This is a joke. I see cubs is trying to get them to change to 16v16... so we'll see.

Not sure if serious Lmao fail...I feel bad for anyone that will be in the tourney

Cyrius Li-Moody The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 495	Posted - 2013.07.30 23:20:00 - [4] - Quote Next week's tourney update: Knives only. 1v1. teams of 75. edit: After the fact, mine actually sounds entertaining.
The Infected One SyNergy Gaming EoN. 346	Posted - 2013.07.30 23:23:00 - [5] - Quote All for the ability to name a tiny planet (probably out in WH space where nobody will ever see it) and some really lame prizes that we don't even need (ISK) or want (MLT tanks) We can't even sell items yet... Fail.
Poplo Furuya Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 510	Posted - 2013.07.30 23:37:00 - [6] - Quote Wow. I thought the tournament was always a terrible idea in the first place but my expectations have been exceeded. Not only is the idea off, the execution may be so farcical and underwhelming and the carrot so misshapen and meagre that we may just surpass all previous CCP records for disappointment over an event. Hopefully there aren't many resources being pooled into this. Did they call in the MLG whatever tourney-guy just so they could point to an external influence in response to the inevitable misgivings with it? Set him up to take the fall? Ah, I doubt it. That might almost be a well-considered plan so it's unlikely to have been the Dust team's thought process. ...I need to take off the tinfoil hat sometimes, try and remember that not all workplaces deal in such chicanery.

SHANN da MAN D3LTA FORC3 Inver Brass 45	Posted - 2013.07.30 23:41:00 - [11] - Quote I think CCP changed it to 8v8 Domination because so few Corps signed up on the Urgent Fury website, and those that did had Very low member counts. 56 teams Registered on Urgent Fury and only 22 meet minimum Tournament size of 8 players

Cass Caul Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 16	Posted - 2013.07.30 23:46:00 - [14] - Quote This seems very dumb... Don't they, like, have someone that they talk to -regularly- that is know for running tournaments. Like, the reason he was given the opportunity was because of his community involvement in such things. Was this true? Must have just been a rumor. Too bad though. Probably could have gone well if they used a resource like that.

There is a easy solution to this seemingly complex problem. Don't enter it. There will be more in the future. Everyone acts like this is the end all be all tournament.

Sorry, I should have edited again for posterity, no one in DUST will ever see it. We entered the tournament hoping for some decent fights, that's it, now they have changed it into a lolfest. "Mountains"....what the actual **** UF, you can't figure out to ask the actual name of the map, so you jus call it mountains...even CCP can come up with something more original than that. Also, domination 8v8? Really?
ReGnYuM TeamPlayers EoN. 606	Posted - 2013.07.31 02:12:00 - [24] - Quote We have what four community reps? You're telling me that at least one of them can't be overseeing this or organizing one. Kain Spero was able to do it and he had better rewards

MlDDLE MANGEMENT lMPurity 248	Posted - 2013.07.31 04:14:00 - [34] - Quote According the UF website, CCP is setting the parameters for the tourney in regards to player size and mode. 8v8 domination in "mountains" (one assumes Manus peak) means a wide open objective from both MCC's but one side has higer ground to descend from making sniping a tactical vantage point. Beyond this all the imbalances of 8v8 on a large map begin to bleed through including tanks. I wont go into what a winning team comp will look like but i assure you heavies will be a rarity among them same with logi's really. With 8v8 on single point domination expect early and long held redlines. Those teams organized to **** to a redline strategy will have the 4 spawn points covered with TACs and Tanks. If you are trying to account for smaller teams at least be smart enough to go 12v12. That creates a bit more room for strategy and tactics.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 629	Posted - 2013.07.31 04:22:00 - [35] - Quote Steps to putting on tournament: Step 1: Host 15v15 tournament with out of game prizes in tactical game mode Step 2: Wait a few months Step 3: Have a community host an 8v8 tournament in tactical game mode, emphasize strikes from Eve Step 4: Wait nearly a year Step 5: Host an 8v8 tournament on a tactic-less game mode, give one really interesting prize Step 6: ???? Step 7: PRETEND TO HAVE A COMPETITIVE SCENE! I'm a staunch CCP fanboy, but man...this is perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever encountered.

At least the winners of the closed beta tourney got officer caldari assault suits that were pretty boss. Since we all know 3 rail tanks camping the objective in the redline will do just fine can't we just all agree the guy who wins is the one who gets their first or has the better side of the "mountain" map? 8 v 8? sigh

Assault players + tankers reign supreme!
