Brief preliminary results.
General questions.
When organizing the tournament, I imagined a circle of possible participants: these are my friends on the forum, my friends who play Heroes in Michurinsk, and possibly residents of nearby cities. Yes, the tournament falls on weekdays, but August is vacation time, and by law, at least 28 days of vacation are guaranteed; you can manage to go south and play in the tournament.
What happened. Approximately 50/50. Old friends from other cities who could come did, but there weren't as many good local Heroes players as I would have liked. A couple of people were stuck at work with reports, and one of them was almost fired on the day of the tournament, and no one came from nearby cities. I don't understand this when a Heroes gathering takes place near your home, and you're not interested.
Timing.
There weren't any particularly convenient days. New Year's holidays are not close, and in May there are CIS holidays. So there wasn't much difference; I planned the tournament around a rock festival and was somewhat surprised to learn that rock is no longer in fashion, that it's uninteresting to watch old people. That's what they said about Kostya Kinchev.)) Okay, next year, we'll hang out with Horn and his wife, Masha, at the festival first, and then the tournament will take place. Yes, in a year, in early August, the next Black Earth Tournament will be held.
What happened.
In principle, I was counting primarily on the fact that most of the players would be local players and players from nearby cities, for whom getting home would not be a problem. 4 days (Wednesday-Saturday) plus a reserve day on Sunday was enough to hold the tournament. But the worst-case scenario happened: in the final, a person who came from afar had a train to catch. According to any rules, a player who cannot continue playing receives a loss, and I always adhered to strict rules. However, as a judge, I decided that the finalists, Mizrael and Nevrotepichno, should finish the game online. This immediately raises the question: was it worth gathering people if it's cheaper to hold an online tournament, and there would be more participants? Especially since neither Mizrael nor Nevrotepichno have yet written when they will finish the final. Guys, no offense, I have a good attitude towards you; this is a question of your integrity. This is the only fly in the ointment at the very end, but overall, the tournament was good.
So, was it worth gathering? I think so. First, live communication, even in a small group, is always better than even the largest forum. Secondly, we had a good rest, visited the Zavod and Eridan clubs, the Ali-Baba summer cafe, and the pizzeria on Internatsionalnaya; the photos above are from there. Thirdly, local players, some of whom said that they could play as well as the streamers, found out that it's not that simple when you have to keep a lot of questions in mind during a game, make mistakes, hesitate, and rush, and in the end, lose. I hope that next time there will be more of our players at the tournament, and they will play better.
And lastly, the most important thing for me is that we collected money for the relatives of Yama-Dharma; today I'm sending Sasha and his family home, and tomorrow I'll send a transfer through the bank.
Many thanks to both Mishas, Mizrael and Cannabis, both Dimas, Nevrotepichno and Benis, both Sashas - Horn and Flesh, Sergey Napalm, Tyoma - Tyoma, Alexey Leha, Valery Veland for the fun, friendly atmosphere of the tournament.
Special thanks to the CIT team, who provided us with a convenient auditorium where no one interfered, and helped solve technical problems during the tournament; I hope our cooperation will continue.
Thank you all very much!!!
