Well, after all the fire dies down, Warlords of the Deep has taken first with Thingy and WeHurt below them on the podium. It was a very shut-out last weekend, with no series being contested since the break on Saturday. Honestly not the most fun to watch; last weekend had some much closer matches, with the outcomes not necessarily foregone when the comps landed on the field.
I don't think WeHurt could have ever pushed past Warlords of the Deep, though it was good to hear during a between match interview with them that they attributed their unexpected success to practicing like madmen. That goes to show what one needs to do to leave a mark, but it's disappointing that no one seems able to challenge Warlords. Flying well is a necessary start, but few in Eve practice the tournament meta-game with their degree of competency. Until someone else can both dance in the mind and field good pilots, we're not going to see much shift in the handful of elite experienced teams that keep winning tournaments.
Still, congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated! The first two weekends were quite enjoyable, and I hope the next NEO sees some strong challengers!
