Something like that.

Actually it was more like you bought an ticket to an tournament and one team fielded team A and team B both under one management. Both teams did well and earned their way to finals...
Than they fought and team A decided that team B earned it more and gave up after nearly annihilating the team B.
It wasnt cheap fight. |

compared to the 50/50 split of the prize money it was utter peanuts.

The worst part about the last tournament is that everyone knew from the get-go who were the B-teams from which alliances. All of those teams should have been dumped with prejudice by CCP before the matches ever got underway. |

I'd be up for an alliance tournament but not one where rare ships worth billions of ISK each are given away as prizes to the "winners." Notify: You are eaten by the Whumpus

The AT's in the past have been no stranger to that sort of thing yes.
But for some reason, this particular match just annoyed me. Easiest if you just watch the match as opposed to trying to describe it to you.

With only one logi allowed you might not see many of the new BCs in the tournament. |

Not after the farce of the last one.
Not quite good enough to be a bad joke, even by the "standards" of EVE's 1337-PvP plutocrats. I A/F/K cloak in Jita. Does that count? |

I'd rather watch a market trading PVP tournament than the last final.

me personally I'm looking forward to seeing some new tactics... i mean for the past 2 or 3 tournaments there's been 3 basic setups: the minmatar/galente rush team, the tengu/drake kite team, and the E-War/SB team.... heck Darkside was defiantely the most inventive as they fielded an Amarr rush team but even that was kind of a variation on an old theme... i wanna see something new something like an alpha team with Tornados and SB's... now that would be nice... or maybe they will lower the point value of Battleships and we will be able to see those more often... |

I've looked forward to it every year, and even though I wasn't happy that the initial games weren't screened, the last tournament itself was excellent up until the abortion, that was the final.

CCP Soundwave spending at least 5 minutes every broadcast telling us all how great it is, and how much fun he gets from playing games that aren't EVE... |

Yeah I was about to ask what the point of another of these would even be given how rigged they are.

The new Caldari BC will not have the same tank as the drake. So drake will still be the choice of pick for losing teams. |

If the last fight gets rigged somehow again they should just make every ones ship self destruct or discontinue the whole thing. |

Finals would have been fine if they had finished the match in proper style, instead of the craptacular throw that it was.
As for the new Tier 3 BCs in AT this coming year, I don't think the standard fits will be top tier for small gang PvP. They can't hit fast moving or small ships for decent damage, and they have sub-par tanks compared to Drakes and 'Canes.
On the other hand, they do have good speed and nice sensor strength. One could also simply fit them with medium weapons like normal and have a BC that goes almost 2000m/s and does better dps due to increased weapons slots. Should be interesting to see the variations that show up. "How do you kill that which has no life?" |

Not if the next one's like the last one, no, I'm not. The metagame has a place. CCP should not have encouraged it within a tournament that is about SHIP PVP.
If they want to put together a metagaming tournament, it'd be just fine if the teams then engage in it.
For the next one, match-fixing ought to be bannable. Randomized matchups within groups. Phew, just go and grab some of the methods real world tournies use to prevent exactly this sort of thing, rather than laughing and nodding and smiling at the outcome, which was enjoyable only for the participants, not the viewers. |

Ha ha ha ha...next alliance tourney. I'll probably be watching something a bit more genuine, like pro wrestling. Tournament. If you like rigged games, you'll love the bridge I have for sale in San Francisco. It's orange!
