 Originally by: kessah
Shame I cant have my Alliance Logo up there and ok'ed already 
Thankyou again for the lovely chat and send my reguards to miss Brown 
Greetings once again, kessah. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the interview. Clarity says she'll be watching your matches with interest.
If you have a logo available, by all means pass it on to us ([email protected]) and we'd love to make the appropriate changes. The same goes for any of you without one listed above, who would prefer something less generic.
Thanks to the rest of you for the feedback and support.
And fresh off the networks we have...
News from the Caldari State about a scientist claiming to have predicted the tournament outcome based on some rather interesting data.
We've also received reports of a huge booster haul being interdicted by Federation Customs, confirmed by Serpentis to be a delivery to an unknown team.
Also we have the next installment in the "Following The Crew" series; reporter Caleb Kang takes a look at the preparations being made.
Lastly, and admittedly my favorite as a Caldari, some coverage on the betting this time around!
Stay tuned for more updates as news breaks - no doubt there's plenty more news to come.

Kessah: We didnÆt receive any logos, as far as IÆm aware. You may want to re-send them. The address once again is [email protected]. If you want to cover your bases, you can also evemail me a link personally or use the GalNet submission page. Sorry about the trouble.
MotherMoon: Thanks for the suggestion; itÆs a good one and certainly worth consideration for next year. GalNet has its limitations, as poor DFox and Ramadas discovered. IÆd love to see such a thing too, so hopefully we can improve even further next year around and use something like that. IÆll make sure the idea is raised.
Ovek: WeÆd love to hear back from you. It seems things have been changing fast this year and news gets old very quickly. My suggestion would be that you use the links I provided to kessah above, this is probably the best way to get information to us quickly. When you have some time, send us any details you think important and weÆll have the article edited accordingly. IÆll be trying to get in touch with you for a proper interview regardless, but we may not both be around in-capsule at the same time.
As for how to enable pictures on GalNet, there is a small box labeled ôdisplay imagesö at the top left of your console, just under where you sign in. Check that and you should see everything. IÆd show a picture to illustrate where it can be found but that would be cruel, wouldnÆt it?
Two new installments in the competitor introductions series:
Miguel Ramirez sits down with UshraÆKhan executor Karn Mithralia and discusses their battles to come. Also included is a brief profile on KIA Alliance, whom UÆK will be facing in the initial matches.
Magnus Balteus takes a look at the Caldari loyalists of The Fourth District, as well as Syndicate residents Notoriety Alliance.
Stay tuned for more information. With the tournament less than a day away now, thereÆs more to come as Match Day Coverage begins.

Would help if the person designing the graphics in this thread understood the importance of contrast - white text on a light grey background makes it hard to read.
Alright, alright...I admit it. That useless ex-broker of mine bought a couple hundred mil shares in that Lai Dai "CyberOptical Repairs" IPO a few months back. You think CONCORD pay us well? A girl's gotta recoup her losses somehow and I'm not to keen on doing it the "Gallente" way...if you catch my drift.
I don't want those CONCORD bureaucrats giving me any more hassles so I'll have a word with our graphics team.
Tsuki lowers her voice. "Eventually..."

Odd, we fixed that mistake about the Guardian/Curse switch up around 20 minutes ago...are you quoting the live feeds that were posted earlier? In any case, you're right about the other mixup and changes have been made. We make the odd mistake when reporting live and it's helpful to have them pointed out to us, so thanks for doing so!

Many thanks, Loxy. Keep up the fantastic work at your end too, it's been some amazing TV so far, we're all looking forward to more!
The tournament comes to a pause, but things have been just as busy in the IC. More news and information for you:
Statistics have been added on two areas: Ships fielded (by class and faction) as well as a closer look at logistics ship usage and success rates. Check the forum (or the Match Day coverage section) to find it.
Caleb Kang has another look at how the crews aboard the tournament vessels fared and finds a mix of results.
Stay tuned for more news and updates as the tournament resumes. Once again we'll be bringing you live feeds and summaries of the matches if you can't make it to a nearby holo-terminal and want to stay on top of what happens, when it happens.

Thanks for the correction Tyrrax. I wasn't sure if it drifted out of the arena or was just obliterated so fast that it appeared that way. 
Yesterday was the big day of bets, it seems. With some hefty wagers made amongst the capsuleer class, and some more scandalous ones made by those in power amongst the empires.
In case you somehow missed it, there's a whopping fourteen billion ISK riding on the seventh match today, between IAC and Cosa Nostra. Triumvirate's Jovius Marginus and Tyrrax Thorrk have put seven billion each as wagers on the outcome of the match. You can catch up on all the drama here.
And the latest in factional news, brought to you by Mercury
Maleatu Shakor, one of the most visible political figures in the Republic, has come under fire for his endorsement of Ushra'Khan in this year's tournament.
Head of Vivation Marketing Ulien Sinclain, whose talent saw his corporation rise to be one of the premier advertising companies inside the Federation has stepped down following a massive financial loss brought about by his failed wager on the Mercenary Coalition.
In a bizarre turn of events, the revolutionaries of Star Fraction seemed to have earned the confidence of Touraj Miyan, a notable Amarrian holder in the Kor-Azor region. Much like Shakor, he has come under fire from his colleagues, although in this instance for wagering what is rumored to over ten billion ISK on Star Fraction's chances in the tournament this year.
Stay tuned today as we bring you live GalNet coverage of day four. If you can't make it to the EveTV holo-terminal, rest assured that we'll keep you updated on that and other news as it breaks.
