DUST Search - Tanker Tourny 1v1

Poncho Polous wrote:

I've always thought that one of my corps tankers who I've played with for ever, Lafayette Adair was one of the better tankers in the game.
However, I'm pretty sure that most corps think that of their #1 tankers too. There's even some self proclaimed tank legends such as Maximus Mobius.
With all of that in mind, I will be putting together a tournament bracket (collaborating with Silver Strike44 to record the 1v1's all the way through) for tankers to 1v1 their way up the ladder for the prospect of an ISK prize (minimum 50M-100M ISK, potentially more if there is enough interest to add an entry fee).
I have not yet thought out how I will structure the ISK of it, but I will subsidize a percentage of the prize from my own wallet, as well as possibly add a small ISK entry fee to be added to the pool, depending on if there's any interest from the tankers in here.
I will NOT be taking any percentage of anything to take for myself, all ISK transfers will be made public knowledge - this is purely for the entertainment value of some competitive fun, and to provide incentive to take part.

Layout will be a traditional 1v1 pyramid tournamet bracket using a tournament generator to decide who matches who.

Battles will take place in closed district matches including only the uploader, the participants and possibly myself allowed in the match.

If you have any interest, reply here or in game and I will add you to the list. Additionally, if you know of a tanker you would like to see fight, write their name here and I will add them in if I'm able to contact them.

Once I see if there is any interest in this, and how much there is, I will post up an official bracket with names, and begin recording and uploading the 1v1's.

Thank you.

Anyways, while you're not competing in a lighthearted tournament for ISK, I'll be following through on what is really just for the sake of having some fun outside of the same old structure offered by CCP.

"x" , it would be better a 2vs2 imo That's an interesting idea, and would probably make for far more entertaining footage at least. I'll get the input of the tankers involved when we go over what is expected/what restrictions need to be in place, and if they overwhelmingly agree with the notion than so be it, but I suspect it will probably play out easier for a first try at putting this together if we keep to 1v1's. The logistics of it gets harder the more faces are added, having to get 4 specific tankers to all meet up at the same time as well as get silver in there to record, and on top of that get someone to lock a district ahead of time on an appropriate timer.... I'm thinking that could turn into a mess. Titans of Phoenix > Director > WE DA BUUUUSSSS!

Since I hate your damn death machines on wheels with a passion and there may be a tournament in which dirty vehicles are destroyed I'd be glad to help sweeten the pot. If this event will in fact be recorded so that I may watch on youtube, I will throw in eh lets say 5 mil to the winner so they can purchase more things I wish were gang banged with remotes. While slow to anger and occasionally indecisive, they are also capable of harnessing enormous resolve when truly tested.

Lol, best comment so far. Incredibly surprising to see the contrast in reactions here VS the WR, I expected people in GD to be a little more open where as WR would be more trollish, and it's the exact opposite.

Thoughts? I think this would work a lot better in theory than in practice. Having to organize 12 tankers to be in a room together at once, have me there to ferry both teams in to two different corps, have silver online and available to record the battles.... Logistically speaking it sounds like a nightmare. A 2v2 deal I think is the most I'd be willing to set up myself, considering the time to message everyone and put it all together, and putting in the prize money myself to get nothing back - a little too crazy for my liking. I do appreciate the idea though. Titans of Phoenix > Director > WE DA BUUUUSSSS!
