Greetings capsuleers and all manners of internet-based peoples!
DJ Auger and Eve Radio are proud to announce that the seventh series of the New Eden Combat League (formerly the Eve Radio Combat League) is about to begin! On January 6th, the NECL opens with UNRESTRICTED Rookie Ships at 0100 GMT (1/5 at 8pm EST) on www.eve-combat.com and www.eve-radio.com
So what is the New Eden Combat League?
The NECL is a 1-on-1 PVP championship that anyone can join. No entry fees. No commitments. No compromises. It is a 16-week league comprised of four rounds, one in each empire space with four-week rounds. Show up in the round’s system in the right ship and you are in! Simple as that! Battle through the bracket and come out on top to win ISK every week. Though no pilot needs to commit to the entire 16-week schedule, there are added incentives for those that come week after week and perform well on a consistent basis. Points are awarded for each kill, and the pilot with the most points at the end of each round wins the Round Pot, while the champion after all four rounds wins the grand prize of 1 Billion ISK and a PLEX!
Last series, we introduced extra bonuses for special events that can occur with each fight. This gives even the first-time fighter mid-season a great chance at substantial prizes.
UNDERDOG BONUS – Just getting started? Missed a few weeks? Down on your luck? If you are in 6th place or lower, and you land a kill on someone in the Top 5, you receive 3 POINTS for the kill! Land a kill on a Top 5 competitor to win the Week for a total of 5 POINTS on top of your other winnings!
ONSLAUGHT BONUS – If you have a knack for quick kills, this is the bonus for you. Get a kill in the first 60 seconds of a battle and receive an additional point!
KILLSTREAKS – No, they don’t make your ship more powerful, but they will be instrumental in securing your place in the standings. Win 5 battles in a row to activate this bonus. Every kill you land in a row after the fifth is worth two points, and rolls over week after week. This can help you pull away from the pack, but watch your back!
KINGSLAYER BONUS – Once a pilot activates his or her Killstreak, every kill they land thereafter adds a point to that pilot’s Kingslayer Bonus. If that pilot is killed, the pilot with the final blow gets the accumulated Kingslayer Bonus, which can lead to a MASSIVE jump in the standings!
So what sets us apart from past player-run fight clubs that have gone to the wayside? We have been doing these leagues for the last two years straight with no sign of slowing down. As mentioned earlier, we are going into our seventh series, including three series of the Eve Radio Free For All Cup Series and three series of the Eve Radio Combat League. We are dedicated to exciting, player driven content and delivering a top-notch, television-quality presentation for our broadcasts. Check out the Media page on www.eve-combat.com for examples of the overall look of the Combat league from the past six series.

The League relies on player donations and sponsorships to thrive. All donated isk and prizes to the character DJ Auger in-game goes to the Combat League.
