Circle-of-two have found themselves stripped of a few capital ships yesterday, when a POS bashing operation ended up badly for them.
Elo Knight, the man who makes the most of the space for titles in character profiles, and also a mean FC behind a Loki-heavy fleet, lead Black Legion to an incontestable victory, with 125 kills and only 7 losses according to this battle report.
According to our sources, a cyno was eventually lit by RAZOR, who bridged in a Maelstrom fleet that did not manage to change the outcome of the battle. Curiously enough, most of the Maelstroms themselves managed to get away relatively unscathed (only one killed out of 38 fielded, including ex-CSM member Vuk Lau’s), but other subcapitals were not as lucky. Specially Logistics ships, none of which survived.
Circle-of-two ended up losing 12 capital ships, and Razor a Thanatos, for a grand total of 45 billion ISK destroyed.
Black Legion. lost 3 Heavy Interdictors, a couple of Hurricanes and a cyno-Magnate, with a total combined value of 1 billion.
Definitely not much room for interpretation.
There are reports of “we didn’t want those capitals anyway” and “well, we did have fun” in Circle-of-two’s Teamspeak, and definitely quite a lot of love for Elo Knight from his side.

Having flown in Elo's fleets (while now standing on the opposite side to BL) I have great respect to both BL and Elo.
Good fights, definitely.
Incidentally, I've also flown quite a lot with Co2 and I feel pity over how this awesome group deteriorated over the years. Their superior performance in AT7 earned them a lot of respect, which was then slowly lost: first they were humiliated in Impass and then they merged into the big blue blob of the North.
The last time I saw that previously great groups of pilots, they were line members of a horribly unorganized Drake army in Tribute. That group of true veteran soldiers were thrown into the idiot horde with the likes of Razor and FA. I can't imagine how those brave, skilled pilots felt as they pulled the heavy NC. boot from each others' serbian asses fight after fight.
o7 A salute to the memory of elite pvp.
Lol
This fight was probably guaranteed gigx quality ™ of co2…
You are so bitter in everything you write. Get some help humble_miner.
What happened to c02 anyway?
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
circle you crack me up
I can't help but wonder when the CFC's FC's will come to realize that alphafleet is a really bad counter to loki's/ahacs in general. Maybe a year or so?
And then either another year or another reimbursement of skillpoints to build up that new doctrine.
yeah as soon as they warped right on us at 0 i knew we we're screwed, but fighting BL is fun its only way too improve fighting someone as good as them
Alpha fleets single handedly ended ahac fleets so I really don't know WTF you are on about bro……..
Yeah, because Maelstroms track afterburning Zealots sooooo well, especially at 0.
they tend to do that when you're webbed by 20+ huginns yeah, but its more of a warpin game, the fleet which gets the best warp in and the enemy bubbled first wins
example if the mael fleet warps in on a 100 to the ahac fleet and manages to bubbles them there isnt much the ahac fleet can do at that point. on the other hand if the ahac fleet warps to 0 on the mael fleet the maels tend to die quiet quickly
An Ahac fleet can just kill tackle and leave the field to get another warp in. Alpha fleets can't say the same.
replacing is not the same as countering
CO2 has been shit for a long time now. I'm honestly surprised they haven't failscaded yet–maybe because they always mange to find a new master to latch on to.
Welcome back to the north Black Legion.
I hope they stay and help IRC, I want them both to just face rape RZR
what do you expect people don't join CFC cuz they have skills they do it because they are too lazy to try anymore.
C02 look how far you've fallen you useless NAP party pieces of shit
I can't wait to see the same thing happen to The INIT-Shit-tiv
I have lost respect for BL they seem to run away whenever a campaign seems to get difficult, that being based on goons invading tribute and N3 putting pressure on Solar… I could be just focusing on the negatives or looking at it the wrong way vOv
I don't really think that BL leaving NC. can be entirely blamed on them… given the drama with Vince & wicked princess
SOLAR is just terrible and I'm glad they realized that.
SOLAR stopped paying us that's why we left.
Besides it wasn't sOLAR that was the terrible one it was everyone else in that coalition.
Definitely would be nice to see more:
Organization on coms
Self-reliance on moving / fitting
Show up for op in advance instead of getting nabbed in the gate camp set up 15 mins before a well-published op time.
Oh, well. We'll fight with what we have.
It would be nice if they atleast knew they were terrible.
The first step is acceptance.
