He's got a point. BoB cheated by not putting a comedy setup on their crow....
Seriously though, now that it's over, any chance the BoB crow pilot, and the ASCN crow pilot could post their setups? Be an interesting read.
Edit : Also congratulations BoB. And congratulations ASCN for reaching the final.

BoB are the best pvp alliance in the game bar none.
It's not the isk, it's not the ships, it's not the modules, it's not anything other than the pure teamwork built up over years of playing together.
Keep trying peeps and remember not to slate us until the fat lady sings... you never know when you will end up with egg on your face.

Nah.
You can pretty much take it for granted that there were pirate implants in everybody that got to the last 8, and likely the last 16.
And why are BoB and ASCN rich? Because they're successful. And why are they successful? Because they're talented. And oh look, they happen to be good at PvP too (or at least have 5 players that are good at PvP), why's that, perhaps it's something to do with being talented?
After the great entertainment that Eve TV have put on for us, the work that has gone in from Eve Radio and CCP, and the participation by the alliances it's saddening to see bitter people sniping at BoB with alts when really all I can say is thanks for the entertainment.

You're an alliance, and everyone invests effort/time/money so that their alliance wins through top quality gear. If you dont put in the investment, then dont whine your team thats representing your alliance isnt kitted out with the best gear to win. -------------------------------

Perhaps a silly question for BoB, and I didn't hear anything on it in the commentary, but here goes: Why when you started spreading fire didn't you start popping the maintanance drones to help break the tank? Or were you?

Its 3 rocket launchers with a rail gun stuck in the last 4th spot. So give the guy some slack. It wasn't about rails, it was about range.

thanks to a bob member pointing out to all the fools that there is 4 highs 3 launcher 1 turret, and thus a rail is there as max offence ability. so the only factor in set ups as you say was range.
ps can you educate the comentators for the next tornerment so they have the basic nolage too.
nice battel well planed out to counter each other anded in a 1v1 so not a lot you can say to that other than enjoy the new toys.

Congrats to BoB. That semi-final match will probably be the talk of this Tourney. Aside from Eve TV being brand new at what they did and I thought it was awesome.
Also, I thoought IFNI was the best analyst as far as neutrality could go. He did a great job of commenting.
Great job everyone! _________________________

Those semi-finals were absolutely fantastic, FTW to the all Gallente team ASCN. It brings a tear to my eye to see them play! I think if BoB didn't have the Huginn, then things would have been pretty messy for them in the final. Congrats anyhow! I still think they should make it a Battleship 1on1 in the future... -----------

I dont think so, I think ASCN made a mistake of waiting for BoB instead of coming to them: They were close range and BoB was long range, meaning to ASCN the distance didnt matter regarding their ability to tank. Therefore, they had 30 (!) mins total to close up 50km gap, So they should have been going slowly towards the BoB team, and if needed, send in one of the frigates (we saw they dont die anyway) to web one of their key ships, and then close in with the rest.
But I guess their commander wasnt smart enough for that, or didnt think wise to fit at least one webber on one of the frigs since they all were blasters... ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE

Congrats BoB!
While disappointed with the entertainment value of the final, I can see how it turned into such a stalemate. ASCN approaching BoB would've been suicide with the huginn undoubtedly having it's webbers primed. Maybe BoB could've approached ASCN and drive them out of the Arena, but I doubt they'd have fallen for that.
At least the inty fight was over quickly Glad that didn't end up in watching 2 crows orbiting eachother for another 10 minutes.
Have to say that ASCN did a good job too, tanking BoB's dps wasn't easy, and the urge to try and get in there guns blazing must have been hard

Audrea - that would have been the end of the frig, any ship that went more that 10K away from the main group would have died v quickly... They had to move as a group or not at all!

Yeah true, what I meant is that ALL their ships move together in the speed of the slowest one, and if needed, one frig could go out to web their primary while the rest approach.
The repair drones would have been enough to hold out for that long I think.. depends how many drones they had. ------------------ Tired of fleet combat lag? -Post HERE

The frig had to be in the distance of maintenance drones, cap transfer and armor rep, that's why they had to move as one unit i.e. at the speed of the slowest ship. And it was not lame. They had their strategy, BoB had their. Both strategies worked well. The fact that ASCN didn't get to press F1,F2,F3... is not making them lame. After all, BoB made no effort to try out something to actually break the tank. No one wanted to lose, that's why no one tried some unconventional risky moves.
As for the inty duel.
1) CCP should rematch it with both pilots having autoreject on. 2) those who spammed pilots with convos should enjoy a nice perma-ban on their accounts. 3) too bad ASCN didn't expect that BoB will actually pull their ceptor setup off ASCN own killboard, why they couldn't do the same, or at least think about this happening.

