World Team Cup 2019! Discussion about organizing the second world championship.

Thoughts out loud:
1. The guy wants to host a world championship (the second one) for 50k and then brag about it to himself and everyone around him. That's a decent goal.
2. The guy found a content creator who will work hard, and that's a good investment because the content creator invests their own non-material resources much more seriously than the prize pool. That's a good process.
3. The content creator sees an opportunity to boost the rating of their content through this tournament – that's a good goal.
4. The attempt to revive the dying SoD looks either like an opportunity to promote the originality of their content under the guise of pleasing all the "federations" (by the way, did the Swedish team even know which version they were rejecting?) or as a way to bargain for perks from the HotA team. I would recommend the second option because the first one is just empty boasting, especially when trying to assemble the main team for HotA, where both HotA and at least HotA Rules are present.
5. The part about Syrian roots was funny. It's an attempt to force a connection when it's impossible to turn a post-Soviet championship into a world cup – that's a decent goal.
6. The desire to create something out of nothing, i.e., to hold a world cup even with a team of animals, is a decent goal. Tomorrow, there will be URLs on the internet, and no one will read all this rambling. Even though it looks funny (with the Swedes) and amusing in places, the person is trying, has a goal, and is working towards it, even if there are shortcomings in their competence.
7. Regarding the Swedes and their refusal. I'm just curious about the story of who rejected the Swedes? Maybe just delete that line or add another 150 countries?
8. And the key point. In my opinion, you should play the version that most of the worthy participants play or the version that the forum you're hosting the cup under uses. There's a list of leagues, okay, try hosting it there with those prize pools or their rules. I doubt it. Yes, a world cup on HotA won't work, but then the question remains: spectacle or URL.

1. If it's not a secret, when and to whom did I brag about this? Pride is a sin, after all. I think it's good content, but not a reason for pride. Moreover, I know this process from the inside, and even now, not everything is as smooth as it seems. How can you even be proud of some computer games if they have no relation to real life? And you don't need to treat my tournaments as something serious – they are show tournaments and, first of all, entertainment and fun for the audience. I'm not in a position to do anything really serious at the moment – that's a fact.
2. I don't quite understand.
3. Yes. We never chased after subscribers, donations, or earnings – and we still don't. I didn't have anything from hosting tournaments, and I still don't (except for rare donations, which I can then use to pay for the internet). I'm curious, why do I continue to spend my time, spend money, and get stressed about it?
4. I've said many times why I love SoD, and I don't see the point in repeating it. You can take it as you like. The game version is a matter of taste.
5. It's always funny if you don't delve into it and don't get interested.
6. Out of nothing? Maybe. But I wouldn't even say that it's close to being a "bullet" – I've written many times about the limited possibilities. I do what I can, and I don't claim to do more. For me, it's fun, interesting content for me personally and for the audience (who have gathered), and an opportunity to get together again with those for whom SoD is not an empty word.
7. If you have any doubts about any question, you can always ask me for proof. Yar's father is Korean – his last name is Ligai (if you need more proof, just say so), and the second guy's whole family is also Korean, but they currently live in Russia (need more proof, just say so). Have I ever not answered someone? And I'll show you the correspondence with the guy from Sweden (he's Russian-speaking, by the way, but he's been married and living there for a long time) about the roots of the participants and anything else. The main thing is dialogue, not empty talk. I've had failures, and I will have them again – I'm not afraid of them. It's not the end of the world, but just attempts to do something interesting. I try to solve problems – how well I do it is up to you to judge.
8. I will partially agree with you, of course. And if I were chasing popularity, donations, and support, I would have done everything on HotA. I originally played Wog, then switched to SoD, and I also tried different versions in parallel (including HotA). I can't force myself to play it. I see that many people like it – but I don't.

I never had the goal of offending or upsetting anyone. And when I write a lot, it's just an attempt to explain things so that there are no questions. I am happy with any reasonable criticism, and I take your opinions into account. Therefore, I'm waiting for insults, but with suggestions. That will be useful to me.

The recruitment of players is going according to plan, and we are gradually revising the regulations – I have already taken many things into account, and I will correct some points a little later. There is a lot of work to do on the tournament itself. No matter how the composition of the participants changes, the tournament will happen. In one form or another.
