I don't know I sure hope so. I thought one the biggest letdowns of last year's tournament was the 5mans not being recorded.

Who the fuck cares about your scrublord definition of 'good' and 'bad' - it's a fucking competition, if you're good you move on, if you suck you die. Also the finale at AT9 blew donkey dong and this is an objective assessment.
Too true. The final was terrible.
HAHAHA this is fantastic, its been said a 100's of times already, but yeah joining one corp for 'easier logistics/practicing' probably wasn't the best move, most evidently now.
I don't know limits or boundaries, but others do..so I push em till I get what I desire
Yush, all matches are televised. They charged PLEX so they could have monies to stream every weekend.
It'll be free though right (free to watch that is)
yup
There's no such thing as a free lunch (the surcharge in question is CCP Sunset)
As if money for putting shit up on youtube / streaming is gonna be a major concern for CCP.

I'm rather enjoying watching DJ respond with what is essentially "u mad?" over and over.

Especially if by ISK he meant money. 1329 PLEX @ $17.50/PLEX = $23,257.50 generated for CCP to put towards the tournament. Hopefully the community sees the influence of those funds instead of Hilmar's wallet.
So the match-ups are out, it's pretty funny that TEST was matched up with godfathers and GSF is going to duke it out with brick squad.
I bolded the ones I assumed people here would be more interested in (based entirely on the alliances of active posters on kugu that I can remember)

Streaming of Alliance Tournament X and Commentary
I am GM Alvaldi/CCP Bro and I‘m going to tell you a bit about the Alliance Tournament stream this year. We are happy to announce that we are partnering up with own3D.tv to cater to all of your AT needs.

But we won‘t stop there. In our tireless effort to bring you entertainment in the form of spaceships shooting each other, we hope that through the partnership with own3D.tv that we here at CCP as well as you, the community, can create stories and events that make EVE such a great game, live in front of thousands of people!
If you have any questions then feel free to post them in the comments or on twitter @CCP_Bro
The former alliance tournaments will be broadcast as follows:

Stuart Saw, the Director of Content and Strategy for own3D.tv has these words for the players of EVE Online:
‘The opportunity to work with CCP for the Alliance Tournament has had everyone very excited. We've got a few EVE fans within our midst and we're all looking forward to seeing it played out in competition. own3D.tv is the best place for large HD video game streams, our scalable infrastructure and monetisation options house some of the biggest gaming streamers on the planet and we look forward to welcoming CCP & The EVE community to that club.’
Feedback from Alliance Tournament IX highlighted that players were unhappy that the qualifying rounds were not streamed so this year we are streaming every match. The first two weekends, which are the six man qualifying rounds, will be broadcast with commentary provided by kil2, Raivi, Michael Bolton III, Zastrow and Lazarus Telraven.
Prizes
So down to the nitty gritty of why everyone is here – the prizes. This year the tournament is sponsored by the Caldari State who has spared no expense in creating two extremely powerful and versatile ships in their class. These ships will be based on the Osprey and Merlin hulls.
The Osprey hull is Etana. The name is drawn from the same branch of mythology as the Gallente Ishtar and the AT8 Utu, and has a nice connotation with some ancient Caldari-Gallente history involving Caldari Prime. This variant, which is the first prize, is a pioneering logistics ship with the added capacity to fit a covert ops cloak along with some very powerful skill bonuses.
The Merlin hull is Cambion. The name comes from a half-demonic entity which ties in nicely in with the description of a crazy, fiery rocket brawler with mad overheating bonuses plus it's believed that the Merlin of wizard fame was either a cambion or descended from one.
Design on graphics and bonuses for both of these ships are ongoing and may be subject to change. CCP Soundwave and the Alliance Tournament team will bring you full details on the ships during the live broadcast.
That is all from us here on the Alliance Tournament team and we look forward to bringing you all the action from AT X in the coming weeks.

A cloaking logistics. Goddamn.
Anyway, Gorgon Empire are dudes to watch out for. No troll. I know it's all hipster and shit to say that DarkSide, PL, Hydra and 0utbreak are the only good teams, but the shit isn't true.