As for the inty duel, it would make no difference tbh. Any number of rematches in the same ships with the same pilots would give the same result. If you think that changing the setups should be allowed, you are not asking for a rematch, you are asking for a second chance.

Quote: But I do agree it was very lame to just sit there take it... but oh well...GG to all
tbh, and i mean this with respect, it was pretty "lame" (lame being a valid tactic) for BOB to field the huginn. They must have watched our match against ASCN and saw that with a torp raven (5/2 torp/cruise), a 720 gankish sleipnir and a cerberus we couldnt break the tank on the deimos or the eos. How they expected to do it with a 7 cruise CNR and a gang modded Vulture i have no idea
The problem was, both teams played the "no matter what we arent going to lose" strategy (pretty much like what SMASH did and got slated for) which led to a complete stalemate. If props go to anyone it should be ASCN for fielding something of a different setup to the usual and a display of good teamwork, no matter how boring it was
Oh and please change the decider for next time. Arranged inty duels are so crap its not funny and something better (though i cant think what) should have been used to wrap up what has been an awesome tournament

I'm not asking for setup change. I know ASCN made a mistake with their setup and would lose again. But as ASCN crow was sorter range it had to do more manuevering (sp) and in that case those convos influenced him more. It would only be a fair play game without all those tards spamming convos.

Congrats to BoB and ascn, some nice fights.
I kind of think do with the rules at hand, the only two viable options to win where a missile/tank setup are an uber tank setup. Rails, arties are long range lasers just don't have the damage i think and would have trouble if the others would come close range, for close range blasters, autocanons, nosses and lasers the webifier bonus ships take care of that. Maybe ascn could have used a webifier ship to but well they just would still crawl to eachother. Maybe with ecm allowed we would see different setups in the finals.
All in all i really enjoyed it.

Why say things like this? What would they have done, waited for BOB to run ut of ammo?
I dont think so, I think ASCN made a mistake of waiting for BoB instead of coming to them: They were close range and BoB was long range, meaning to ASCN the distance didnt matter regarding their ability to tank. Therefore, they had 30 (!) mins total to close up 50km gap, So they should have been going slowly towards the BoB team, and if needed, send in one of the frigates (we saw they dont die anyway) to web one of their key ships, and then close in with the rest.
But I guess their commander wasnt smart enough for that, or didnt think wise to fit at least one webber on one of the frigs since they all were blasters...
Signed. Thought that ACSN kissdeath them. They dont doi it. Why ?
Hmmm...

tbh, and i mean this with respect, it was pretty "lame" (lame being a valid tactic) for BOB to field the huginn. They must have watched our match against ASCN and saw that with a torp raven (5/2 torp/cruise), a 720 gankish sleipnir and a cerberus we couldnt break the tank on the deimos or the eos. How they expected to do it with a 7 cruise CNR and a gang modded Vulture i have no idea
The problem was, both teams played the "no matter what we arent going to lose" strategy (pretty much like what SMASH did and got slated for) which led to a complete stalemate. If props go to anyone it should be ASCN for fielding something of a different setup to the usual and a display of good teamwork, no matter how boring it was
Oh and please change the decider for next time. Arranged inty duels are so crap its not funny and something better (though i cant think what) should have been used to wrap up what has been an awesome tournament
So you admit that alltho you had a dmg oriented team, you still lost to ASCN's tank team. BoB had the brains AT LEAST to counter their dmg, yet you call them lame.
Bitter, anyone?

Edited by: Niraco79 on 24/07/2006 09:30:28 Congratz bob for performance, hail to our ASCN team for their performance .
As for those who spammed BoB pilot shame on you, if u are from ascn i hope u will get booted from this great alliance. This is not ASCN way. for those who spammed our pilot i will not say a word as i hope your corpmate`s will look at you.
EDIT: as for the inty duel itself i rather see mr. fix (a great guy) to be killed by Bob counterpat in a fair fight for both parties where setup mistakes make you pay. but we will never know cause both pilots have been spammed. And BoB pilot had a better PC to counter the convo lag. And yes i think BoB pilot would win again in those setups but i repeat now we will never know for sure. Shame on those who spammed the pilots. ________________ THE MEGA NOOB |

