Турнир с HeroesPortal

Wow, I really stirred things up, I apologize, I didn't mean to.

There are total inconsistencies with HP, the game version, and the type of competition for those who always get top marks.

Regarding the tournament, here's what I would say. Undoubtedly, playing with the mod has its own peculiarities; it might even result in a slightly different game. Of course, some practice is needed here as well. However, since there probably won't be any more patches, and in Heroes 5, there are obvious things that dominate and that players usually focus on when developing their main hero, the game becomes somewhat one-sided – usually, players focus on upgrading machines and wasps. I don't think anyone will argue with that.
In principle, the mod balances many of these and other things. In principle, you can read about all the changes; now, there's also a changelog and a description of the changes for the mod. That is, if someone wants to understand the game with the mod, they can easily do so.
Based on my own experience playing, for example, on the fixes, and playing with and without the mod, I would rate the degree of balance differently.

Here, I would suggest the following: perhaps before the inter-portal tournament, if the decision is made to hold it with the mod, we could hold our own internal tournament on this resource – to get a feel for what the mod is like, and ultimately, to practice. Of course, there will still be many opponents after that when playing with the mod. But I think these will be the players who haven't really grasped it, or who simply don't know how to play.

I'll say right away that I'm not promoting the mod; if you read my posts on the League, you'll see that I've always approached it critically, but partly, the criticism of the mod also served as a starting point for its improvement.
Conclusion: I suggest holding a preliminary online tournament with the mod (TE) – a tournament is the best way to get acquainted with something new in real combat gaming conditions.
