opposition. The SE ishtar is as yet unresponsive. The three CC ships are staying at their end of the arena and the support are not making any attempt to close the enemy. 60 seconds in.
Now the CC Zealot and Enyo are moving towards the SE fleet. The SE taranis is involved in a wild flanking maneoveur. The CC apoc is tanking the extreme volleys of missiles well.
Update: The CC Apoc is down! This is less than 3 minutes in the fight. The SE Raven has an insane ROF on his launchers! The SE raven casually shifts to the CC Zealot. Meanwhile, the other rmaining CC ship (the enyo) goes after the ishtar.. solo. I can se that ending messily...
Although the zealot has tanked the raven for about 60 seconds, it surely cannot withstand any more for much longer. It is actually lasting longer than the apocalypse. Meanwhile, about 50km away, the ishtar and two inty's of the opposing sides are duking it out with drones aplenty. We are 5 minutes into the fight.
Update2: In the space of 20 seconds, the SE raven pops the CC zealot and the drones of the SE's ishtar eat the poor CC enyo.
SE win rather convincingly with no losses. CC mounted a rather disorganised attack and it showed. -----------------------------------------

Next is KAOS empire versus Imperium Alliance. The teams?
KAOS: a Navy Megathron (Kozak), a Diemos (Kunming), and a stiletto (almightybig)
IMP: Caldari Navy Raven (eternaldark), a Vagabond (Miz Cenuij), and a Jaguar (Acks).
This looks like the most expensive fight yet!

Edited by: Galaxion on 29/12/2005 00:49:21 Edited by: Galaxion on 29/12/2005 00:48:03 And the fight with many, many $$$ goes as such:
One team engaged the other before the thing started...
but now it has started!
IMP's CNR imediately tears apart the MWD'ing KAOS stiletto in about 5 seconds. Then the CNR of DeathÖ turns its attention to the hostile diemos, while the IMP support cling to the CNR. The Navy Mega of KAOS has MWd'd with impunity up to the CNR and opens fire. I fear the diemos of KAOS will not be able to tank for much longer, and the drones of the entire IMP fleet (Ogre II's) are on him also. No-one in IMP has yet sen to the Navy Mega which is still rapidly closing. We are about 3 minutes in...
The Vagabond of IMP, which was the primary target of the diemos of KAOS, goes down 4 minutes in without much visual sign of a fight.
The CNR has left the diemos alive and switched targets to the now very close (almost in blaster range) Navy Mega. The Diemos has also just popped the IMP frigate. We are 5 minutes in...
Update: It is 2 v 1.. but that CNR almost counts for two ships by itself. It's drones concentrate on the surely crippled diemos, while its insane missile spammage seems to be tanked by the Navy Mega, now well in its optimal and blasting seven bells out of the CNR. I do not have shield/armour stats at this moment.
Final Update: The CNR goes down in a blaze of glory after tanking the Mega for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
With two ships on the field (Navy Megathron and Diemos), the KAOS Allaince proceed to the next round. -----------------------------------------

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is that for day one of the tournament. I hope you enjoyed by commentary and (Powers that be willing) I will be at the battleground tomorrow to cover the final 32 and final 16 matchups! -----------------------------------------
