gernerally games that have uneven maps or factions/teams, you play halves. Play as team 1 for round 1 then team 2 as round 2. It works, for shorter games but for this game, honestly I dont see how this game is going to be truly fair or competitive.

I realize that the actual game isn't going to be affected in any way but if anyone were to say that PS2 eSports is in any way indicative of what a Planetside game stands for, would be simply disingenuous.

The eSports version would be a completely different game. More akin to Dust 514 than Planetside in any way, shape or form that I can tell.

That is definitely true.
