It's not 2010 anymore, when the tournaments were starting, it's 2017, and the internet has become more powerful. Hundreds of people watched HellLighT's stream, which means the Heroes community has interest in such games.
Other than that, well done, it was an excellent tournament.
A good point, but there are some issues. First, there is the matter of the players' own desire to stream; you can't force everyone. Second, you need a good and stable internet connection so nothing drops and there is the possibility for a quality stream. You also need devices that meet the requirements for a quality stream.
Since there really were many viewers and interested people, which is good, it makes sense to increase the visibility of this tournament.
Accordingly, if you plan it out properly and prepare before the start of the tournament, it could turn out really great.
For example, there are two people (one person can't handle it if there are several central matches in the first round) who go to the championship with the goal of streaming. Their task is to set up the streams and provide interesting commentary, conduct interviews, analysis, and a whole bunch of other things in general; this goes into the planning section. It would also be good if these are well-known, knowledgeable players who, for some reason, are not playing in this particular championship or have ended their careers.
:) The organizers need to provide that internet connection, no matter the cost or effort. There's also the matter of a relay from the players, to somehow set up a quality retransmission.
IMHO, the outcome will be excellent visibility, great streams, a lot of positivity, and donations (to motivate streamers). In general, that's about it; if the organizers and streamers have the desire, the rest is a done deal.
P.S. Congratulations to all the finalists on their victory!
The Pole is a really cool guy overall. At 19 years old, he didn't get scared after all the incidents on HeroesWorld with Cobra and Lizard (and he even killed him in Heroes, he's an artist; if he had gone a bit further, he would have punished him even more and another fellow too - put everything in its place, Polish revenge for the last championship :smile54: ). He came to another country, didn't notice anyone until the final, and if there were a bit more prize money, who knows how much chaos he would have caused. These are Heroes after all, in short, a red-blooded champion!
