Greetings once again combative Capsuleers
Before we get to the prizes, a bit of housekeeping. Signups for teams in Alliance Tournament XV are still ongoing and if you haven’t submitted your application yet, make sure you do so before 2017-05-23 23:59UTC. You can find the application form here.
We’ve also had a couple of common questions from teams entering:
If you have any other questions or difficulties signing up for the tournament, you can always file a support ticket under CCP Community Team to get in contact with us (just make sure to mention AT XV in the subject).
Alliance Tournament XV will be following the same prize structure as we introduced in AT XII and used in all Alliance Tournaments since then. However, with Alliance Tournament we complete the cycle of pirate factions (Angels, Guristas, Sansha, Blood Raiders, Serpentis) and as such may make more radical changes to the prize structure for future tournaments. But I’m pretty sure you’re more interested in the prizes for this year, so with further ado, here’s what you’re fighting for!
The Alliance Tournament Cup is an in-game inventory item of which only one copy may ever exist. Every year we edit the description of the item to reflect the complete list of former tournament winners and move the item to the possession of the most recent winners.
The Alliance Tournament Cup was given to The Tuskers Co. alliance in Alliance Tournament XIV, and after the conclusion of Alliance Tournament XV it will be taken from wherever it resides at that time and given to the AT XV champions.
In previous tournaments, we have given in-game Alliance Tournament Medal inventory items for the teams that places first, second and third in the tournament. The number of medals granted was the same number as the maximum pilots that could be fielded in that tournament. We will be continuing to do this for Alliance Tournament XV.
We will also be giving out medals to every character that was a member of the participating alliances on the first day of the tournament. These will appear on the character sheet, exactly like a medal awarded by a corporation. There will be medals for Tournament Competitor, Top 32, Top 16, Top 8, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. Each character will receive only the highest medal that their alliance earned.
Remember, the medals will only be granted to characters in a participating alliance on the first day of the tournament (July 29th).
As with previous Alliance Tournaments, we will be distributing the PLEX collected as entry fees as prizes in the tournament. If a very large number of PLEX are bid during the secret auction, the number of PLEX awarded may potentially increase.
This year, the PLEX will be awarded as follows:
Ever since the 7th Alliance Tournament, the main prizes each year have been a set of special edition frigates and cruisers, with unmatched combat prowess. Only 50 of each type of frigate or cruiser are given each tournament.
As with Alliance Tournament XII, this year we will be distributing the special edition prize ships to the top 4 teams, with each team receiving an equal number of cruisers and frigates.
This year, the ships on offer from the Independent Gaming Commission (IGC) are based on Serpentis ships. Skilled pilots are sure to be able to use the strengths of these ships to pin down and obliterate their enemies. The preliminary ship stats are as follows (and may be subject to change):
