Ive got a question about the joining in those matches cause they will be avaible to public. What happends if randoms just take up all slots for a team? Will not elligable players be kicked from the warbarge?

Is there going to be ISK and salvage in the matches?

Salvage, yes

Isk, no

Clarification please Tech or Logi.

The CSL website says 8v8 cup, but Logi's original post says you may field 6 at any one time.

Which is it? 8v8 or 6v6?

Cheers.

You may all notice that the site has placed the cups on the "8on8" URL and also added "8on8" to the cup names, this is due to the 6on6 navnode not behaving itself and i advise you to ignore any references to "8on8" or "8v8", this cup is still 6 vs 6

Eh, so if playing 5 rounds, dying on average 10 times each match in a 200k suit means you will spend about 10 million ISK on the tourney. The winner gets 15 million ISK, which would only mean a 5 million ISK reward as you spent the other 10 on the tourney.

What salvage system will be used though? The system used in pubs, or the one used in PC? If it's the system used in PC it might reduce the ISK loss in the matches a fair bit, but you'll still lose a good amount of ISK on the tourney.

Personally I couldn't care less about ISK, but to me it just isn't right that a tourney winner walks away with such a small amount.

About the prizes in general, I still think they're very lackluster and they're certainly not a reason for why I'm participating in the tourney. I know you guys keep saying that it's a small tourney and that there will be bigger tourneys with bigger prizes in the futture, but this is a tourney after all and I just feel that there should be prizes to follow a proper tourney.

Personally I think the rewards should be more like:
50 copies of 1 officer weapon of choice OR 15 copies of 3 officer weapons of choice.
50 or 100 million ISK.
30 Quafe suits (as it already is. I feel this one is probably fine, maybe an increase to 50 suits wouldn't hurt though).

These prizes would be more worthwhile and actually fitting for even a winner of a small tourney.

All of this is just my own opinion of course.

GÇó Each team may field 6 players at any one time

I can't find any clarification on this subject:

Is Eve support allowable in the Tourney?

As the matches are not PC or FW, Eve players will not be able to connect to the district

As we got bumped to the 2nd round at 20:00 UTC our team Tech Guard Alpha ( i assume ) will only start playing on Impact Ridge, correct? And as a sidenote, on the ESL website my first match shows as 21:00 (ESL is wrong?)

Shows 20:00 for me, is your site clock (top right) displaying GMT?

Just remember people if you see anyone using a Balac sniper rifle don't let them spot you. People think Thales are bad how many of you seen someone use a Balac sniper, to put it lightly u never see it coming, with Thales what do people do..... they body shot. Always wait for your opportunity no 700 Proto Logi or 1100 Proto heavy will save you since I think Balac sniper rifles have a 200 RPM but im not sure very few people have them I bet not even closed beta people have at least 1.

Looks like Oceania players get thrown under the bus again. Had our first match and my squad was lagging like it was an EU server. Rubber banding and the hit detection went out the window. Trying to compete like that is bullshit. I understand that an Oceania only tournament would have like 2 teams but if you're going to put us with Asia at least make it an Asian server.

All the Asia/Pacific matches are being run on the Asia servers. However some ISPs route packets to Asia via the US, so that might be why you have a higher ping.

That's what I expected but I get far less lag in Asia pubs and PC than I did in that match. When you put half a Duvolle clip into a guy that has not even 50 armour left and he takes no damage, kills you with 2 shots when you have full armour then takes your mate another half a Duvolle clip to kill 50 bloody armour something isn't right.

I'd like to see some more love from CCP for Oceania. Everyone already uses our server to test or go AFK on, forcing us to fight through lag on another server if we want a good game and I'm extremely disappointed we weren't provided a fair shot at an official tournament.

Regardless, I don't want to take away from Die Valkyrja's victory. Hats off and good luck to 'em.

Just won our second match against fat bastards but it appears there is a problem, match is still contested? Can you inform please, hate to go out on a technicality.

The finals where even worse with only 6vs6 the lag was the same as a PC battle all 12guys default server is asia too

M.H.N.W Did not receive salvage from our battle Onslaught 2. We Won.

Also G.A.C. may have forfeited to M.H.M.S by not meeting the 5 Min attendance time.