Congrats BoB! And ASCN! I was and still am impressed by what you pulled off.
And the fact that both teams fielded completely different ships and still managed to tank all that damage (can we get a Damage Sustained report pls?) is a testament to the absolute brilliance of both teams. You could argue that BoB never sustained any damage but thats not the point here, hopefully you will see that.
Also, it being pure Gallente vs mixed but leaning on Caldari was a really cool thing, it may have ended in a draw but when it first kicked off I was extremely pleased not seeing two Caldari dominated teams (Not that I would have argued that much had it been MC in the finals but hey ) and it was still, for me, fun to watch at least half way since there was several really nice attempts on tactics to swing the game. And it was close...soooo close that it worked.
The Interceptor fight was one sided but it was a 50/50 gamble by ASCN and they picked wrong. A very valid setup (and tbh, I too thought it was only rails on that crow but that was because it looked like that and not the commentator misstake) just the wrong setup this time.
However, it should have been a 5 vs 5 for maximum entertainment or perhaps 5 rounds of 1 vs 1 for the whole team but that is for the next Tourny. I hope. Please. 
Again, mad props to the Team's that participated, CCP, EVE-TV and all people working to bring us these type of things; It is what makes EVE stand tall above all other games!

After the finale, I watched the ceptor duel semi-afk, often only listening to the audio stream.
And effectively, when I heard the speakers laugh about a railcrow, I too simply could'n believe it. I'am a ceptor pilot myself, abandoned crusaders and came to crows because when you use snakes and Gistii-A's, there come a point where you simply go to fast to hit anything and you need something that isn't dependent on tracking.
Anyhow, we may assume that both pilots would have very equivalent skills and fundamentally the same max fighting range if using standard launchers. Therefore, forgetting about speed, I would have used a very unorthodox setup basically transforming a crow into a mobile sentry missile battery as follows:
- standard launchers, 2x arbies 1 malkuth - 3x Phased weapon navigation array generation extron - 2x BCS II - 200mm reinforced tungsten plate
I'am quite confident that this would have blowed every classical long or close range ceptor setup, since even close combat/plated ceptors would have been hit by at least 2 volleys before being able to engage.

We could have easily fielded a huginn as well, and it would have probably gone the same way the final did with not a lot happening. However, we played the riskier strategy of hoping we had enough to ***** one of their ships (either the remote tanking of the Eos, or their dmg dealer, the deimos). The strategy nearly paid off, and if we had of gone for the Eos straight away, we probably would have won
Dont for a second think we didnt think of fielding a huginn to keep them at range. That was a clearly obvious strategy that anyone could have played. We decided to play it differently, and it didnt pay off.
Am i bitter about it? Hell no, our team was top notch and wiped the floor with just about every team we went up against. Just look at our fight against The Five and how quickly our team took them down.
What have i got to be bitter about? Some good friends of mine won the competition, and they did bloody well to do it again. The only reason i voiced my opinion was because one of the DICE guys said it was lame for ASCN to sit there and tank it. I disagreed and gave my opinion on the fight.
If it was lame for ASCN to sit and tank then it was just as lame for BOB to field the huginn. What else could ASCN have done? There was no way they would have got into range with the huginn on the field

I think the next tournment should change the ship format a lot. The current 1 of each size lends itself two easily to tanking, forever.

See my comments on the ASCN match here.
What Eye said is correct - we considered the Huginn and decided it would be more risky/fun/satisfying to go in and try to win with raw firepower. Even ASCN will tell you that the match could have gone either way at least three times.
No bitterness, no regrets. We had no forfeits and got the pleasure of fighting some very honorable and fun opponents. I believe we gathered and returned the loot from every match we won and returned it to the opposing team as well. The MC quite literally burned our way through every match we fought. We went out is a blaze of glory and I won't second guess our decisions after the fact.
The four best teams made it and the two teams with the "smarter" tactics went forward to the final. It was a bit anti-climactic, but such is the way of things. We can all try again in six months! \o/

Congrats BOB, and your performance in the match against IAC is what renders EVE such a wonderful game.
We obviously think along similar lines
setup was:
3 x Standard Launcher IIs
1 x MWD II 1 x Sensor Booster II 1 x Target Painter II
1 x Local Hull Nanofiber 1 x PDU II 1 x Cap Power Relay
I think top speed was ~ 8k/s Theoretical max range on the lights was just shy of 60km.

congratz bob, awesome matches and well done on your second score.
To all the nay sayers and complainers about the "boring final". If one side only has the dps of 1 combat ship and relies purely on nos + ubertank there is not much you can do even with "good dps". Now if this side is also stopped by a mod and ship used in a noteable amount of the matches its not bob who calculated or played it lame.
Ascn tried to do a 1 trick pony going shortrange and nos / remoterepping again after its success against mc. Bad choice of setup especially since bob had to switch 1 ship anyways because a logistic ship would have been deadish weight against a suckathron anyways.
For the mc team, as much as i liked your matches and really saw you go further you talk too arrogant wrg to "not taking the easiest solution". Thats like claiming anyone especially hardening against kinetic and thermal vs ASCN would take the easy way....

