[Jester's Trek] The Syndicate Syndicate
The Syndicate Syndicate
Over the weekend, I'm going to be stepping from being a sort of background player and occasional commentator for the Syndicate Competitive League to the role of main studio host. SCL, as you know if you've been reading my blog for any length of time, is a nearly completely player-run EVE Online PvP tournament. It features 12 teams competing in a New Eden Open format: each team may recruit players from anywhere in New Eden, putting ten ships on the field per match. The bracket is double elimination, with very frequent matches over the course of the day for each winning team. Matches for the SCL take place on Singularity, the goal of this being to eliminate ISK so much as is possible as a determining factor in the results.
Here's the match schedule if you'd like to take a look at it. We get rolling at 1740 EVE time on both Saturday and Sunday, and broadcast for about five hours or so, depending on how the matches go. Commentators this time are Elendar, Zao Amedues, Bacchanalian, and Apathetic Brent, and there should be a good variety of studio guests throughout both days.
Studio host is an entirely new role for me, and I'm frankly a little concerned about my ability to do a good job of it. Hopefully, this is just pre-performance jitters. But if you enjoy listening to me fall on my face for five hours straight, feel free to tune in. ;-) Or you can tune in for lots and lots of spaceship explosions, too. Those, at least, I can guarantee.
Hope you tune in!
