Hey guys, just a quick post to say that the ESL is indeed getting behind this tournament along with others in the future!
I will be working alongside Kane for this and currently i am in the process of getting the Dust514 game section up and running on CSL, our site dedicated for console games.
I try to operate an open doors policy as much as i can, the only reason that people like myself and Kane are here is for you guys, so your input is both welcome and valued.
You can get in touch with me via:
E-mail: [email protected] Skype: charlie.iddon
You could also get in touch with me on eve and dust, but compared to my email and skype i rarely check those for messages.

I am a huge fan eSports and everything it represents. However, you could not have picked a worse time to host a tournament. To many corps are focusing on building their Warchest for the upcoming PC. Corp battles are time consuming, but more importantly expensive.
Noted. But i see this as the perfect time as we have just enough time to do a tourney before the uprising patch comes and removes the corp battles feature :P

Hey guys! Getting some work on the dust514 section on CSL done today and the website techs need to do some back end work for me before the section is published and the tournament will be set up
In the meantime, to speed things up once the brackets are live, it would be sweet if the corps willing to participate start signing up to CSL and forming teams for their corps
Obviously the CEO needs to needs to be the captain of the team and the team name needs to be the same as the corp name, i am aware that some corps easily have hundreds or even thousands of members and getting them all to sign up would be a silly idea.
So for now if you guys get a minimum of 16 corp members into the respective corp team, I'll allow the entire corp and its members to play the matches even if they dont have a CSL account (or just have everyone signup and my superiors will be very happy :P)
Getting started guide: http://www.consoles.net/eu/staticpage/show/1936/
I've also set up a general forum for dust514, feel free to populate that as you guys see fit as long as it obeys the rules, ill check it every so often if you guys have questions.

Prizes are coming out of your and the community pocket again which is great, but other than taking a bit of the work load off your plate by setting up the bracket what is ESL offering towards this? They get promo in the Dust community, a foot in the door as far as our burgeoning competitive scene goes and 16 x however many corps enter in new members on their site.
I understand this is a 'long play' for you Kain, and I wish you well in these endeavours but surely ESL/CSL could step up with something if we as a community are to take their interest in us seriously.
A fair observation there cookie, you are correct that at this point in time besides hosting the brackets on the website and the twitter advertisement spam of dust that goes with it, ESL currently do not have any prizes to offer for dust.
The ESL is looking towards tournaments with prizes in the future of dust, most likely around release when tools are in place in-game to create matches easily, however instead of just appearing out of thin air down the line, it was my decision that communicating with the community as early on as possible is one of the best things that i could do at this stage in the game's life.
(totally not advertising for Gimble, but you should check out his Boots on the ground podcasts anyway :P) I will be on this weeks episode of boots on the ground, If i have permission from one of my superiors i will try as best i can to give an insight into what the future holds for ESL and dust.

Brackets and sign-ups are now live!
http://www.consoles.net/eu/dust514-ps3/8on8/corp/signup/
To make it much easier for you guys to get into the tournament, only the CEO of the corp is required to make a corp team.
I will work on the empty rules section today, but here is the general gist of the rules:
- Corps signing up must have the same corp name on the ESL team, including the corp tag is preferable
- Corps may only have a maximum of 50 members
- Corps must play their own matches, any use of ringers is prohibited
- At the end of every match, corps must submit photo (or video) evidence of the match results, clearly showing the players in the match, the corps of each team. I also require a photo or video of either the victory screen or the one just after it where you gain sp, isk and salvage.
- No item restrictions are in place, everything goes
- In the event of someone using aimbots or something that would provide an unfair advantage (that isnt just them using more expensive items in game) must be reported in a protest, sufficient evidence must be provided
The cup begins this saturday 13th of april at 20:00 CEST, corps have 4 days to play each round
Round 1 must be completed by Wednesday 17th Round 2 must be completed by Sunday 21st Round 3 must be completed by thursday 25th Round 4 must be completed by monday 29th The final rounds (battles for 3rd and 1st place) must be completed by friday the 3rd of may |

As long as you have one person in the team with a valid PSN account on his game accounts profile, you should be able to join.
you can add a gameaccount to your profile here: http://www.consoles.net/eu/dust514-ps3/add_gameaccount/ |

I've updated the news article with the updated schedule, starting today the teams have 1 week between each match
http://www.consoles.net/eu/dust514-ps3/news/218986/-UPDATE-Announcing-the-Chromosome-Cup-/

Round 1: Phantom Universe Task Force Vs. Militaires-Sans-Frontieres TeamPlayers Vs. Faabulous
Round 2 Match 1: Losers of round 1 play for third place Round 2 Match 2: Winners of round 1 play for first place |

Unfortunately the video does not show who was the pilot providing the support.
However, there are combat logs generated from the bombardment, logs are named with the date so they shouldnt be too hard to find.
If you can find the log and email the file to me so i can check it, then free plex for bubbles :D |

I don't mean to come across as a complete nub, but how am I to contact Kane via eve? Just a dust merc, so no eve account, unless Kane is the same player as the imperfect alias.
You can contact him by joining the "New Eden Sports" channel, or you can message Kane Spero, that is kane's eve toon