Arrogant? M8, I never said anything about "easy" or "hard". I just said we went with what probably wasn't the smartest solution. We used the "UGH SMASH WITH STICK!" approach because we thought it would be more fun. As for our hardening, we changed absolutely nothing on our ships for that fight. Hell, our Cerb had something insane like 90%+ resists to kin/thermal the entire Tourney anyway.  -

That MC tried another approach, well done sadly it didnt work. BoB - Mc would have been interesting, but luck decided that match (the eos coming back in the missile reload) as some others (wrecking hits on the curse or the nearly decisive turn on disconnects).

Ok, im gonna get angry. Read my ****in post you ****
I called BOB "lame" as the DICE guy called ASCN "lame". Why? Well if you wanna call ASCN sitting and tanking, when they couldnt do anything else lame, then why not call BOB lame for fielding the Huginn? It was fairly obvious what would happen if BOB fielded the huginn, and it was fairly abvious what would have happened if ASCN have changed to a rail setup
The only thing that could have made the final exciting was is either of the teams had done some "dangerous", such as ASCN fielding a completely different race of ships (which i doubt their entire team was specced for) or for BOB to stick with the logistics cruiser and hope they can tank ASCN long enough to kill them (which going by our fight with ASCN, would have been suicide)
So both teams played it safe, stuck with what they had or what they knew was the safe option and the match was boring. To call either teams lame, is, imo, stupid. That is the entire point i have been trying to make, but which no one seems able to grasp.
Sheesh i thought this community was intelligent but apparently all you have to do is call someone lame and everyone stops reading

I dont really want to get into the semantics of it all and detract from BOB winning the tournament, but....
BOB won an arranged interceptor 1v1. They didnt beat the ASCN five man team with their five man team. So to say BOB fielding the huginn was a master stroke in strategy terms is plainly wrong.
If they had done something radical and wiped out the ASCN team in 5 minutes i think everyone would bow down to BOB as teh uber (just like they were in the IAC fight tbh), but fielding the huginn was both the safe and obvious choice which led to the stalemate.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone manage to take out all 5 of ASCN's ships during the tournament?

Edited by: Alasse Cuthalion on 24/07/2006 11:12:22 I have to give kudos to the ASCN pilots, their setup is extremely effective (as proved last time around), from what I can tell they were using something along the lines of:
Navy Mega - Nos/large remote rep combo up top
Eos - Nos/remote rep combo again
Deimos - Damage dealer
Eris/Ishkur - Logistic drone support, cannon fodder basically
Typically most teams went straight for the smaller ships, either cruiser and/or destroyer, if you try this against ASCN they just remote rep the ships to the point where they're nigh on unkillable and by the time you've realised this there's a Mega and an Eos sucking you dry whilst a Deimos takes you apart with his blasters.
To effectively beat the ASCN setup you have to break the healing chain, this means knocking out either the Navy Mega or the Eos, once you've done that you can take out the other healing ship relatively easy and then the Deimos will melt shortly after. This is what we did last time round knocking out the Mega first which had so successfully kept the Deimos alive throughout the rest of the tourney.
Imo, the "problem" was the gang size, five people is enough to create a rediculously powerful healing chain whilst still easily coordinated and very little chance a quick change of targets would lead to someone being instapopped.
I wouldn't pin the blame on us for just neutralising their setup, others tried and failed to break their tanks and had we fielded the Scimitar and let them get right on top of us they probably would've taken us apart. Look at the first final, we only just took out that bastard Navy Mega in time with Fury Cruise, this time we had to do it without Fury missiles and with an extra healing ship in their gang?!
I'd like to see team sizes of ten next time round tbh, there will be less emphasis on tanking and more on damage output which will make the matches much more entertaining to watch imo.

