My god, 7 pages and it's only Dreamcast to mention this, of all people?!

Has no one here ever watched the EVE Alliance Tournaments? I think the term "e-sports" has people looking in entirely the wrong places.

I could even see the team compositions working the same way as EVE's. Outfit vs outfit, each one getting say, 1000pts to spend on team members. Imagine it working a bit like a Warhammer 40k fight, where each player chooses a troop or vehicle choice for a certain amount of points and then spends more points equipping it and themselves. That way the tournament can be better balanced year on year without affecting the main game.

Making it work that way also utilizes Planetside's unusual amount of roles and sidegrades, unlike most other "e-sports".

Edit: Obviously this would need it's own instanced area. Again, I imagine it working quite similar to EVE's Alliance Tournaments, with an SOE referee summoning players there. As to what the environment or objectives could be? Who knows? The possibilities are almost endless.

You're just repeating yourself. Link to the post/video/tweet/whatever that Smed or Higby said this in.
