Quintet rules have a real problem where stalemate is a legitimate path to victory. Even when stalling calls are enforced you will always have athletes doing the bare minimum. It was better the second night with the submission bounty, but only somewhat. I liked the first CJI format better.
I don't hate the Quintet, the old one's where one guy smokes an entire team (but people are game to leglocks now), but when push comes to shove BJJ is a Zero Sum Game, not a Team Sport, so I would think making CJI a premiere event means it should have run with traditional single man weight classes etc...

Judge Decisions

If five double eliminations occur, or any such instance where each team’s final athletes are double eliminated, the team with more individual wins by judges' decision wins.

If tied on scorecards, the team whose athlete won the final bout wins. If the final bout is a draw, the win goes to the team whose athlete last won a non-draw bout.

There is no open scoring, i.e. judges’ scorecards are not revealed after each individual bout. Scorecards are shown only if team duel goes to judges’ decision, and will be presented as aggregate tally of bouts scored (e.g. 50-45, 49-48, etc.).

The first thing that is said is that the team with the most individual wins, wins...

the second part, if tied on scorecards, doesn't say anything about accumulative team tie on scorecard relative to the first rule, nor does it make sense to supersede the prior rule, unless there were injuries making the competitor count even, given that individual matches themselves can never be scored as a tie.

So moneyberg is the goblin, Strickland is the bald one in the white shirt, and jake is the inset in the last picture?

What were the lies? Just that he paid people to say he was a good fighter? Or is strickland the goblin and that shirt is making fun of moneyberg?

boooh, if that cop had been a thin piece of wood, his head would have snapped in 2!

I looked at the webpage for uplevel martial arts. The only style I see mentioned by name is BJJ, so I don' know if this video proves what you think it proves.

Dorian, get's bitten during the match slaps the Khazikstani guy.

They end up resetting, Dorian finishes the match out, gets the Sub and hand raised.

After the match is over, Danaher, Dorian, Dorian's dad are walking out, something get's Dorian's attention, he jumps into the crowd, his dad supposedly tries to hit someone with a thermos, and get's dusted.

I don't know who started what with Gordon, but you see him beating up on one guy, while two others are on top of him, he get's taken down someone is punching him, he pulls his leg out from under him, while the guy is trying to straight armbar him, before they get pulled off.

All in all pretty entertaining.
