I explained to you that there would be no point in negotiating a draw. And what this system will be called is completely irrelevant.

Dima, regarding the BO-3 format, I don't disagree with you; I agree with you 100%. I don't understand why you're trying to explain something to me.
I was talking about the idea of a Swiss tournament with the determination of the top 17 players instead of the top 9; there can still be arranged draws.

For the future, here's an idea: the same nine rounds of the Swiss tournament.

The idea is great, but the meaning remains the same: instead of 9 contenders, we get 17 contenders, meaning that, for example, there will be a similar struggle for places 12 to 17 with the possibility of arranging a draw, only the level of the players will be slightly lower.

Maybe it makes sense to look in a different direction: increase the number of participants in the Final Battle? And during the season, not only give the winners of the main tournaments a free pass to the Final Battle. The same CIS champion, Redwaiht, should also play in the Final Battle, as well as the winners of OnlyHL and Lyubimchikov. I'm not even talking about comparing them to those who take the last qualifying places in the Open Final Battle. If you look at it from the perspective of a viewer and any other player on the Heroes Forum, it would be more interesting to watch games of strong players such as Amilu, Tvariny, Darka, Falcon, Hellight, and others, who popularize Heroes 3 with their games and streams. Maybe allocate separate qualifying places in the Final Battle for such players, similar to what YaR did in the first and second Synergy tournaments.
