Hey, we're looking for as much practice as we can cram in. We'll take you up on your offer.

Hey if you need some other corps to practice with, please contact me, Quickgloves or G-slick.

Good luck

The "official" rules Rules

Here is a link to the violation Official CCP Post

The problem comes in where they state that it is the first 16 teams. Then they make another post about them being full on the NA spots, including the reserve slots, and them needing more EU teams. Tritan Industries had already sent in their entry, now they aren't on the list because CCP changed the rules after the fact?

*edit* Basically I am asking what is the rule? What is in the sticky and on the actual website? Or a post that is buried back on page 3?

We'll tell both of you whether or not we got enough people to schedule one.

The point is that 8^8 corp battles on a huge ass map with 5 capture points is mentally ********. All the real corporations around here wanted in so we could really use teamwork and tactics with 16 players. The corp battle system is garbage right now, because the contracts dont have any real implications, and the 4 man squad 8 man battle is just ridiculous.

Yup, so STB and Trition will have to wait til then. Not the end of the world.

Guess I'll have to start rooting for you guys to win.

Guys, I deleted few posts that were proper flame-starters. Please behave and try to be as polite as possible.
Thank you

To be honest i just want to know why the corps that didnt make it, didnt make it. A simple "we are sorry but all the slots for the tournament have been filled" Or "Your application was not in the proper format please change x and y and resubmit your application" Something as simple as that would have solved a lot.

after reading most of this thread, I am beginning to wonder the same thing as everyone else in Tritan. I personally respect STB for the great teamwork and gun game. And i have faith in the fact that other teams would say such about Tritan. I was personally grinding SP the past two an a half weeks to try to do the best for my corp just in case I was on the roster for this tournament.

Having said that, it seems unfair to kick a corporation out of the tournament when said corporation had sent in the application in plenty of time. I know it had to be in time because our CEO had sent in the Application before i had even logged in to learn about the tournament....However im just being a broken record of everything that has been said.

But if the top tier teams didnt get in, that just means the REAL tournament will be taking place on the skirmish maps and the ambush maps. As sake stated, i would be more than happy to participate in practice corp battles for the teams that did make it into the tournament. Good luck to you.

Looks like someones jealouse they didn't get in to the TT, i bet if you did you wouldn't be posting this.. If we didn't get in i wouldn't mind seeing as it's a beta an all and i'm sure there will be other Tournaments that your corp can apply for. So suck it up.

P.S UMADBRO ?

What is your definition of top tier teams? Honestly this part is quite frustrating, if you want to argue that you think you sent in the tourney application before others and want timestamps etc. then argue that. But claiming that your corp is the best and that's why YOU should be in is just plain wrong. Especially when the rules were first come first served.

In Zion as a whole we don't have the best overall average, but we have players as good as any others just like other corps. I'm sure this is the case for many other corps too, so before you claim to be part of the elite wait until after you face the best of each.

The REAL tourney is going on everyday, you win some, you lose some and learn from it. Some top tier teams made it, and others did not. It will be fun playing against those in the tourney, and it will be fun playing against the others either in corp battles or in future tourneys.

I would guess that the teams chosen had less to do with being first, but more to do with matching US players to EU players. It seems the only logical reason for wanting so much information up front. I really wouldn't blame them for doing it that way, to be fair and keep things somewhat interesting for both sides.

That being said, this is only the first test. Unless it goes perfectly flawless (which is very unlikely) there will certainly be more. And if CCP are wise, they will choose different corps next time.

if your going to say "UMADBRO" go back to cod or grow up

Yeah, kind of easy to say that when you got in. Poor form DD.

So this is what happens when im gone.......

Chill out guys, and stop feeding the trolls.

I'm curious as to how your military background has anything to do with this, just as mine does not either. As far as to why I'm on the forums, you are right. I want the decision changed. I will say this though, I won't be in the tourny regardless of their decision. I have to work on the weekends, so already knew that I wouldn't be participating. I care because there is a $10,000 Eve tournament coming up and would hate to see them swoop in at last minute and feel they could change the rules at last minute there too and still have any sort of credibility left.

It's a shame STB are not in it

You need to get out the house more, it's just a game.

Mashing your keyboard in rage will not change a single thing other than making you look silly and allowing me to laugh at you.

"If you are a majority NA corp who believe you have enough members to compete on the EU battle server then feel free to update your existing application stating your ability to fight on EU soil."

So no violation -- just a warning that you'd risk fighting against the ping until you get to the finals.

Troll on.
