It’s that time of year again ladies and gentlemen.
CCP have just released what the prizes will be for this years winners along with some other changes.
Firstly the alliance tournament cup, which just like the ruler of the iron throne, there can only be one.
The alliance tournament cup functions as in game item that is given to the alliance or corporation that wins the tournament, having their name placed on the description and removing last years winners.
Alliance tournament medals
The alliance tournament medals will be given out as normal to the top 3 corporations or alliances that find themselves on the podium. However every single member of a competing alliance/corporation will receive a medal in their “character sheet”, this is only for members who are part of the alliance or corporation on August 16th.
New prize :
Alliance tournament edition Rattlesnake ship skin, this prize can be applied just like one of the already in game ship skins and will give the Rattlesnake the same visual styles as the Chameleon and Whiptail tournament prize ships.
Plex
Plex prizes will continue like previous years with the following winning Plex :
Teams that place between 17th and 32nd will receive 5 Plex
Teams that place from 1st-16th will receive 15 Plex
Alliance Tournament Prize Ships with a twist
This year, unlike recent years fourth up to first place will be receiving Alliance Tournament ships the Chameleon and the Whiptail.
The stats for these ships along with descriptions for them :
