I don't think it's a spoiler to say the pace should slow down to something more like what you're used to after Koshien ends.

I do agree that this is ridiculously fast-paced for how big of a deal it's supposed to be, though. And the manga wasn't any different. We've covered 7 chapters in these three episodes, which iirc is on par with Act 1's pacing.
