It looks like round one is beyond salvage. Have you considered, as the organizer of the tourney, arbitrarily setting a time for each match the rest of the tournament? Set them now without knowing who fills the bracket to give the illusion of fairness and impartiality. It would also be nice for those of us who actually need a little heads up about when the heck we are expected to be here for a match.

Well that certainly stinks, would have been nice to know this on Sunday.

Hey Kain, this is the first time I'm seeing the brackets/times. I'll set some games up ASAP. Thanks for posting it and giving us some additional time.

Kain, do you still have Betamax in reserve in case one of these last few remaining corps can't get it together?

I ultimately hope that nobody gets cast off, unnecessarily.

However, I bet the boyz and girlz in Betamax would be ready to roll and they surely would add to the stiff competition that already exists in this tourny.

just askin'

Can i be in the tourney o.o?

Kain: I havent been on the forums much and missed the entire round robin events. Do you have the winner for the most kills in the RR stage? Was that the prize I was sponsoring?

I'm currently accepting applications for corporations that want to be wildcards.

................This ain't rocket science here, it's not like people were asked to try and figure out how to play Eve for crying out load.

I can practically guarantee he wasn't serious.

Finally we where able to get both teams lined up for the 843 vs. CK battle... it's at 7pm eastern tonight. I'll still be at work so I'm out... bummer. Good luck team mates!

Kain,

Pretty sure you know how to get a hold of me through any of my toons.

PFBHz patiently waiting for CK and 843 Winner



More importantly: If UA can get by OSG then they won't be able to dodge us anymore. IcyTiger has this nasty habit of asking for CBs in LFBattle and then randomly disappearing when we raise our hand...only to have him come back to life as soon as any other corp expresses interest.



Good Luck to all

congrats on the win bob

PS: Bob u still armor tank bro?? havent seen u in ageeeeeeeeeesss :(

i still use armor mainly. i have a shield tank for railgun sniping or if i'm not in the mood for armor tanking. i play fridays - sundays. but yes mainly armor tanking. getting my heavy skills up then going into proto tanks. :D. i like having options as infantry or tanking.

Again a request for this to be get a sticky. Also a reminder I need each CEO to mail KANE Spero a 3 to 5 sentence description of your corp for articles and descriptions on the betting site.

gg OSG

tbh, I think we have slightly better players, but you guys are a much better team. That's not to be demeaning in any way to your guys, honestly it's more of an insult to us and a compliment to you. Sometime in the future after we fix the problems we have with our teamwork, I want a rematch.

Anyway, go beat PFBH plz.

Thet there should receive the award for "Best Backhanded Compliment of the Year".

Seriously, you could give my mom lessons.

Looking forward to fighting again in the future, and hope that head corps like us can remain on friendly terms and keep drama spawned by over zealous players to a minimum

Indeed. Apologies for any post-match shenanigans on behalf of UA, I logged off to watch the 2nd half of the WVU basketball game directly after (hadn't had my fill of bitter disappointment yet ) and so I didn't catch whatever went on, but I heard it wasn't exactly an exchange of pleasantries.

The reason for throwing the tourney was to bring attention to Dust especially from the Eve side of things and promote the game and to create some excitement and focus within the Dust community.

http://community.eveonline.com/news/newsFromEve.asp?newsTitle=dust-514-eve-bombardment-tournament-round-2-this-weekend

Right now we are in a holding pattern WAITING for Faction Warfare to be improved and Nullsec to be established. A lot of people are having build fatigue and looking for something to do. If the tourney helps create drive for people playing the game then there you go.

I guess the real question is WHY NOT arrange a tournament. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what the community can do by working together. If certain organizations want to remain outside of participating in the community that's fine. Multiple people have approached me wanting to do their own events once this tournament has concluded and that's awesome. I've purchased the domain NewEdenSports.com and will be looking to have the community come together so that more events like this will be possible.

The community has sponsored over $100 worth of prizes for the event and that doesn't event touch on what CCP has sponsored as well.

Eve has really turned some eyes onto this game because of the tourney and I have something special planed for this weekend to really tie things together with the Tourney and the OB Events. As it stands the total betting pools for the tournament has surpassed 3 Billion ISK. The ISK grand prize for the Closed Beta Tournament run by CCP was 250 Million ISK.

You can choose to sit on the sidelines and wait for life to happen or you can get off the bench, get in the thick of it, and do everything in your power to improve the situation and create excitement where it may be lacking. I 'm happy that over 2,000 Mercs across over a dozen corporations have decided to participate in this tournament. They have put in tons of time to get their teams together, work on scheduling matches, and go the extra mile by placing videos out there to show people competitive play in Dust. I'm just glad that they have allowed me to help things along, because it's the Mercs on they ground and the community that is responsible for the true success of this event not me.

First off, I would like to thank Kain/Kane Spero for getting this tourney going

a lot of good corps sat this tourney out (IMP, IE, KEQ, SI, and RND just to name a few) hopefully in future tournaments we can get more participation

And lets face it this player driven event was put together better then CCP's tournament

It wasn't any sort of shot at your corp, not every player is going to be of equal skill level, and I personally feel that overall, UA has better individual talent in the ranks. As you guys proved, individual talent doesn't mean a whole lot in a team-oriented objectives-based match, does it? I didn't at any point say OSG players are bad. I didn't even imply it, and it's certainly not what I was thinking when I made the post, so I hope that you guys don't think that's what I meant. But if that's how you want to interpret it, that's on you.

I'm just sad I can't record a Omniscient Overhead View (spectator watching map with all icons always visible) because that would be awesome to have alongside the soldier's view videos we currently have.

Why have a tourny when so many things are broken? Victory wont tase as sweet

The team with the better railgun tank will win. Fact. And meh boring.

well yes when rails + dmg mods > any other tank regardless of range it is indeed boring
its cod tank style, 1st shot wins

Mav,

Actually we did some testing last night that I think will prove interesting. Damage Mods stacking penalties appear to be working correctly.

So much fun!

Only one thing left to do...

PFBHz vs. Imps

best two outta three?

Was a great match GG guys
