Why was August 2nd chosen as the starting date? Is it because of a holiday? And another question: where will the free accommodation be provided? Can you clarify.
No, the organizers simply chose a date that worked for everyone in terms of tournament participation, so there wouldn't be any conflicting commitments.
Regarding free accommodation, there's an apartment that has hosted many famous Heroes players, including Chaos, Dilvish, the current president of the esports federation, Horn, and Stinger.)
But it looks like it's already booked. There are good hotels; don't believe the rumors about holes and other problems. I personally inspected them; they are like family businesses, quite comfortable small hotels, and 1,000 rubles is a reasonable price.

I would love to come and support the traditions in the glorious science city for the third time, you know ;) and meet up with old friends... But I can't promise anything yet; options may appear closer to the date...
But I recommend everyone to visit! :)
P.S. I suggest dedicating the tournament to the memory of Vova...
I want to suggest to the guys who are organizing the championship with me and who also knew him that we honor Vova's memory with a Heroes tournament; he deserves it.
