During two weekends in July 2006, a live streaming video production called Eve TV[39][40] covered the events of the 2nd Caldari Alliance Tournament. The tournament pitted three-man teams from the top alliances against each other. Eve TV provided live in-game footage of the battles along with expert commentary. Analysis of the teams and strategies, interviews with CCP staff and behind-the-scenes specials were also aired between battles. Eve TV was produced and hosted primarily by DJs[39] from Eve-Radio (a player-run streaming radio station) with resources provided by CCP. A total of 95 matches were scheduled, with the Band of Brothers[41] alliance emerging the winner on the final day.[42]
The first two weekends in December 2006 saw the 3rd Alliance tournament. This was once again broadcast via live streaming video by Eve TV[40] The tournament saw 40 Alliances[43] pitting five-man teams against each other. Once again, the Band of Brothers[41] alliance emerged as the winner. Of particular note in this tournament, was the fielding of an Imperial Apocalypse by the Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate. The ship was destroyed in the semi-finals of the tournament by the COW (Cult of War) team. A last minute attempt to arrange an 8 billion ISK ransom for the ship fell through.
The fourth Alliance tournament in September 2007 brought several exciting upsets, with Star Fraction defeating Band of Brothers in the second round, using only tech 1 cruisers, and a relative unknown, Hun Reloaded, sweeping both the semifinals and finals to win.[44]
The two weekends starting February 29, 2008 and March 7, 2008 saw the fifth Alliance Tournament.[45] Eve TV provided coverage via live streaming video.[46] During the six days a total of 40 teams competed in 95 matches. The last tournament's winner, HUN Reloaded, made its way into the quarter-finals where it lost to Ev0ke alliance who later became tournament champion after having won all of its eight matches.[45]
The sixth Alliance Tournament was held during three consecutive weekends starting January 24, 2009 and ending on February 8, 2009. A total of 64 teams took part in the qualifying rounds on opening weekend. While the final weekend was broadcast live via Eve TV, the qualifying rounds were broadcast through various Eve Online radio channels. A number of changes were made to the tournament rules compared to previous tournaments.[47] This was also the first tournament in which the newly formed Factional Militias were able to take part alongside traditional alliance teams.[48] In the final match R.U.R. went up against Pandemic Legion with Pandemic Legion emerging as the tournament winner.[49]
Alliance Tournament 7 took place in September 2009, with Pandemic Legion winning a second successive tournament, beating Circle of Two in the final.
Alliance Tournament 8 took place in June 2010, once again Pandemic Legion winning for the third time, beating HYDRA RELOADED
