2. I flew in the Slicer match on the winning team's side. The opponent anticipated that we would bring ecm and fitted what was a hard counter to our setup. As somebody who flew on the other side said, they did not lose because of the setup but because of positioning/piloting. The understanding of the meta of both teams was equally strong (or they had intel from our practice), and our opponent next-leveled it. That leveled the playing field. Isn't part of the excitement of a tourney to understand the meta and know how to deal with it? They did. ya but dude you dont say, ok this tournament you can use only turrets for offensive module, and then not ban tracking disruptors.

besides this tournament didnt have to be resolved only by combat. one house could have said, ok you guys can fly only sigils and its not a fight, its a race, the only offensive mods allowed are scrams and webs. and put everybody together so they have to figure out who to web and scram to get ahead in the race.
maybe one house determined that the best way to pick their champion was to give them assets and see who could transport this here and there and play the market and make isk, the first team to hit a certain isk threshold would be the house champions.
pvp is cool and all. but there could have been alot more content.
