yeah I think i like the new format better. feels less like an off kilter format and more like a serious competitive event. multiple factions just throws things off in general, even though i think the effect was exaggerated by the people who didn't like the format. having the finals at a different point level seems cool and still not throwing the game off for high level play. I'm likely to play the same 3 list set in that as i do in masters, then have to figure out what to take at 75 points if by some miracle i hit top 4
