The Alliance Tournament is an annual event in EVE Online where 64 teams face off against each other in a strict tournament format dictated by CCP. It’s also accompanied by high definition video footage with commentary for every match in the tournament, which can make for great viewing even if you’re not an active EVE Online player.
So I’ve decided to compile a collection of the best matches each weekend, which started with last weekend’s first qualifier round. This weekend the second qualifiers were played, with the point total between both qualifiers determining who progresses on to the next round scheduled for June 19th and 20th. There’s been no word yet on who has made it through, but at least the matches are up on CCP’s YouTube channel.
The most flashy displays and crazy setups of this weekend are embedded below!
Second round of qualifiers – day 1
Negative Ten vs WE FORM VOLTRON
Awesome aggressive stealth bomber play!
THE SPACE P0LICE vs The G0dfathers
Sweet close-ranged dronefest.
The Wrong Alliance vs Electus Matari
An intense fight with ships dropping left and right.
Circle-Of-Two vs RED.OVERLORD
Probably the most expensive match you’ll see all tournament.
Arbeitaholics Anonymous vs Ivy League
Definitely the craziest match you’ll see all tournament. Want to see suicide smartbombing? Find it here!
Second round of qualifiers – day 2
Dystopia Alliance vs The Kadeshi

Very intense and close match that’s totally worth watching.

Bigger is not always better in EVE Online and this match perfectly demonstrates why that is so.
