The rules STILL state first 16. No where in there does it say ANYTHING about regions. They changed the rules after the fact.

You sound a little butthurt you didn't get in..

So what if I am? I know for a FACT that our app was sent in before the call for more EU teams was placed. Why is this hard for you to understand? Several teams (the post in question mentioned several on standby) were removed from contention in clear violation of the stated rules. This undermines the credibility of CCP for running a fair tournament, and with a $10,000 tournament on Eve getting ready to happen, their credibility matters immensely.

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?

Honestly you are only on the forums QQing about it in the hopes of CCP amending their decision, but wouldn't that be going against their rules also, and wouldn't that in turn allow for any corps that get removed because of it to also QQ about getting dropkicked out because of this.

Get over it and try and enjoy the game. This does not say anything about CCP's credibility just about your poor ability to receive bad news. I'm sorry you and your corp didn't get in, try again for the next tournament.

Its pretty easy to not care when your on that side of the fence eh? Don't be that guy. I'd say its completely fair to be requesting an explanation as well as to be upset, people have put a lot of time and thought into preparing for this tournament.

Honestly it has less to do with which side of the fence I'm on as my military background that tells me that's the way it is and get over it. Not trying to be rude on here just stating why he is on the forums, everyone knows he's just trying to get CCP to change their mind by building support on these forums.

If CCP does change their mind and mix everything up from what it is that will say more about CCP than if they just tell him and his corp to get over it and try next time. They are the devs and it's their decision to make, so let THEM make it.

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.

Dust is still in beta and CCP's Dust team is trying to develop the game as well as come up with interesting things to keep the testers interested.

In the military, when you're told to do something you just do it. Also I'll say again if that is your concern then take it up with CCP instead of posting up on the forums about how unfair it is to you and your corp. All you're doing there is trying to stir something up against CCP and there's really no point in that.

Don't know what branch you were in but in the Marines you are taught professionalism, and your post here is not professional.

Also the EVE tourney is completely seperate from this issue, Dust is still in beta and CCP's Dust team is trying to develop the game as well as come up with interesting things to keep the testers interested. On the EVE side they probably have a seperate team that is in place for events and ideas, so trying to relate the 2 really has no point either.

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

Professional? It's still a game mate. Saying a forum post asking for an explanation about a game tourney isn't professional is a bit... Let us not ask any questions because it is not professional.

You sound a little butthurt you didn't get in..

Again I will state, ask the question to CCP, don't whine about it on the forums. Never said don't ask questions.

Of course if this is your attempt at a troll or to discredit me then have fun with that.

Scurvy, who's forums are these? Yes, that's right CCPs. I'd imagine Tritan would like an answer just like STB would. Now shhh.

And for future reference, I have attempted to contact them via email and Twitter as well. The company has refused to respond in any way. This only serves to fuel the speculation that something is amiss

Tritan guys: this thread will get flamed for us asking why things worked out this way, and that's all we really want, is to find out why. Please don't fuel the fire and let's keep this directed at CCP. Thanks.

Nah, they left out STB. Seriously doubting the legitimacy of this tour.
"the final will be held 2 matches on EU server (that's what we'll tell you anyway) and 2 on the US (after you've played 2 there anyway)"
Leaving out corps who registered early, and have numbers is pretty bad. I'm fairly sure both STB&TI hit 25 players before some other corps.

There's going to be more tours.

CCP you have fked the dog on this....2 of the most lethal crops left out from a testers tournament?

afraid that it will be "unfair" to the others?

this is war! there is no "unfair"

fine, if you want to put a group of toddlers in a room to fight it out have fun

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.

Wow, that's taking it a bit too far. Besides toddler warfare is fun to watch.

At least until they get tired and take a nap.

CCP reserves final judgment in all cases regarding the rules.

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

The stance from our side is now that "We blame Bush".

Not Obama? He's the one in office lol

Kinda reminds me of a 'Jackass' stunt.

I'm upset about it too Hunt, but what can you do? There will be plenty tournaments to come, we will get in the next one. For now, Tritan will be posting cheap corp battle contracts so those that got in can do some training. So be looking for those contacts and good luck to those in the tourney.

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

Good luck

*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.

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.

It's a shame STB are not in it

"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.

love how you guys are just trying to avoid talking about this. Are you hiding something?

All Tritan Industries need to leave this thread alone. It sucks we didn't get in yeah but like some people said there will be others. Lets put this behind us and work on our skills for the next tournament.

Congratulations to those of you who made it in and better luck next time to those who didn't. Good luck everyone.

yah really, nothin besides that

Quick, you know it's possible the email servers failed and they actually never got it, right?

i think its funny that all these teams are raging over this... its not like you have a chance against the imperfects and G|C anyways lol. and stop crying and calling them ringers, just because you arent any good and cant beat them no need to cry. STB and all these other clans all got stomped out by 3C back in the day and now its gonna happen all over again. doesnt matter what our name is your still no competition.

It doesn't matter once the real game begins.
Blackops & halo4 will be where GC go. Imperfects without GC? Not scared. Good corp, but not the give up before you start that GC bring.
I'm still disappointed you merged with another clan and didn't just recruit some tankies :(

3, BUT, only because my roomate refuses to close the window and its cold as hell in here. Otherwise 1... maybe 2. ;)

Just so people know ^^^^ this person is actually in Imperfects and is using a alt, talk about being a coward lol..

HAHA no im not an alt my actual name is SUK_A_FACE i just dont play just yet lol waiting for this game to show me it deserves my specialties. Oh and dont worry if you dont know me yet if this game turns out any good im sure you will learn who I am very quickly.

oh and i just love trolling QQrs

Actually Suk_Face doesn't even play DUST and isn't in the imperfects he's from OG 3C who won the IGN tournament back on MAG.

Why is this tournament such big deal, even if a corp did win the tournament, no body probably would even remember this tournament. In the end, most players will judge a corp depending on how much planets they helped takeover and other things like that. Winning a tournament and still not owning any sectors when the game comes out wouldn't make a corp great.
