[Tournaments-HotA] Game of Thrones

Let me summarize the discussions in the team chat and in private messages. We have two possible solutions. 1. The Baratheon proposal: We cancel the tournament regulations and simplify everything. 5 matches. As described above by Lizard. The weak point: The Baratheon team has a player in the 5th slot, Frisha, with whom we had significant difficulties in the group stage. Therefore, assigning a player to play 3 matches against Frisha, plus another 3 games, is unacceptable. In other words, it's only acceptable if someone takes personal responsibility for it. For example, Vick could take on resolving all controversial situations and start doing so from tomorrow* (although I hope he declines). *and then provide post-traumatic psychological support to TT_HNK after the tournament. We propose a counter-offer: cancel the TT - Frisha match altogether. Simplify it to that extent, and we'll have 4 matches. 1. =Lizard= - LuckyF 2. Caliban - MikeM 4. Matador - Alfeyn 5. Shreks - TT_HNK Both MVPs from each team, who have outgrown their initial rankings during the tournament (MikeM and Shreks), will move up and play against the next higher ranking. Everyone will play with their usual heroes (Mike with the Bastard, Shreks with Alkin). 2 rankings will be eliminated. The only "affected" player is Frisha, but that's karma, and he deserves it. 2. The Arryn proposal: We do not cancel the tournament regulations. We do not invalidate any rankings. Both teams simply make replacements for the missing players. We have announced our replacements. If, in addition, the Baratheons choose (primarily for Shreks) to replace the 6th ranking with the 5th, and then immediately make a replacement downwards and play 6 games (3 each) against TT_HNK, there will be no problems. This solution is within the regulations. However, there is no reason for our team to completely eliminate our best ranking - 3. The Baratheons will either replace this ranking downwards, and someone (Matador, Frisha, or Shreks) will play 3 games against Mike on Lord Haart (good luck in advance). Or (I think this is what will happen), we will choose which ranking to replace for the opponent's missing third ranking. And we will choose either 1 (and Lucky and Lizard will play 6 games), or 2 (and Mike and Caliban will play 6 games), or 4 (and Alfeyn and Matador will play 6 games). The final will consist of 18 games. In this scenario, the TT_HNK - Frisha match will still be the weakest point in the final, and I think Vick should take control of it from the very beginning. These are the two directions in which we can develop the situation and make a decision. Personally, I like the idea of simplifying the most, the option with 12 games, minimal hassle, and each of these 12 games will be truly "worth its weight in gold". The most undisciplined player simply does not participate in the Final, and this could also be a lesson for everyone in the future. The second option is to strictly follow the original regulations with 18 games and replacements. The Baratheon option with 15 games is not appealing at all, because in this case, our team suffers the most - our best ranking is simply eliminated without compensation, and the most unstable (in fact) player from our team is chosen for 6 games, plus against the most undisciplined (in fact) player from the opponents. p.s. Debuffs in any scenario remain at Vick's discretion. They can be added when we decide on the main thing - the list of games.