Saying that BoB didn't beat ASCN but only won an arranged intie 1v1 is like saying Italy didn't really win the world cup, but only managed to beat France in a penalty shoot out.
The rules have stated for a long while that in case of an absolute tie, a 1v1 intie fight would bring the decision. Like it or not, those were the rules, so technically BoB did beat ASCN.
But what does it really matter anyway? The tourny has been played, lots of fun was had, there are always going to be people *****ing about *insert random alliance here*.
I had a lot of fun helping out in the matches I was involved in, had a lot of fun watching the other matches and discussing what was going on with corpmates, and ofcourse falling asleep during the final

Hiya Eye...Btw I'm not DICE, but BNC. Either way.
I stand by my comment. They had plenty of time to try and get closer, probably in vein but trying and failing is better than sitting still and not accomplishing anything. If you continue to field a setup that is shut down by a single module then you can't complain if you are stuck in making your plans work.
Its all done now, no point crying over the milk. Its a shame you guys lost

I'd have to give it some more thought but I don't think the following would be too bad...
2x Frigate 2x Cruiser 1x BC 5x BS
The reason I'd like to see more BS than support is purely because of the damage capabilities, two BS aren't going to be able to put enough down to swing the match around if the other team are heavily rep'ing one person for example.

I wanna congratulate my own alliance for bringing some of the most entertaining matches. The match against ASCN was the best I have seen in the tourney. As everyone could hear, the CNRs damage stopped as soon as the Ios hit structure, 3 more volleys or less and it would have gone down, and the fight would have been won. Now once again, MC was beaten coz the needed luck failed in a very close match. Ofc Kudos to ASCN also for daring the close range setup. All in all I think it was okay Bob won, but only due to their masterful semi-final. The semis had the 4 best teams in the tourney, imho. If I should rate the 4 tops from viewing what I had in the tourney, I think it should have been like this: 1. MC. 2. Bob 3. ASCN 4. IAC.
I think IAC was the biggest surprise for me in the tourney, they were very good, but as always, its the little differences(making the right choice in the right time, doing max damage, having the right counter etc that made the differences). _______________________________________

Why not do something like a 7 v 7, with ships free of choice, just not more than 3 out of the same class? And allow a pool of 10 pilots to choose from.
Might have to fiddle with the numbers, but you get the idea. It would make for some interesting strategy options, and it would be a lot harder to predict what each team would field.

Much <3 to all teams that we fought against (and those we didn't), to the devs/ISD/EveTV/Volunteers etc. Special hugs to LeMonde for his patience and hard work during the last few weeks to make all this happen.
Thank you Seleene for for a freaking AWESOME match, my hands were shaking pretty badly after our match.
Thank you Kozak and the other fine ASCN pilots I flew with for the entire tournament, your dedication and teamwork makes me very proud to be a part of our alliance. Thanks also to the support of all other ASCN pilots who supported us during the tournament, both with the equipment you supplied, and the words of encouragement and praise you gave us on a daily basis.

I dont think so, I think ASCN made a mistake of waiting for BoB instead of coming to them: They were close range and BoB was long range, meaning to ASCN the distance didnt matter regarding their ability to tank. Therefore, they had 30 (!) mins total to close up 50km gap, So they should have been going slowly towards the BoB team, and if needed, send in one of the frigates (we saw they dont die anyway) to web one of their key ships, and then close in with the rest.
But I guess their commander wasnt smart enough for that, or didnt think wise to fit at least one webber on one of the frigs since they all were blasters...
Audrea - that would have been the end of the frig, any ship that went more that 10K away from the main group would have died v quickly... They had to move as a group or not at all!
But I do agree it was very lame to just sit there take it... but oh well...GG to all
w00t!
Sorry, but how the **** does a team not just sit there when they are being webbed so that the are unable to get into thier optimal range? Its YOUR fault that they just sat there, you could have let them come nearer, but ofcourse that wasnt going to happen. In effect your calling yourself lame for making them just sit there.
I however think both teams did well in the final, and played it safe, like any team would in such a tourny. The inty fight was totally bollucks, what the hell were ASCN thinking, threw the tourny away.
Congratz to BoB for winning it convincingly once again. I do however feel that if MC had gone for the EOS first it would have been a better final. ------------------

