Yeah, I'd like to know Pax. I have attended tournaments in 3rd-7th and some were different and some were similar ( 3rd was cutthroat, 4th was comped (played GW GT system), 5th was kinda boring and cutthroat, and 6th and 7th have been the best by far in regards to variability and dynamism) but I don't understand how ITC makes 7th like 5th. You say it is not the rules, but some vague mindset? Seriously, explain it, will ya?
