Togannash is involved here because, as has happened in my tournaments, a third party from the audience can act as a sponsor, thereby providing the tournament with a financial foundation, which often brings in veteran players and, consequently, adds to the tournament's prestige, interest, and, as a result, popularity. You can draw quite simple and logical conclusions if you think about it a little.

There is also another logic – I have 6 tournaments a year, and there won't be enough sponsors for all of them. A sponsor is generally a rare creature that appears randomly, not according to a schedule. If it appears, that's good. If not, I hold the tournament without it.

Specifically, in Mirrors-1, Togannash collected the prize fund from donations from viewers of his streams. Now he doesn't stream, and, according to rumors, he has financial problems, so it's pointless to contact him for prizes.

Another point – Mirrors-1 was held in the summer of 2015. I thought that in the summer of 2016, Toga would decide to repeat it; I even asked him about it, but he gave an evasive answer. I didn't interfere at the time, thinking that maybe he would decide later. But after 2 years, it became clear that no one was going to continue the tradition. And the "Mirrors" format is in demand by the public. Therefore, I decided to support the tradition myself.

I hope that this tournament will become an annual event and that I will not be the only one organizing it.