Hiya Eye...Btw I'm not DICE, but BNC. Either way.
I stand by my comment. They had plenty of time to try and get closer, probably in vein but trying and failing is better than sitting still and not accomplishing anything. If you continue to field a setup that is shut down by a single module then you can't complain if you are stuck in making your plans work.
Its all done now, no point crying over the milk. Its a shame you guys lost
My apologies m8, was those new sigs that you use, thought only DICE had them
Anyway, yes what you say is true, fielding a setup that can be neutralised by 1 module is probably not that smart, but then what else could they do? A rail setup would have been totally ineffective, there was no point in them even attempting to approach the BOB team, they were never gonna get close. That was point. It wasnt "lame", there was just nothing else they could do
As for my comment about BOB not beating ASCN, i still stand by it. Nobody could best the ASCN tanking, and sometimes, like they did against us and Stain, they could get in close enough to do their thing. If they couldnt get in close, then their tanks were too strong for ANY team in the game to break.
That says 2 things. 1) They planned that setup very carefully and used it to great effect and 2) Kozak is a boring mofo . ASCN strategy = We wont lose. They played it and did it the whole tournament. Remote reps + rep drones. BOB's tactic the entire tournament was exactly the same. The difference was that their damage could be done at any range, ASCN limited theirs to up close.
If you review both the teams and how they played it throughout the tournament they were very similar, except for the close range ASCN against the caldari BOB team. The remote repping of the top 3 ships was the heart of both teams

Originally by: News Saying that BoB didn't beat ASCN but only won an arranged intie 1v1 is like saying Italy didn't really win the world cup, but only managed to beat France in a penalty shoot out.
Thing is that is exactly how I viewed the world cup final, settling things on penalties or a 1 v 1 ceptor fight is a really sucky way to settle things IMO and its not the same as really "winning".
What I would like to have seen is the match be extended for 5 minutes and at the end of each 5 minutes each team has to withdraw 1 ship until you are left with a 1 vs 1 batle which at least keeps it to the teams that entered in the first place and makes it likely for a better finish.

Gratz BoB well fought again.
Hopefully the next tourney will have a few tweaks otherwise I can see alot of teams going for the ASCN option. 
Oh and BoB now that you have 2 motherships will you use one or are they to stay in the trophy cabinet (just curious never really heard you using the last one)?

Moving was no tactical option, BoB would have been able to outmaneuver us easily besides the fact that they would have had a chance to seperate ships through tactical webbing.

Without ew, that many BS would probably make for fairly boring long range sniper fests
I could be wrong of course

Better than a giant hug fest imo.
I think there's a lot of scope for close range tactics as well though, imagine a pair of Huginn's holding down the opposite team and five Vindicators/AC Mach's roaring up, sure you might lose one or two on the approach but it'd be great fun to watch.
The current layout promotes a defensive style which is ultimately quite boring most of the time.

Firstly,
Gratz to Bob. I will never forget that comeback against IAC and how everyone on our TS was simply astounded 
It will be interesting to see what changes LeMonde makes to the next tournament - if any.
He already stated yesterday, before the ceptor duel iirc, that they would be looking at the possibility of EW which may be interesting or could be boring - depending on the limitations.

One thing about the EW modules actually allowed in this tournament was pretty obvious, they got used like mad. Which is to no big suprise, target painters allow to increase the damage potential while webs were usually needed to keep nos-boats and other close range ships at bay. It some cases a lack of choices for medium slots for the armor tanking setups or in other teams implemented in the team strategy. To allow other forms of EW can make or break the tournament though, too much will ruin it, a scorp and a rook should be able to jam easily 5 to 10 ships or at least prevent them from effective use of remote repair. I would like frig or cruiser tournaments where teams have a limit of what they can field. Since these ships are a lot less tankable as command ships and battleships the fights might be more interesting too, a lot more expensive as well though.

Edited by: Blacklight on 24/07/2006 13:37:27 I think it's congrats all round to everyone who participated, I thought the whole tournament was pretty riveting and a lot of fun (barring a few matches and some no shows, which is pretty much unavoidable in a competition of this scale). The amount of time, effort and support given freely by so many people in order to make it happen speaks volumes about the game, the community and CCP.
Bravos and backslaps all round!
As for some of the comments in this thread, what can I say, everyone's a critic. If we had not fielded the Huggin and lost everyone would have been saying "omg BoB the lamers, how stupid are you for not adapting your setup and letting ASCN get up close" equally if ASCN hadn't kept playing to their strengths and had let us disrupt their tanking they'd have faced the same criticism. You simply can't have it both ways and you can't please everyone all the time.
Just a quick comment to some of the amateur tacticians as well, if you think that we went through that fight with the brains and experience of people like TWD, Molle, Dian, DBP, Juan, Thol and myself on teamspeak together without trying every different combination of approaches to break ASCN's tank with the tools we had you are living in a dreamworld.

