But we're not robots; we learn through trial and error. At one point, I also thought that third-tier heroes were doomed.
And what happened? I joined this forum, found friends who love the game as much as I do. Then I shared a link to this resource with my old friends, and they joined too. After me, people from Moscow and Simferopol came here, and these are major centers for the game with a long history, which means that people there also care about the game. Look how many people are playing random games now, and the skill level of the players is constantly increasing.
It's always harder to play fixed maps; you have to pay attention to the maps, so there should be fewer people. Before, there was no alternative – only fixed maps. But now, people can choose what they want to play, and that's a good thing.
I looked at the standings of the first tournaments, and there was some interesting competition, with 24 people playing. But I noticed how many technical defeats there were. This means either no-shows or rule violations.
So, the skill level of many players was hardly high. I just looked at the nicknames – many of these people were already gone from the forum when I joined. That is, they played for a while and left, and naturally, they didn't set any goals to improve their game, and that's their right. So, what's wrong with these people?
Let there be fewer people, but more serious ones. Then less experienced players can learn to play fixed maps, especially if they all provide reports, and strong players can come to the resource if they see that people are playing seriously.
I just played against Bob I; he's from Kyiv, like you. We played for two weeks, but it was a great match, and I lost, by the way. He's a good player. I wish there were more like him. There are many such people – old players from ToHa, many from St. Petersburg, and also people from other regions. So, everything is fine; the tournament will be good. If the people participating in the tournament stay, there is a chance to invite another 5-6 strong players for fixed maps by the fall and further strengthen the roster for the seasonal tournament.
