Two years ago, during Season 7, I added a channel on the NANWL TeamSpeak server to track all previous winners; there was an ugly gap where all seasons had a clear winner, but Season 5 did not. I spent actual days trying to figure out who the true winner was and even Cheeseypants and Windflower couldn't remember. The score keeping site for Season 5 is here:
http://bracketcloud.com/tournament/37421. With Cheesey and Windflower being uncertain, I used this bracket to determine that the 91st were the winners; it shows that they won the most rounds. Therefore, on that bracket it officially shows that the 91st is in 1st place. Keep in mind, there are no specifics of what happened in either of the Season 5 threads so I had never heard of any controversy. There is a distinct absence of anything to suggest the title was still in dispute.
In March 2017, PapaBean, who was an admin on the server, decided to change the channel to reflect a tie between the 91st and the 63e. Lawbringer noticed this and requested it be changed back to just the 91st. So once again, I looked into it. What I had found was that everything about the controversy up to that point was and still is rumor, hearsay and anecdotal accounts. Nothing is substantiated. At some point that week, PapaBean messaged me on Steam about Lawbringer's request. He told me that during Season 6, he did not declare a winner for Season 5 because it was not his job to. I agree, it wasn't. I am thoroughly confused as to why PapaBean and NickCole have now turned to the Season 9 mods and demanded they answer for the lack of action by the Season 5 mods.
