Congratulations to Louis (Axolotl author( for the tournament victory.
Unfortunately, Axolotl won't be participating in the next series unless a new version is released.

Thanks to everybody who took an interest in this tournament.
It was great to see so many of the engine authors visiting the broadcast.
