The 8th stage of the annual John Van Caneghem Tournament (2008).

Good day.

The word "suffered" is not appropriate here; I deliberately refrained from competing for higher places because the fun of the game is much more important to me than the position I occupy.

Fun is fun – I won't argue. Special thanks for participating and creating competition in the Tournaments.
It's a pity that not many strong players took part in the Tournaments.

You know, I didn't understand your idea and didn't appreciate it. It seemed like there were talks about removing the 3rd criterion because it leads to unnecessary time loss during gameplay. And then, suddenly, the potentially most time-consuming criterion in my memory. Plus, it's not entirely clear what the starting hero's experience should display in the game, but that's just my opinion.

Well, there isn't this 3rd criterion...
That's why the second criterion was chosen as experience. Why not the first? Because there have been Tournaments based on experience, but not on mines... So, it was decided to choose these two criteria.
To be honest, the choice of the second criterion was also influenced by the fact that I remembered from the Race that everyone always ignored the starting hero... and here I just decided to somehow correct this situation (it seems I succeeded).

Sincerely, K0Lb@zzeR.
