Big C, just use this as a learning experience. Basically, Omega and Wolverine became useless. Notice how little you used them? There's always something to be said for drafting who you know, but you also have to draft at or near the level that the tourney allows. Those two are so far out of their league here.
Other than that, you just need to elaborate on your plans. Nothing was fleshed-out as much as it should've been, offense or defense. And there were good ideas/scans, just not enough of them. Watch the tourney as it progresses and you'll get a better sense of what is expected in these things.
Blair doesn't need my commentary yet, he'll get it during later matches when he's more tested. Nice plan though.
Draft picks: This one is easy. Of Colossus's team the only one suited to this level of competition was Apocalypse, and he couldn't hope to pick up the slack for his team mates. Also Colossus gets more points taken away for missing the opportunity to make Horsemen out of Wolverine and OR
Blair had a solid team with great synergy that really made his plan come together.
Prep: Colossus had no prep. Blair's prep was cohesive and elegant.
Debating: Unfortunately there wasn't much debating going on, but in what little there was Blair had the upper hand. Still, this is one of the closer categories because of the aforementioned lack of in depth debating by both parties.
Supporting Evidence: This was the closest of the categories, Colossus actually did alright here. His major problem was that while he did an adequate job of providing evidence that Apocalypse could teleport, detect cloaked objects, and perform technopathy he failed to provide evidence that Apocalypse could do all these things at the same time while battling another technopath and escaping a black hole. That goes back to debating though.
Winner: Blair Wind.
Better luck next time Colossus.

OK I wanted to type up my own response as to who I thought the winner would be.
But Digi said exactly what I was going to say.
@ Colossus: The only thing I'd like to add is that there was so much more you could have done with prep as you could have.And once Blair had his strategy up you went on the offensive instead of a counter attack like mabye using Apoc's TP and his ability to find the cloaked ship to(if possible as I haven't really done any reasearch) launch his own black holes back at him. Then if there be any remains teleport wolverine into the battered and bruised team.
Just try to do more with prep and always try to find a counter.
As Digi told me "

It was in jest, but the actual advice is sound. There isn't room for weakness in tourneys, and you might as well let your opponent let you know where you fall short, never help him out.