Ill be the first to admit that i'm horrible at pvp lol
the best part is that they think they are so awesome, PNG and the like were shit talking IRC while IRC was on comms helping PNG take a region that they would not get a part of, thinking they were awesome and IRC was shit.
PNG are actually one of the "better" alliances in that coalition, although I like IRC a lot more.
and they still are shit, intresting fact since BL left DRC the numbers gone from 200ish to not even 100ish
the fact of xmas and the fact that its one of the busy times of the year may have something too do with it
Being an ex-BL dude (RL got in the way of time I can dedicate to participation), I can assure you around Thanksgiving right before 'Because of Falcon' NC. used the same excuse in U.S. timezone. "It's Thanksgiving and our US pilots are gone… etc… etc…"
Elo doesn't win fights by himself, that's ridiculous. He does bring confidence, experience and a great attitude. This is why people flock to his fleets. He's fun to fly with… end of story.
I totally agree about Elo, dude is very fun to fly with.
Also to guys talking about Falcon…There was wrongs on both sides. In the End though it really was about a boiling point that Vince+Wick had going for 3+ years…..Alot of unresolved issues.
I like how Elo stuck by his guys, I like how Wick gets a new group to be with and I miss BL but in the end im glad they can kick ass elsewhere. I dont take pleasure fighting the guys, I bled with, I really liked BL guys.
Falcon was more complicated than most say, but it could have been resolved and TBH I [NCDOT] would have just swallowed my pride and apologized, wick would still have left as she has intense flings with dudes, but we could still be flying together.
I always enjoyed being in Elo's fleets. He's fun and when you're a noob to pvp, it's reassuring to have an experienced FC on your side.
It was unfortunate to see him go.
The Real issue with that coalition is SCDOT their arrogance blinds them to how fail they actually are if SCDOT was removed from any sort of leadership FC roles etc etc then that coalition may just effective how ever again SCDOT think that since they where is -A- they are awesome and are arrogant to a fault
Lol, who's going to take over from SCDOT?
lol idk but just about any alliance with a couple decent FC's and reasonable leadership could do a better job lol
So, nobody in that coalition could replace SCDOT?
there are other alliances that could get that coalition not to fail soo hard idk maybe solar could actually lead fleet instead of pointing and saying SCDOT go there welp ur fleet don't achive ur objective and make urselves look bad or -A- could lead the fleets idk man there are options
They speak Russian, how are they going to coordinate anyone?
And the majority of SOLAR pets hate -A-
SOLAR could of kept paying BL. to save them but i guess they are to stupid for that lol
To my knowledge it all started with a BL pilot that wanted didnt want to be blue to NCdot anyway by shooting Ncdot falcon and thus starting the drama between vince and wicked
in my opinion BL shouldve stayed for the right reasons instead of taking a shitty contract
A BL dude shot at a PL dude, who just happened to be an NC. alt. We don't shoot blues.
… So you have no idea what actually happened. Please allow me to educate you on the specific situation that occured, as well as a little bit of context to why we were there in the first place.
Context:
When we moved to venal for fights, we started fighting the CFC/nc.dot, or anyone we could find out around 0200 eve time every night. This was around when the CFC decided they were going to take Tenal, and then the Venal moons. As nc.dot wasn't an adequate target for us (they would dodge us in fleet fights, and their grunts didn't really make cash the way conventional 0.0 grunts do, so they were worthless in regards to random ganking) we were mostly hitting CFC aligned targets. Around this time we started getting friendly with some of the nc.dot guys from the few times they did engage us, and found them to be an ally of opportunity when fighting extremely large CFC fleets. Elo and Mfume worked out a deal to get paid fighting for them, and to hinder CFC's campaign in venal (which we were going to do anyways cause it generally leads to great fights.) This was when we started getting more buddy buddy with wicked and soho, and some promises were made by Elo that we'd help them out. Now BL sticks by their allies when promises are made. We don't try to go out of our way to fuck people who help us, even though we do have our fair amount of trolls. So when the mighty Eurocoward Vince made the NIP agreement, we kept doing our thing even though it meant getting screwed out of a lot of good fights. We were still very friendly with USTZ elements in nc.dot though, and wicked and soho had a bit of pull. When the CFC pointed themselves at NC.dot, we of course were going to help.