ROFL who made these brackets?
Someone with a good sense of humor
Their current CEO White Don is former CEO of Brotherhood. (executor corp of Death or Glory, a well known Curse entity in 2011) which used to be amazing at 5-6man guerilla style pvp.
Mex388 was CEO of Darkside for a short time in 2010, before leaving and forming his own corp/alliance to try out sov (remember Solipse.?). He is kinda controversial and his posting on eve-ru is not really to my liking, but he is for sure a capable roaming FC.
His corp was also a major force in Death or Glory.
Generally -GE- have a lot of very capable pvpers including some former DS members with varying levels of mediocre/improving corps also in there (former BSoD/former XIX).
Example of them dumpstering NC. bling nanofleet:

getting outplayed by us (nagas 2stronk)
http://kb.serpent.is/battle/b4408/
Also no idea why you guys think DarkSide will be particularly strong this year. We do put ~some~ effort in, but Creamster and Max (+ a lot of oldfags who participated last year) left for LoL and probably wont be coming back.
So as per @EVEonline twitter:
AT VI will broadcast at 12:00 UTC throughoutthe weekend at own3d.tv/CCPGames as we ramp up to AT X on June 30.#eveonline #tweetfleet
Any logi can cloak with the right module. NBD.

A few fleets here and there don't mean much in regards to the Alliance Tourney because with the right counter, scrubs can dumpster the pro's.
Just saying that they know about the game etc. so their theorycrafted setups probably wont be completely awful.
Most people have zero idea who is good and who isn't and just base it off of last year's performance.

Pretty sure everyone knows TEST is bad at the game (but good at winning our hearts :swoon: )
terrible at games and still killing elo's titan
~test 2012~
We ran into your nagas in our nados and got 360 noscope headshotted, nagas are sick as hell
Also it's very metagame of you to fit an EM hardener and no invuln, n1
Necro-ing this thread to say that neither Elo or myself will be participating in the alliance tourny this weekend do to it being the greatest holiday of the year - Canada Day. I shall be participating in another tournament - beerpong baseball instead. We have the second nicest person in Eve leading our team though which a bunch of mad micro Asians to support him, so I expect great things to come to pass.

So bet on you guys is what you're implying? I already threw 250 on PL beating Dystopia (Sorry Tyrrax)
200 quatloos on the newcomer
What is up with this terribru music!?!
The music isn't too awful, its the soundclips from Soundwave that makes me cry and die inside.
God damn why do they have to show Raivi and Laz in the bottom left corner? That furious switching between the cams is making me feel dizzy
I like the webcam feature tbh, mostly because I'm used to such video calls.
The music however, jesus, needs work.
Also, really glad I missed the betting window for RA <.<, who is R.E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.?
REVOLUTION are a russian lowsec alliance, living in Hysera (The Citadel) I believe.
They're not too terrible, somewhat decent even. And they're certainly a lot of fun to fight, as they seem to have a healthy dose of that russian give-no-fucks mentality.

Sup bitches
good job dumpstering some pubbies, nerd
Thanks for the cash m8 o7
I bet on the last two rounds, probably shouldn't have, as they were the only ones I lost. (No offense NC. but the odds were really nice against you so I did a small bet) Other than those rounds however I'm up around 400-500 mil at least
5 bets placed 4 won. Second last match cost me.
been trying to kill their supers for agees. or was it only for fun. cant recall, basicly its 2 different russian living in 1 system, both is usually alts of the more known russian alliances (I would assume since I ofteen see major russian alliance (red alliance, white noise ect) "main" chars down there camping with them now and them).
Both sides got supers, and both sides try to kill eacother towers, like constantly. you will find 1-2 dread loss a week down there. those supers are elusive as fuck...Ive lost count on how many times Ive tryed to bait and kill them. also seen them heard them survive backstab attempt in some fw brawls
If they are half as good with sub caps as they are at slipping away with supers they are p good.

Being good on TQ doesn't translate into being good in the tournament, so tournament experience is a far better indicator than who is good at Eve. It's an interesting dynamic that allows groups like Solar Fleet to take an absolute dogshit setup and fly it into the ground year after year, while having Dead Terrorists win convincingly.
True, I have raped history, but it has produced some beautiful offspring
This. It also surprises me when highsec residents like RvB roflstomp 0.0 entities like Get Off My Lawn (especially since RvB never uses logi in day-to-day fighting and most of their FCs are used to kitchen sink comps without support).
Most importantly RvB cant whine about the other side overshipping in the tournament, I guess thats why theyre good.
You only need 12 good dudes to do well after all. The rest of your alliance can be complete dogshit.
DT team is pretty much the same it was years ago, myself Larf, Joder etc. included, so while I doubt you'll see us in the finals we probably have more experience at playing ATs than most teams.
This is what I get for not believin'
NEVER NOT BET ON PL