Originally by: Eyeshadow
Originally by: Kcel Chim i was more refering to Eyeshadow who started to call ppl "lame" for using a ship and a mod this tourney has seen a dozend times.
That MC tried another approach, well done sadly it didnt work. BoB - Mc would have been interesting, but luck decided that match (the eos coming back in the missile reload) as some others (wrecking hits on the curse or the nearly decisive turn on disconnects).
Ok, im gonna get angry. Read my ****in post you ****
I called BOB "lame" as the DICE guy called ASCN "lame". Why? Well if you wanna call ASCN sitting and tanking, when they couldnt do anything else lame, then why not call BOB lame for fielding the Huginn? It was fairly obvious what would happen if BOB fielded the huginn, and it was fairly abvious what would have happened if ASCN have changed to a rail setup
The only thing that could have made the final exciting was is either of the teams had done some "dangerous", such as ASCN fielding a completely different race of ships (which i doubt their entire team was specced for) or for BOB to stick with the logistics cruiser and hope they can tank ASCN long enough to kill them (which going by our fight with ASCN, would have been suicide)
So both teams played it safe, stuck with what they had or what they knew was the safe option and the match was boring. To call either teams lame, is, imo, stupid. That is the entire point i have been trying to make, but which no one seems able to grasp.
Sheesh i thought this community was intelligent but apparently all you have to do is call someone lame and everyone stops reading
seems its quiet easy to get you angry. You should take courses for that and cut down on the insults....
Anyways back to the point, ASCN set out for full tank and no damage at all (only the partly the deimos and a few light drones). If bob had attempted to change their original setup to MAYBE break the tank (something mc didnt achieve either, nearly isnt done you know) they would have thrown all eggs in one basket if ASCN surprised with last minute changes. By sticking to their already proven team and adding a hugin (with 1-2 webs not 5 so any claims "all ascn was webbed" is bollox) they setup for various scenarios. BoBs dps "nearly" broke the tank on the eos at one point aswell thats as good as you can get against an enemy whos only aim is to "outlast" you.
As for "winning", the rules very preset and clear to anyone. Ascn knew and gladly accepted (by not even attempting to get close to bob) the outcome to be decided in the 1o1 (the penalty shooting of eve). If by your personal rules thats not enough its fine by me and i can respect that as your opinion, however in tourney terms bob won, period.

Sorry m8, but you know me. Never been one for subtlety, nor am i the most eloquent of people 
And i still say BOB were unable to beat ASCN. I dont recall the Eos ever being in real trouble during the final. If anyone came closest to "beating" them it was us, but we werent quite good enough
Again its just semantics (i think) when you say ASCN knew the outcome would be a 1v1 ceptor duel, but the point still stands that nobody was able to beat the ASCN team. Nor was anyone able to beat the BOB team. If you think a 1v1 ceptor duel should decide the outcome of such a tournament then fair enough to you. I however think its a bit crap.
If anything both teams should be awarded the first prize (mothership each) and the others devided, cept for the CNR each. If neither team can beat each other, but have beaten everyone before them, then are they not as good as each other? I dont see what relevance the 1v1 ceptor duel has in a 5v5 tournament

I think i enjoyed this tournament and hope we gave lots of people fun watching pretty explosions. Hindsight is 20/20 and so its easy to say now what people should and shouldn't of done, the point is its done and it was great fun for those watching and those participating. Maybe the rep cycles arn't to fun and maybe there is a place for a little EW, i'm not really sure it all needs to be thought about carefully away from kneejerk reactions. What could be interesting is allow more ships but insist on them being T1 varients allowing some interesting thoughts and combinations to be applied.
I guess we will find out over next christmas (when i have the proper skills i wanted this tournament)

From memory, they lost 2 ships in the group stage, with a total of 2 wins, 1 tie and 1 loss. In their first match they lost their Eris to CCK, and SMASH was able to destroy their tanked interceptor by dealing slightly more damage per rep cycle than it had armor. Every volley they destroyed all of it's armor and did a sliver of structure damage, only to have the armor repair to 100% a moment later.

I do agree with eyeliner that the 1v1 ceptor thing to decide such a big tournament was kind of stupid. I mean its like having just 1 penalty at the end of the world cup. Mess up just once and your out completely, not to mention the fact that inty fights are incredibly dull to watch and very fast. Its only cos the ASCN had a dorkish setup that it last any time at all.
They could have done something like best of 5 interceptor fights, allowing more for mistakes and a nice buildup of tension. I dont know, not asif ive put much thought into it, but next time there needs to be a better way of deciding IMO.
But that doesnt mean that BoB in someway didnt deserve to win it, they won the tournament how it was meant to be played fair and square.
I think they should also ban logistic drones for the next one, the tanking capabilities of each team made it soooo boring. As shown by the massive tanks of both ASCN/BoB in the final.

