77 teams signed up, but more may show up at the auction:


Edit from CCP Loxy: You do not need to have been in the random draw to take part in the auction, but if you have not been in the random draw you can only bid using your alliance executor.

[Daneel Trevize]

Why would you have been valid to try for the random draw, but not and go straight to the £££ auction?

v0v only a retard would do so

but it's in CCP's interest because more teams competing = higher auction prices = more PLEX being offloaded from the market = $$$

[Raze Zindonas]

I'm kinda surprised our Alliance got picked...Excited!

[Neoo Gabriel]

I was disappointed that my alliance that was made specifically to compete in ATX was not selected on the draw, and I am miffed precisely because many of the rich and large alliances didn't get selected in the draw, and I worry that the bidding for the remaining 32 slots will quickly outpace the small pool that we would be willing to spend. So last year the slots went for about 20Bil each, and I am not sure but maybe this is something we might be able to pay, but if the prices spiral out control to more than that then we will be left out.

Maybe next year they should ban all large alliances that consequentially are filthy rich from the random draw, so as to give smaller alliances a chance of participating, and have these large entities then bid their dozens of billions of isk to participate with their teams. PL or Goons or Solar for example have trillions of isk to burn in such things (and im sure private alliances of big players as well), but most of the smaller alliances cannot hope to have the funds to do such a thing.

Also, the devs said that there were only a total of 77 applicant alliances, so maybe the remaining 77-32=45 won't make it such a heated bidding war for the remaining 32 slots, even if 13 of the alliances won't make it (and unfortunately, the poorer ones, which may not mean the worst pilots).

Which brings me to my point:

If any large alliances here would like to use my corp and the alliance we created to force other alliances from participating by donating money we would appreciate it. If by any chance we manged to get prizes (which is a long shot), we could work out a deal of what percentage of the prizes the sponsor/s would get, which as of now i would think would be proportional to the % of isk that was donated for the auction price slot. Ie, If you donate 15bil and we spend a total of 30Bil for the slot, you would be entitled to 50% of the isk value of the payout (in bpcs or isk).

This is the link to our KB and to BC for our corp so you can peruse our stats:

If you were serious about the tournament you'd be prepared to get in it. We made it in on the random draw but we were prepared to go up to 60 plex to buy a spot if necessary (and it likely shouldn't be even half that much).

It's a pvp tournament, it comes once a year and if you are seriously interested you fundraise year round. Hell, an individual pilot can cost more than 6 billion isk in implants and fittings and that's for a regular ship.

[Lana Torrin]

So im going to assume this doesn't include the defending champs from last year.. Or are CCP banning PL and Genos this year?

A lot of teams were not selected in the random draw but will be bidding in the auction. Expect PL, Hydra, Outbreak, Darkside and many others to show up in the other half of the list.

[Sponk]

Should have run the auction first for extra :spaceship calitalism:

[Intigo]

Neoo, you can't bet on being drawn. You also can't make artificial limits on "you're too rich, you won't be in the draw, go bid in the auction" - did you just seriously suggest that?! You seem like a self-entitled bitch with a post like that, but perhaps you don't intend it to come off that way.

Good luck in the auctions, slots hopefully won't go over 20b, you should be fine if you have some ISK raised

[Duckslayer]

yo if anyone wwants a pro spaceship pilot in their ranks, ill pretend to be one. Can supply at max 20 million isk towards bidding fund

[Intigo]

I accidently +rep'd that retarded shit post, fml

please fuck off, Ducktrash.

[Smuggo]

Duckslayer is a cool bro and is offering to give all his isk to be in the tournament.

[filingo]

[Amantus]
