The event will see the Chinese ‘Serenity’ Server Champions, City of Angels alliance vs Alliance Tournament XII Champions representing the ‘Tranquility’ server, The Camel Empire in a best of five series to become crowned the overall Eve Online Champions of the Universe.
As per the rules;
Before midnight GMT on the evening of March 13th, each team must choose two of their opponent’s seven team setups to ban and communicate their ban choices to CCP. The two banned setups for each team will not be eligible to be flown by that team in the tournament. This will leave each team with a set of five team setups that will be prepared for them for use in the tournament.
So without further ado let look at the bans for each team;
♦ Widow, Scimitar, Keres, Flycatcher, Flycatcher
♦ Rook, Basilisk, Celestis, Caracal, Caracal
Banned City of Angel setups:
♦ Oneiros, Vigilant, Vigilant, Enyo, Enyo
♦ Scimitar, Gila, Gila, Worm, Worm
It is good thinking by The Camel Empire to ban the only two setups in the City of Angels that include logistic cruisers. This will make things very difficult for the City Of Angels, as they will have to face remote reps in all of the matches in some form or another. The Camel Empire may regret not banning out a dual Widow setup though.
City of Angels on the other hand seem to fear the ECM of the Rook setup and maybe the long range MJD and tank of the Widow, which with cruise missiles will be able to hit the entire tournament arena with pretty steady DPS.
Remember that once a team wins with a particular setup they are no longer allowed to use it again during the tournament.
You can find the remaining setup below;