I was flying with the only team of the tourney (afaik) that had almost the exact same set up and tactics as BoB (not skills dont flame) so I understood perhaps a little better than the average player what it took for them to win.
We had Basilisk ctd (same as BoB ctd) against Fateweavers (a not maxed out opponent) and we were able to pull back and win the match. We then had again Basilisk ctd against a formidable opponent (5) and were creamed.
For BoB to hold with the same problem against a team like IAC ... all I can say is wow. BoB are as good as ... BoB. 
Gratz.

it realy _is_ an isk/skillpoint race
we in S-L know each other real life and organized a LAN for the tournament, but we did not have any chanse of winning any match becouse we only have low-grade crystal implants or no crystal implants, characters that are not having enough skillpoints and not got isk for t2 ships/ full t2 fitting.
well we participated in the tournament tough and did show up in each round and did not forfeited like many other alliances did wich also screws up the tournament.
tough it was a mistake to join we invested to much isk/time in it and the CNR will probitly barely make up for it, we will not join next year (like most alliances did this year) if it is organized the same as it is now

1 x MWD II 1 x Sensor Booster II 1 x Target Painter II
1 x Local Hull Nanofiber 1 x PDU II 1 x Cap Power Relay
I think top speed was ~ 8k/s Theoretical max range on the lights was just shy of 60km.
8k/s? I get 4.5k/s with the same setup. I guess that last level of acceleration control must make all the difference?

It isn't as large of a skillpoint race as you may think. I only have a total 16 million skill points, having joined the game a lot later than my friends. About 6 million of those skillpoints are industrial/mining/science related for my inner carebear. Most of the pilots in our squad were 24-35 million skillpoints. My skills are very specialized to a few ship types, so I can fly a sabre to near full potential.
Our side didn't spend too much money either. We bought a few low grade halos for the frig & destroyer pilots and some low grade talismans for the huggin and claymore pilots. We didn't even buy the full sets, as only 2 pilots in the entire group had cybernetics 5 :( I would hazard a rough guess and say that we spent less than 2.4 billion total on the alliance tournament. We had no problems raising that kind of money.
Although we weren't the most exciting team to watch, we got very far without expensive pirate implants and without throwing tons of money into the tournament. We all had tons of fun, which is the goal here. I'm sure lots of people got their jollies from making fun of us as well. And I know the homeless man and the livestock in the cargo hold of my destroyer enjoyed the tournament. They survived the ship's destruction and are now the property of Morsus Mihi. :(
And if you think it's bad because of the pirate implants...
Just imagine the next tournament when we have combat boosters.
And congratulations BoB. I was rooting for the other side, simply because I wanted a different alliance to have a mothership, but victory is yours. |

Edited by: Drahcir Nasom on 24/07/2006 19:15:17 I don't PvP myself, but I watched the last 16, the quarters, the semis and the final in awe at the skill of not just BoB and ASCN but a lot of the other teams in this tournament. Congratulations to BoB and commiserations to ASCN who put up an excellent fight.
I doubt it will get me into PvP, but I was absolutely amazed at the things some of the participants managed to get ships to do, things I didn't even know were possible.
Thank you to all of the teams in the last 16 for an excellent afternoon/evening entertainment.

Just wanted to thank all the participants of the tournament for their effort creating the great entertainment we got.
Also - thanks to the EVE TV crew for broadcasting it.
Finally - gratz to BoB for winning it all - again.
Oh - and for next year, one change would be great imo... No more draw fights. If draw - every team will have to field 5 REGULAR cruisers of their own choise. Possibly with stock fittings (no named, no T2 stuff) to keep it "cheap" so noone can complain about it being too expensive. Don't think it's possible - or at least very hard - to manage to get a draw with such setups.
At least "force" the combattants to field 5 ships of some kind to decide the winner. Yggdrassil |

I had an idea for settling drawn combats like the final. Each team already has 5 ships on the battlefield, so how about best of 5 fights, BS v BS, BC v BC, Cruiser v Cruiser, Destroyer v Destroyer and Frigate v Frigate. Teams have to use the same ships as the main fight, but they get time to re-equip them for the 1 v 1s,

That would really penalize the use of logistics cruisers and such. BoB's Scimitar vs. any hac or recon in the tourney would lose, guaranteed, and yet was an important part of their team.
