EVE Online Alliance PvP Championships about to begin
CCP Games‘ EVE Online gets ready to blast off with its fourth annual Alliance Player vs. Player Championship even beginning August 31, 2007. What’s more, this year will have live coverage on EVE TV, with commentaries given out by experienced EVE Online players.
More than 40 teams will be participating in this major event and show off their piloting skills and tactical expertise against other players. Fans can watch the action online and support their favorite players as streaming videos will deliver the action to everyone from a studio near the CCP Games offices in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Eliminations will be made through an eight round-robin system, with the top two in each progressing up the bracket. Four single-elimination rounds will follow including the final. The final four alliances earn loyalty points, while the top three will receive medals, loyalty points and pilot bonuses.
LÃna Ingvarsdóttir, a producer at CCP Games, had this to say about the event:
The Alliance PVP Championship is a highly anticipated event for the EVE Online community as it is their Olympics in combat and gives new and smaller alliances a chance to earn respect, a very valuable commodity in EVE Online. The championship demonstrates everything that makes EVE what it is: extensive teamwork in preparation and execution, high-level strategy and planning and gut-wrenching PVP. With a new format and revised rules, the championship promises to be even more diverse and exciting than ever before.
