Season Four[]
Originally just hosted by van, but was overthrown as host by ska. ska eventually voluntarily gave back contest control to vankusss after ska's confidence was restored in van's ability to run the contest effectively; however, ska still retained a voice in which maps were selected, as well as the imagery and organisation for the finals draw, including the art selection for the players' flags. A total of 48 players completed, including two players who were eventually replaced due to unavailability.

Season Five[]
Host: ska
After about 4.5 years following the start of Blur 4, ska organized Blur 5. The competition had 23 individual competitors, which was half of the initial amount of entrants in Blur 4; but a lower number was to be expected, as the N community had been in a steady decline over the past few years. The competition—although only consisting of nine rounds, including finals—lasted for nearly nine months due to ska's busy schedule. However, the competition was eventually finished, with EddyMataGallos and macrohenry facing off against each other in the grand final in both contest modes.
