We are starting, but first a few important points:

1. I would like to draw the players' attention to the fact that registration for the tournament is not done by entering text, but via this button at the top of the page:

Specifically, there are no applications from:
J.0.K.E.R
Ashtray
RealShans
VovaOgo
Limar_Rikon
ksemiya

You need to register again; without correct registration, you cannot use the automatic report writing system.

2. Changes in the format:
- there will be no play-in round, only two people from each group will advance.
- in the playoffs, the Olympic system is changed to double elimination.

3. tarmo and WAYD have still not confirmed their participation. I am waiting for confirmation; it is still possible to join the tournament.
+ as already mentioned, there is a possibility that genie or kolianxxxxxx will be accepted into the tournament later.

Also, I strongly ask everyone to give notice if, for some reason, you are unable to complete all games of the group stage. Players who disappear may later be barred from other HotA Tournaments. Good luck to all!
