Will the matches be available again on EvE Tv? And is there any possibility these matches will also be available on torrent?

Originally by: Kovid There is ALWAYS a chance to beat the favorite, the unbeatable. And if you are lucky enough, you can make a bit of eve history and have a smile on your face that will last a long time. You don't even need to win it to enjoy it.
This is exactly why we need the best teams to be competing.

Whilst I agree to some extent, mainly in the contect of the wider eve community, it really is their own damn fault for not paying attention, even vaguely, to what was going on and pre-announced.
Thousands of members in some of them and not one can notice days of signup time, nor the post days prior to that informing of when the signups would actually commence...

Only one person can sign the alliance up, executors aren't always online every single day ;P plus in the past people had more than 2 days to sign up, and the previous contenders had reserved spots.
More importantly, it makes the tournament worse for everyone, not just the teams that don't take part.
No potential for matches like SF vs BoB last time now, nobody gets to go up against Hun Reloaded and defeat the previos champions, where's the fun in david vs goliath if goliath is only a couple of inches taller than you ;O

"Best" is a difficult term to pin down in all honesty. Particularly when so much changes between one tournament and the next. ____________________ GM Sunshine > oops Neurotica > Hate to see a GM in your gang say 'oops'

Band of Brothers HUN Reloaded Cruel Intentions
all wanted to compete, Pandemic Legion is pretty much the only team in their weight-class that actually made it in (with possible exception of IAC ;D)
Then there's other notable teams that wanted to compete and whose absence detracts from the tournament.. Axiom Empire GoonSwarm Against ALL Authorities
I would've loved to see TRI fight AAA f.i. and I for one am highly curious as to whether GS has learned how to count since the last time

You haven't given anyone the chance to perform and make an impact. You might not get TRI to fight AAA even if they were in the tourney by nature of groupings and luck unless the final. And you haven't even given the other people a chance. Some of these names are not well known but are people who had to join an alliance to participate. Others are people who left one organization to form another but are still highly skilled. They just don't carry the tag that everyone knows about. It makes the list deceptive and quick to judge people say its a weak tourney.
I still laugh at the idea that unless it's two powerhouses fighting that it's worth nothing. And forgive me for using us as an example: but how many people didn't know who we are and when they found out we are RPers just LOLed at the idea of fighting BoB?
So give an unknown a chance to show what they can do before you torpedo all of them constantly. Afterall, just because they don't spam CAOD and you haven't seen them in your corner of the universe doesn't make them unkown or untalented.

I haven't torpedoed anyone, simple fact is you need Goliaths for a David to shine, and this tourney is missing most of the biggest ones.

The tournament hasn't started yet Tyrrax. They could yet buy in it. Or there are other ways. Go destroy someone's alliance real quick!

Come on guys, let's not go down that path again. There's already a nine page thread with this arguement in it, so let's not spread it over here too.
We all recognize that quite a big portion of the higher pedigree alliances aren't involved this time around, but if you look at the groupings of the teams, there really is some interesting matchups and room for some big upsets.

No they can't, HUN Reloaded has been declared as being first on the reserve list and they've stated they'll pay nothing for anyone to drop out, so unless #2 on that list is revealed and they fork up enough billions to make two teams fold...

I don't know what to believe. So I won't assume ANYTHING.
One dev saying CI is 1st reserve.
And GM Nova saying HUN Reloaded is 1st.
And I am not even sure if the list is first come first server basis. However if you think it can't happen. Let's say BoB wanted to get in. Or pick another big scary alliance. With all the little people supposedly in, what's to stop them from war deccing vulnerable alliances into submission? If this is a weak tourney surely it wouldn't be hard? Funny, think of it. To make it into the group of 40, you have to survive to get to the tourney.
It's an intertesting draw as it stands though.

At the time GM nova said that Cruel Intentions had replaced The Red Skull and were already in, hence not first reserves anymore
CI are now first reserves and HUN Reloaded second.

Its starting to be habbit for Mass to miss tournament when im absent( was in corporate lab in other continent behind too many physical and less physical walls ).
So go Tyrrax, Vile and IAC, and go Darpzie and Pandemic Legion and if they for some reason allow some of us from the reserve list, Like for example ...Mass and well, BoB
I argue if reserve comes to play, one of the reserve teams will win the pot, due to fact A) Tar is Ubik B) Kernal is out from hospital and from Wales C) Nicholas has learned to fly other than Crows D) Thebold is more hairy E) Amira might wake up and F) I am almost JediMasterLover
And if someone wants to have the new permute lists( as we not in but in reserve ), im glad to run them,as in addition to the old blade I now got hadoop cluster to use ;)

So who officially are the first reserves?
Wouldn't it be in true sandbox spirit to let the alliances in give up their berth to whomever they choose to? Waiting in line sounds so very CCCP.
That way all the major players can put their money where they're ego is and buy someone out, that or hunt them down and threaten eternal damnation.
What would the going price be on a seat anyways, 20B, 30?

I hope you guys gets in too because I can't wait to see what unbeatable set-ups TWD loses hilariously with.
edit: also Tyraxx AAA hasn't ever competed in a tournament as far as I know so I don't know why this one would be any different. ---
