Hello everyone.
I was checking out the updated bracket this morning and i noticed that for EU. Quarters finals are :
ZION TCD against SI and WTF vs Southern Legion.
Where initially it was supposed to be 1st vs 2nd of a same group.
Personnaly, i tend to like it better this way as it allows to play one more different team and it's way more common as a tourney mechanics than having quarters between members of a same original group. Now, i would have thought it would be :
First group A against Second group B etc... Thus => WTF vs ZION and SI vs southern.

This bracket makes more sense, its how a tournament should be organized. Overall I think that most teams will be happy about this change, except maybe ROFL House and KEQ. |

It only makes sense if southern legion and wtf were fighting for 3rd/4th place in EU group and SI/Zion were fighting for 1st/2nd. |

Exactly. Any tournament is supposed to give an advantage to 1st teams in round robin. Allowing them to face a supposedly weaker teams in quarter that finished "only" second in its group.
Still, it's at the moment way better than having "intra-group" quarter finals but could be way more logicial |

Because ROFL needs to go against the might of Imperfects!
And KEQ also needs to vs SyN!
And you're also not vsing your alliance corp who you're good mates with. |

Bro... he said that most teams would be happy about this except RofL House and KEQ...
So you think KEQ would have preferred fighting RofL House in a best of 3?
I am a bit confused by your reply to be honest. |

So what you're saying is that the HAV and Dropships that we're blowing up will belong to different people?
In seriousness tho this is a bit odd to me. I'm not quite following what method was used to decide the current set up.
In the end tho I suppose a match is a match is a match so we'll gear up to play just the same and let the chips fall where they may.
Cheers, Cross |

Will go where put, but I'm not a fan of rule changes with out warning. While in beta this is acceptable, but in future events such as this will look more professional if the guidelines laid out are followed.

interesting change we were gearing up to play our "final" weekend vs IMP
overall the change makes sense since in no tourney 2 teams from the same group face each other again in the 1st knockout round which in this case is the QFs but CCP should of known that.
overall we will play whoever and give 100% as always doesnt matter who we face we gonna give our best |

Cheers, Cross I hope you have more vehicle capability then WTF got. Cause with only AV you wont win the match, they tried it and failed.Anyway we are going to see each others on the weekend. And dont forget best of 3 and not just 1 match. Basically who first wins 2 times will proceed in the tournament. And i can grant you that SI is going to gear up massively. Expect to see proto gear and all kind of vehicles. Im excited for this a oponent that can put up a good fight. |

You ve got capability vehicules ? You have got goods Myron... Just what i see. Maybe Tyas Borg has a good HAV. And i repeat, if dropships are the way to win, we are working on. |

Dude give up you had 2-3 dropships that took off from your spawn point but they got instantly shot down. Oh and only having a dropship doesnt make you a good pilot. Like jenza i see her quite a good amount of times flying but she gets allways shotdown. Oh and beware of the frame rate issues you will get them and then you are dead. simple due to the fact when you freeze on your console your dropship is stuck in mid air and not moving. Good that i have better hardware then 99% off the players on this game. And i dont mean ingame items. |

The bracket change is a bit upsetting, I was planning my skillpoints around a November 9th match against the Imperfects not November 3rd :D It's exciting to be able to face the group favored to win earlier on, though. |

We all know that you "cheat" as far as possible !!!
But admit that it's not really a glorious way ... You're just using exploit, even if you're a good pilot (no doubt on this)
The good way as a Beta Tester, but no real glory on the battlefield.... |

"Now, i would have thought it would be :
First group A against Second group B etc..." I think because Zion and Sl came out on top of their respective groups, that's why they were paired together while WTF and SL were 2nd so we fight each other. |

Ah so we are back to the original bracket, which made less sense than this one. Idk between controversy over who got into the tournament, brackets that don't make sense, and now confusion over who is playing who, it just seems this was all very poorly done. Strange because CCP has been running the Alliance Tournament successfully for many years. I would think they knew how to do it by now.
And now I understand CCP had originally intended to do A1 vs B2 in the quarterfinals (which is a standard tournament setup), but a miscommunication resulted in the A1 vs A2 setup. If that was the intention I dont see why not just do it that way but whatever. |
