TE – your opinion.

My name is Alex too, but the post above isn't mine :)
Although, everything is spot on.

I wasn't referring to you.

To Dust: talking a lot means people won't remember you :)

That's not my goal.

1. Let's say there are about 100 people in each country who actively play Heroes... I mean, those who participate in rankings, etc., and not just play at home. Let's take 100 countries - although there are 250 in the world ;) - that's 10,000 good players in the world... and what does a list of 80 TE players mean against that number?

I disagree with the 10,000 good players. Not all 100 countries have Heroes as popular as it is here or in China, etc. So, there are definitely fewer. And what do you mean by "good"? I think there are far fewer players in the world with whom you would genuinely enjoy playing. But that's not the point. You said you can't find opponents for yourself on TE, but they haven't even shown up in this thread, what are you talking about? ;-)

I'll repeat that TE has a good idea with the unit dragging feature. That's a plus. But it's not profitable for the developers to implement this on a large scale - they are already thinking about the 5th and 6th Heroes games.
There's no commercial benefit for them here :(

Wow, you noticed something good, I'm really glad :-) I can confidently say that there are many other good ideas... ;-) You can download TE "massively" from the internet, and it's completely free. Of course, you need to want to, so "massively" isn't the issue here.

Example: on the League, in 2 Dust games, I gathered troops on the arena against Horn Barb... on a map with many troops to raise skeletons :) I gave him a hint, and Horn lost...

So what? Be proud of it, you're doing well. :-) I confirm that during a conversation in ICQ with Captain, the idea of raising skeletons came up, which I successfully implemented, just like Horn, but it turned out a little better. Does that make you feel better? ;-) But it wasn't a Barb, and I won because I had a lot of cooldowns.

4. "Tournaments will judge" (quote)... yes, I'll brag, I have 2 Grandmaster titles (in offline and online) - no one else has that ;) on the most popular portal (for Heroes) + a victory in the League championship... against the same Dust... Many people remember the League Championship because of my descriptions - the unconventional strategies that rarely occur to someone with a conventional mindset.

I know about your titles. :-) And probably not all forum members here have heard about it, so go ahead and tell us more. But please, don't be too loud about the Championship, where you completed all 5 saves, and I only had time for 4, and about the fact that in 3 out of 4, I... well, you didn't mention that, did you? ;-), and I don't see anything about you winning online "cleanly" either, but okay, at least imagine how much the residents of HeroesWorld learned about two players, one from the Portal, the other from the League. :-)

Come on, maybe we can discuss the good old days in ICQ, I'm sometimes available in the evening. Otherwise, it will turn into a complete off-topic. ;-)

to Fireball - I didn't see your post while I was writing this, sorry, I'll definitely answer tomorrow, I have to go now.