Because of Falcon:
Vince apparently had a falcon alt that was in PL. A little back story on this, NC.dot basically stayed blue with PL after the NC/DRF war because it meant that both sides could use their supers with relative impunity, and never really risk them. As such, NC.dot would rub PL's back a bit in ways that I don't really feel like explaining, and PL would reciprocate. Now BL is not blue to PL, and we've always had a love/love relationship with them (Love flying with jeffraiding, love making fun of shadoo/grath.) So when some of our members are doing random stuff in system, and a PL falcon comes uncloaked off the station, it's not surprising that our members would engage it. We have always been very clear that unless you have a specific understanding with us for an op or campaign, and you are not blue, you are fair game. The falcon alt starts throwing around threats, and NC.dot starts to defend it so our members start brawling, and the Falcon gets away. We then discover that the falcon alt is actually Vince, carrying a BPO (apparently he wanted to be like Oldma.) He starts threatening our leadership, and wicked steps up and tells him he needs to calm down. This is when Vince starts a coup. He withdraws all of NC.dots funds into a private wallet, then kicks roles from wicked who was the co-director and puts them back (into what is now for all purposes, a private wallet since no one else has roles to access it.) We decide that now with the ustz components of nc.dot that we actually liked being thrown to the curb, and our directorship being threatened by Vince, we'd take our leave as well. We didn't spread rumors about what happened, and we tried to stay relatively neutral about it. We just packed up our carriers and in 15 minutes, were home.
So let me summarize what happened. PL char(vince) went phsycho, came at muhadin, Vince executed a coup, so we took our shit and left. We were helping NC.dot because we wanted to, vince changed that. His actions had consequences.
You missed the part where Muhadin was told repeatedly whose alt is was prior to him shooting it. He didn't care.
I'm curious – what was the nature of the mutual back scratching?
I think you better check yourself, while this site is agianst the CFC and generally pro BL, don't think you can get away with anything negative concerning NCDOT. That is unacceptable at EVENEWS24.
some people just love shooting goons, I for one would have loved to have stayed in Venal or NPC Pure Blind
who uses Eve mon for killboards, this is so one sided to try and rally them, I would know because if they dont fight, its a victory "we scared them"-elo
if they fight "we stomped them, look at eve mon, " goons and friends have there own KB which they use, so yeah
You are actually mentally retarded, link your killboards if you want to try and prove that we didn't obliterate you
i didnt see any goons in the video. where did BL touch you to make you so mad?
Silent Knight, deadly Knight. While I dont know him too much, having fought with and against Elo has been awesome. Easily one of the best FC's ever to have played the game. Super cool dude too.BTW: Thanks for not blasting my Moros BTW when my guys turned off the SBU. Black Legion=best legion
Errrr D3 btw
Who?
b4 ur time m8
Must've been.
Well the biggest mistake wasnt from us(we did mistakes yes) but Razor failed at using hes alpha fleet,Most of the fight they have been on 10-20km from the lokis what is realy bad.
Yeah that was a horrendous warp in. Not only were the maels able to do absolutely nothing, but all their logis got slaughtered. They're lucky their maels got out for the most part.
Yea, Thats what happend when the titan make the bridge to the cyno for the carriers… everyone got raped due of hes mistake. Also need to admit 90% of the carrier pilots failed and jumped to Tenal instead of Venal ;O
its was like we jump i saw the erebus and thinked ohh sh-t doomsday incomming… Oh wait hes blue.. Oh we are in tenal… Damned…
this video is shit here's the real one
www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8s8aaPamH0
Your entire existence is shit
Pizza guys were baller as well……most fun I've had in a long time.
The unthinkables forever!!!!!!
And Razor tucked and ran, just like they always do.
RZR leaving with the BS fleet was a good call. They lost their t3 bc fleet, logis and tackle. if they would have stayed around RZR would have been replacing more ships from the SRP.
This story and killboard show a good win by Black Legion and yes they do have a good FC. Remember this, an FC is nothing without a good fleet. The killboard shows a list of Loki pilots with logi support, dictors and some other support. They are also the true heroes of this fight – the fleet. Well done
CO2 is still alive and, khm…. "sov holding" allinace ?
What a waste of space.
Ljubomorne dushe mogu da nam pushe
I agree. All jealous people can suck it.
Only an "epic win elite pvp alliance" can celebrate 45b loss.
And conveniently lie on your KB with only 3 dreads lost
Where are the other dreads? Where are the other carriers?
Nema vishe loki's ?
Papapopusi
haha wow.. Nice job BL and Elo. Proving time again they get it done
