I hope I haven't mixed anything up; if I have, it's not a big deal – we can correct it.
I believe it's more accurate to say that the CIS tournaments were organized by the most active and strongest part of the Heroes community at the time, using the version that this leading part of the community considered the best at the moment. Historically, there wasn't a strict connection to the classic version – Shades of Darkness. In fact, there's a feeling that for the organizers of the first four CIS tournaments, this idea would have been more like a nightmare.
