Props to the people who organized the event. This format was much more interesting than the last.
Props to the people who brought us EVE TV. That just rocked. I couldn't believe the amount of time I spent watching "TV" relating to a game...but it definitely added something special to following the tournament that was not present for the previous tournament. Being able to just listen to commentary on EVE Radio wasn't that great. The telecast should be commended for how good it was for a first run. I didn't think that some of the "color commentators" that sat on the "couch" added much value and I felt they were a little too partisan for that forum, but whatever. It was easy enough to ignore them.
The whole Morsus Mihi "RP/LARP" thing was a little amusing...a very little. 
Props to the Morsus Mihi team for doing the alliance proud. We weren't the richest...the losses hurt...we didn't have everyone fitted with pirate implants, etc...but I think we got the most out of what we brought to the table. A bad break vs. IAC ended it all too quickly...heheh.
Mad props to BoB for yet again proving they are the best at what they do. Overcoming adversity at a crucial time and seemingly always having everything squared away and under control yet again is amazing. I thought you guys were done for when the scimitar dropped. Silly me.
A shout-out goes out to The SUdden Death Squad Alliance. I thought it was interesting that we have been fighting tooth and nail in Nalvula and also got pitted against each other in group play. Good fights in both arenas, guys.
Zero props for people who signed up but didn't show up. It was hard to believe that BoB was actually only fighting their third match when we got to the elimination rounds. Frankly, they probably would have spenaked everyone anyway, but they certainly should have had to work for it, in my view. I'm sure they would have preferred to blow more stuff up, too. Zero props for people who threw matches in the hope of getting better match ups later on...or for whatever reason they didn't give matches their all. Zero props to those "alliances" that didn't even bother (you know who you are and frankly, you sohuld be ashamed). Zero props for alliances that were created just for the tournament. You may have been skilled pilots, but the premise of your existance was bogus in my view.
All in all...an entertaining tournament. I'm looking forward to the next one...even if it does, in the end, always seem to just toss another mothership to BoB...lol.
