As any veteran observers of the tournament will tell you, itÆs about more than just the fights. From political scandals through to insights into the minds of crew aboard the ships competing; here we take a closer look at those who shape the tournament and itÆs surrounding issues as much as the elite capsuleer class.

alliance tournament as a recruiting event?
The only thing I'm wondering about this is well not the only thing but...
It seems the Factions are recruiting now instead of just the corps agents to do thier dirty work?
Hmmmm...
What exactly is going on here? I mean I'd like to know why Factions need us pod pilots to do these particular missions and will Factions be asking for ALL of us pod pilots help in some missions in the future?

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.

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.

Quote: Hydra Alliance: | Raven | 2 Myrmidons | Hurricane | 2 Blackbirds Synchr0nicity: 5 Ishtars | 5 Griffins
The two Blackbirds from Synchronicity were primaried from the beginning by the Hydra team and were mauled under a withering swarm of drones. Synchronicity returned fire, trying to eliminate the Griffon ECM support of Hydra, but by the time they had eliminated them, they had lost their Hurricane, leaving them with only a Raven and a pair of Myrmidons. This handful of heavy ships could not hold out against the drone swarm and remote repair logistics strength of the five Hydra Ishtars, giving Hydra a strong win to start off the tourney.
So Hydra had the Ishtars and the other team had the Raven etc. correct?

Read up on some exciting matches featuring a raft of prominent names and some even bigger upsets coming from the lesser-known alliances.

ISD Tsuki, it was actually the other way around - Hydra fielded the 5 Ishtars and Griffins. Just thought i'd bring that to your attention. 
Really nice job so far btw, really like the short battle summaries.

A couple corrections in this paragraph..
Quote: Match 35: Pandemic Legion Vs Mercenary Coalition From there Pandemic were free to mop up all the remaining ships. They made a play for the totalhelldeath win; sending the Curse off to chase the Guardian as its teammates finished the Megathron (WAS A DOMINIX). With the Curse (THE GUARDIAN WAS IN DEEP ARMOUR)in deep armor, they almost grabbed it before time was called.
PS, Great coverage, a couple lttle errors shouldnt detract from a good effort by ISD

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.

"The stalemate resumed up until Blade shot themselves in the foot, with at least one Basilisk drifting outside the Arena and facing the wrath of game officials. Another Basilisk of theirs disappeared just as rapidly, suggesting it may have done the same. The majority of the rest of the team dropped quickly, with yet another ship leaving the arena. Proxay from Blade however, denied IAC their much-needed totalhelldeath victory with some evasive maneuvers in his Taranis."
the second basilisk was destroyed by the gank MOAs, very rapidly I might add

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.

In a shameless display of grabbing glory from the wreckages of the battlefield I'd like to point out that our second Guardian piloted by Yo****o Sanders was permajammed the entire fight. When my Guardian first dipped into half armor, I had been tanking the Deimii on my own with only my local medium armor repairer since the match started, all others being jammed.
You are correct that Tronys Dominix did save me in the end though.
Once against thanks for a stellar performance so far, ISD.
