Hello everyone, I’m happy to announce that all the teams are in order, all the ships have been prepared and the Thunderdome is live for our contestants to battle it out for your viewing pleasure over the next few days!

It’s going to be a fun two days filled with explosions, and to get you ready for that, we’ve put together a final list of absolutely everything there is to know about this iteration of the Streamfleet Showdown Invitational.

Broadcast Schedule & Format

The tournament will be taking place on Saturday the 20th and 27th of April, both days of the event will be streamed live on https://www.twitch.tv/streamfleet, starting at 20:00 EVE time. We hope you’ll be there to join us live, but the recordings will also be put up on our Youtube channel for those who want to watch afterwards.

The format will be a GSL groups format, which means that every game apart from the initial 4 will have either elimination or progression to the next day on the line, as explained in this graphic;

Teams & Prizes

These are the 8 teams that will be fighting it out for the prizes that CCP has sponsored for the tournament;

First place: Apostle Lavacore Imperial SKIN and 500 PLEX per player.

Second place: Drekavac Metamateria Exotica SKIN and 200 PLEX per player

Third place: Hecate Caille Neon SKIN and 100 PLEX per player

Tune in on Day One to find out who progresses forwards for their chance for a slice of this prize pool, and on Day Two to find who walks home victorious!

Stream Details

In order to make sure it isn’t just the teams who can walk away with prizes out of this tournament, we’ll be running two competitions during the streams!

The first is our Twitch Clips competition - The commentary team will be reviewing the Twitch Clips made during each day of the tournament and selecting their favourite 5, the players who made which will each receive a set of +5 implants. From those 5 clips, 1 will be selected as the winner, and they will receive an additional 5 Large Skill Injectors.

The second is our general chat participation give-away! After each game, SKIN prizes are going to be handed out at random to everyone who’s been talking about the action, or cheering on their favorite team. There’s roughly 5 billion ISK of SKINs in the pool right now, so don’t miss out on your chance to bling out your favourite ship!

The stream will also feature an All-Star cast of AT and Streaming veterans, who’ll be on the desk and commentating matches in order to break down the action;
