o Balac's N-17 Sniper Rifle
o Balac's PCP-30 Scrambler Pistol

I'm guessing a team can't register for all time zones? Lol

So thats ABSOLUTELY no vehicles right? Because I guarantee some people are going to use dropships to take rooftops over the objectives, and support tickets are going to be filed all over the place to report it.

No vehicles allowed

Dropped hard - Would not play

Are we allowed to teabag?

Nothing in the rules against it. Mind you, a sniper watching you might just thank you for standing still.

Keep in mind the EULA/TOS is still in full force, anything that would be a no go under those is still no go.

/waiting for videos of the winners using vehicles while nothing is done

you guys don't hold up on your rules so im waiting for the tanks to come out.

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.

15 Officer weapons of choice, 30 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 15 mil ISK each

So if you were to win this prize tier, would you get each of those prizes? Or would you have to pick one of the three?

Every member would get different officer weapons if they chose so correct?

Also with regards to the Balacs Scrambler Pistol, did you mean Wolfmans?

Yes, everyone gets their own choice. But each member can only choose one type. (so they get 15x Balac's ARs, not 5 Balac's ARs and 10x Thale's Sniper)

And yes, it seems the list I pulled them from was lying to me - they are Wolfman's. I'll fix that.

Any likeliness that EVE-TV will be covering the tournament?

I doubt CCP has any graphically decent methodology for monitoring/recording DUST fights.

Hah on a 6v6 on a Dom? having a sniper wouldn't be smart.
Guesstimate for successful team- 3 uplink spamming caldari logis, speed hacker, 2 heavies.
Cores and fluxes goin off everywhere, with 24/7 scanning, ARs for open maps, mass drivers for CQB

Why no vehicles? Jist asking as they were advertised as an intrinsic part of this game. But this seems to be another slap in the face to us vehicle specilists.

Are the balacs MRN SMG S NEW?????

Haven't heard of any of those. Huh.

I don't suppose you could list the stats for the officer weapons (as they're not market-accessible in terms of look-up)?

Can you clarify this

GÇó 15 Officer weapons of choice, 30 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 15 mil ISK each
GÇó 10 Officer weapons of choice, 20 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 10 mil ISK each
GÇó 5 Officer weapons of choice, 10 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 5 mil ISK each


are you saying 5 Officer weapons of choice, 10 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 5 mil ISK each for the first round

10 Officer weapons of choice, 20 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 10 mil ISK each for semi finals

and 15 Officer weapons of choice, 30 Quafe Scout dropsuits, 15 mil ISK each for Finals


Also even more importantly Why only 32 squads.

There are thousands of players 32 squads is a really low number so many people will get left out

OKAY MATH TIME!.... lets see if you (or i) was paying attention....

ONLY 3 divs with 3 winners each 3x3=9 duh

9x6= 54....

SO TELL ME IF IM CORRECT....
there is ONLY 54 TOTAL people to recieve awards.....

i know that this is an a tourney not an event but with that kind of exclusiveness it needs to be better rewards, or like 20x more people able to get them. you guys are on the right track though.

Vehicles in a 6v6 would be way too strong. You'd end up with tanks/logi LAVs and whoever got up high with a dropship would be almost impossible to remove.

Vehicles are great in large formats, but this is aimed at small groups of people who would otherwise be left out of larger formats. There were a lot of teams who signed up for the UF tournament for the 24(?) hours that people thought it was 8v8, so there's obviously plenty of teams interested in taking part in tournaments this size. It's worth noting that if the squad cups prove popular, that the chances of more larger scale tournaments will go up.

Its just not right . Oh god we can have the vehicle specialists acctually veing competative or utalising team work. Jist not on.

Are the "Asia/Pacific" region battles going to run on the Asian or Oceania server?

http://gamingwithdaopa.ellatha.com/dust514/items/dropsuits/light/scout/list-4/

claims that there is both a quafe G-1 and a quafe gk.0 suit.
Please explicitly state which type for the reward. One would presume gk.0, but its always nice to see it stated clearly.

This particular cup is infantry themed for small teams, basically the opposite to the prime league which was 16v16

Just because this cup doesn't allow vehicles doesn't mean that there won't be a vehicle themed cup in the future.

Plainly thus event is simoly aimed at the 6v6 cod boy ar rambos. Of course a 6 man squad consisting of 1 llav +driver , 1 tank and 4 infantry would mash a 6 man ar squad. This so called cup is a sham anf a wast of any serious squaders time . It is simoly there to appease the elietist or leet lol ar scrubs that solely sprey and prey with thier aim bot.

I have removed several off-topic posts. Please remember this thread is only for queries related to the rules. General discussion about the tournament should be taking place in the announcement thread.

To answer two questions:
The dropsuits are Quafe gk.0 Scout suits. The rules have been amended to clarify this
The Asia/Pacific matches will be hosted in Asia.

Can I get a pacific time? please

Signup links are now live and will open 15 mins from this post and end on downtime, 24th of october (There are 3 links to the 3 cups, make sure you sign up to the correct one!)

You may notice that one of the requirements to be eligible to signup is having skype contact details, this can be added onto your profile by hovering over your name in the top left of your page and choosing edit profile. Having skype contacts for the team allows myself and Logibro to get in touch easily during the cup.

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

Does every member of the team regestier or can one person regestier them all?

The ESL site doesn't give the option for a region in NA. Need this updated.

Edit: When you register an account that is.

I think that's just for the site language, I might be wrong though.

i live in the GMT+2 timezone so what does the EU UCT timezone mean? is that just the normal GMT timezone?

UTC has no daylight savings time.

UTC is effectively equal to GMT (there's some differences, but for most practical purposes they're the same thing to people.)

Rosters/Team
GÇóPlayers may not join more than one team.
GÇóEach Team many only register in a single region.


how do I register my team?

so the time 19:00 - 21:00 UCT will mean 21:00-23:00 for me since im in GMT+2 right?

Ok his is going to sound realy dumb but I suck completely with time zones. What does I mean when you have a time with (utc)

For eg.

Amarican server has 19:00 (23:00 UTC)

I think 23:00 utc is 6pm eastern

what if we are trying to drop an orbital and we call in a lav by mistake and we recall the lav quickly without using it?

Can we drop players in and out if we see fit? I read in the rules that of a player gets droped another was allowed to get in if they were on the team.

...I'm going to say yes. so long as the people you use are all on the roster and you don't go over 6 people on your team at once, you can drop in and out.

What game type will we be playing? All I saw was "domination style maps" does this mean ambush or skirmish as well?

so that means we can use dropship to forge gun and sniper from towers but you said no vechiles are allowed. so which is it we can use them to drop off people or not?

Just to make sure, do you reg your gamesaccount with toon name or psn is?

Is there freindly fire?

OK, I'm a bit confused. What time are the North American times for the tourney in Central Time Zone.

I worked it out as 3pm, 4pm, and 5 pm on Saturday. Is this correct?

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.

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?

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.
