Thank you for all the time you put into this and for the shoutout!
As someone who was somewhat skeptical of the winrate rule change, I think it added to the excitement overall and should stick around (yes, I'm aware it benefitted our team too).
Not sure if it was "best moment" worthy, but the most exciting match of the tournament as a spectator was @maxwellssilvrhammer 15.5 - 14.5 victory over @RKROUNIT in round 1. Very high level hyper atomic.

Thanks so much HowlinD! It was great and lots of fun!

I really enjoyed the final matches of each team match, once it is precisely known how much both players need to score to get the win. The Lesha vs. Maracker match was peak for that, everything was decided in the last 10 seconds of a single game.
I also liked the big upsets, or the fumbles, like in Rechesster vs. Maracker. Seeing strong games on the 3+2 board was also interesting, theory-wise.
Thanks to all the captains who facilitated things greatly.
The Challenger league took a lot of effort this year, which makes me think it's best to stick with 4 players in the future and stick with the most motivated and available. And so we may be a bit more selective next season for applications. Cheers!

@HowlinD how about adding 3/4 of a minute as a time control for season 3?

I don't think we should. It is not a popular time control, almost nobody plays that.
