It's sad most of those games looked like complete blowouts. Very few came down to just a few points. Losing by a point or two seems to be much more fun than winning by a blowout. Still good to see what's considered the "lower tiers" doing well.

Most of the ITC scoring is blowouts due to the nature of the scoring (8 for winning, 0 for nothing, even if you lost by one maelstrom point, etc).
I don't really think there's high and low tiers right now. Regionally, certain lists and armies to better than others but overall I think it's been pretty balanced.
