[4.0] "The first round is a mixed bag, with only a handful of really enjoyable matches, but introducing some players that would become fixture for FIP, with a few enjoyable guests. The Quarter-Finals were also variable, from flavorless squash to brisk sprint to well-developed spotfest to overlong boring match. The Semi-Finals felt a bit off, since another pairing would have seemed more natural, but both match delivered on highlighting the positives creating compelling action and stories that sets up the Finals. Said Finals was very fun, as they had an intense brawl that really felt out of control, but still letting the crowd take it all in and building to the definitive crowning of FIP First Champion. The tournament had weird bracketing and some very uninspired matches along the way, but it did build to 4 credible semi-finalists having two substantial matches, setting up a dynamic and wild Finals that fueled FIP first few months. The tournament can be considered a modest success, conveniently setting up FIP's first marks and firmly establishing their intial direction."
