2nd annual offline tournament "Best Of The Best"

Not at all!
Here's a portrait of an advanced Heroes 3 user:
age 20-35.

You shouldn't judge the entire portal based on your clan. The average age of a forum user is no more than 20, and there are also many players of the third game. Yes, strong players are often older, but you shouldn't forget that education lasts from 17 to 25. It varies for everyone.

Thus, the period in which the tournament was held was optimal for a large number of players in the third Heroes game.

Really? But why do the tournament statistics say the opposite? If the timing was so convenient, why was the turnout for the tournament the lowest in the entire year? Was it due to the complexity of the map? No, the map for free play is quite simple due to the presence of Sorcerers.
